THE BATMAN PART II Reportedly Features THE PENGUIN's [SPOILER] In A Significant Role

According to a new rumour that's doing the rounds online today, The Batman Part II will feature one key character from The Penguin in a "big" role. You can find everything we know so far after the jump...

The Penguin has received rave reviews from fans and critics alike, heightening excitement for The Batman Part II. Oz Cobb is expected to play a key role in the sequel, suggesting the villain's show ends with him becoming Gotham City's new Kingpin of Crime. 

However, he may not be the only familiar face we see in the movie...and there's now a chance he isn't the guaranteed victor in his war with Sofia Falcone. According to scooper @MyTimeToShineH, "[Cristin Milioti's] Sofia [Falcone] will play a big role in The Batman Part [II]."

Milioti's performance has been praised by everyone, with many arguing that she's stolen the show from the phenomenal Colin Farrell. With that in mind, we're not exactly shocked to learn filmmaker Matt Reeves likely has plans for Selina Kyle's half-sister. 

We're expecting the writer/director to keep the focus on Gotham City's underworld - this franchise has been dubbed "The Batman Epic Crime Saga" - and Sofia acting into that is an intriguing prospect. 

Plot details for The Batman Part II are few and far between and there's currently no official word on who the lead villain will be in the Dark Knight's next solo outing. 

"I think it's [revenge, justice, and power], for sure and just like years of things building up and feeling, even if it's in a sinister way, free for the first time maybe ever," Milioti recently said when asked about Sofia's main driving force. "I also think there's a real bottomlessness to her. I don't know she'll heal what happened."

"I think that that's something that we also see when people sort of pursue power with such vigor. Kind of asking, well, What are you? What do you think that's going to do for you?" she continued. "That's also why I like this universe too. Everyone you know - Batman, his villains—are all in pursuit of healing something by gaining power and excreting their version of justice. It's interesting."

Asked at New York Comic Con whether we've seen the last of Sofia after The Penguin, Milioti responded, "I hope not, because I love her. I also would have a laser pointer on my head if I say anything but I love her and I selfishly hope not, you know?"

We've seen The Penguin in its entirety and while we can't say too much right now due to embargo restrictions, the scooper may not be off the mark with this latest claim. 

The first five episodes of The Penguin are now streaming on Max. A promo for next week's episode has also been released which you can watch in the player below.

Hoping she survives the series, great character. Penguin has never really been the reigning kingpin in Gotham, so it would make sense with Falcone and (likely) Maroni gone.

I was pretty excited to read this until I realized who the "scooper" was reporting it.

I would ask why Wilding feels the need to repost this bullsh*t, but, I mean... it DID get me to click on it, so whether it's a croc of sh*t or not, he got my engagement.

... Why do I even bother with this goddamn website?

What I think they should do is have Penguin take over Gotham and have Sofia go into a temporary exile to Bludhaven to regroup. They should do a spinoff series where she gets into it with Barbara Gordon!

Really dig her in this role, especially when you consider they kinda went the complete opposite route than how she is in the comics. That being said, if Batman punched her , her face would collapse into her head.

@ObserverIO - I rarely like when they chance the source material but I have to admit I’m glad they went the route they did with her in the show.

I really hope we get to see a live action Barda one day and that she’s actually as big as she is in the comics.

@BruceWayng - Yeah I knee-jerked a 'Not My Sofia' kind of comemnt when she was cast, but she's been SO GOOD. I am gladly eating my crow. She's perfection.

@ObserverIO - She's dead to rights in Hollywood, but it would have been inspired to see Carano as that version. Happy with what we got though.

Matt Reeves is talking a lot about how Batman rogues gallery are created in a response to Bruce becoming Batman, that is why Oz is not fully Penguin yet because not everyone knows about The Batman. So im expecting less mob bosses and more crazy villains like Mr Freeze since the movie is set in the winter and it makes sense more crazy and dangerous villains now that pretty much everyone knows that the Batman is a real thing.

If the Riddler in his first year could almost destroy the entire city imagine what Freeze could do. Im also expecting them to develop the Joker plan to ascape from Arkham and the Penguin maybe going to Arkham. I feel like Reeves is bulding up a Arkham City for part 3 or part 4.

I still think with Batman 2 pushed to 2026 that they are waiting to see what Superman does before going into production.

After Joker 2, there’s gotta be talk about how to create a cohesive universe that makes blockbusters with a narrative that audiences can easily follow.

And don’t tell me they wouldn’t pass up guaranteed Batman 2 money, because almost everyone assumed Joker 2 was a lock. Now it’s all up for grabs.

She’s either gonna expose Crane or hire Deathstroke. I think she might even ask Black Mask for help in stopping Oz. Maybe she lets Joker out on a deal. Can’t wait for this to all come together. I’m proud to be a Batman/ DC fan right now. Still think Sofia, Oz, Clayface, Scarecrow, Two Face & Joker will be the villains and Riddler cameo. Since he’s pissed everyone in Gotham off.

@TheJester187 - I was thinking, maybe she teams up with poison ivy, the new mushroom drug felt like it could be great set up for her or maybe Mister Bloom

@XtremeXFan - I'm still thinking she might actually be Poison Ivy.

@TheJester187 - I was floundering on DC for a while up until the Batman came out, but they have really outdone themselves with this show. Marvel was my can’t miss until End Game, and now I just have a few of their upcoming movies that I’m committed to. It really feels like the roles are about to be reversed.

I don't think Sophia is stealing the spotlight at all. I think HBO is doing what it's done best: creating multidimensional characters that make understandable moves, with sprinkles of pleasant surprises.

Colin is a star in this show.

Cristin is bringing the same level of investment to the table.

The best thing they can do is continue to bring their A game. 🪙 🪙

@Huskers - It ain't healthy, hence the slim Kingpin, so I get it. Wreaks havoc with the body. There have been some great performance as a result of taking off the weight moreso I think than putting it on, but you gotta respect it regardless. Colin has been doing the good work in the suit regardless.
