Spoilers for the recent season finale of The Penguin follow.

Despite Selina Kyle getting a mention in the final episode of The Penguin, it seems there are no current plans for another The Batman spin-off series focusing on Zoë Kravitz's take on the Dark Knight's feline foe.

In "A Great or Little Thing," Sofia Falcone is sent back to Arkham after Oz Cobb arranges to have her arrested. Despite initially appearing to resign herself to a grim future behind bars, Sofia is given a glimmer of hope in the form of a letter from her half-sister, Selina Kyle. The contents of the letter are not disclosed, but the smile on Sofia's face suggests that Catwoman might have suggested a team-up.

"In the end, I did want to leave Sofia with a level of hope," showrunner Lauren LeFranc told The Wrap in a recent interview. "I mean, our show is a tragedy and her end, I think, should feel tragic. But when she receives the letter from Selina Kyle — you know the fact that her entire arc in our show has been so much about how she doesn’t feel a connection to her family, and how her family has betrayed her, and she has no one, and she feels all alone — at the end, we realize that she isn’t completely alone, and that she actually does have family out there that she didn’t know about, and maybe there could be some hope for a future connection."

HBO and Max CEO and Chairman Casey Bloys has now confirmed that other spin-offs are planned - but a Catwoman show will not be one of them.

“We’ve been talking mostly about: Is there another story with The Penguin?," Bloys tells TV Line. "I have to let him get that movie set up and moving. But [Matt and Penguin showrunner Lauren LeFranc] work really well together, so hopefully they’ll find something that they think is exciting.” 

A disappointing update for Catwoman fans, but we are sure to catch up with the daughters of Carmine Falcone in Matt Reeves' The Batman Part II.

We want to know what you made of this first season (more have been discussed, but not confirmed) of The Penguin, so be sure to vote in the poll at the link below.

The Penguin stars Colin Farrell (Oz Cobb), Cristin Milioti (Sofia Falcone), Rhenzy Feliz (Victor Aguilar), Michael Kelly (Johnny Viti), Shohreh Aghdashloo (Nadia Maroni), Deirdre O’Connell (Francis Cobb), Clancy Brown (Salvatore Maroni), James Madio (Milos Grapa), Scott Cohen (Luca Falcone), Michael Zegen (Alberto Falcone), Carmen Ejogo (Eve Karlo), and Theo Rossi (Dr. Julian Rush).

The eight-episode DC Studios drama series continues The Batman epic crime saga that filmmaker Matt Reeves began with Warner Bros. Pictures’ global blockbuster The Batman, and centers on the character played by Farrell in the film.

The series is executive produced by Matt Reeves, Dylan Clark, Colin Farrell, Lauren LeFranc, who writes and serves as showrunner, Craig Zobel, who directs the first three episodes, and Bill Carraro. Based on characters created for DC by Bob Kane with Bill Finger, the show is produced by Reeves’ 6th & Idaho Productions and Dylan Clark Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, where Reeves and 6th & Idaho are under an overall deal. Daniel Pipski also serves as executive producer.

Does everyone need a spin-off?

@xfactor - No, but a Catwoman show seemed like the most logical choice if they are doing more.

@xfactor - That Chernobyl cop with the raspy voice who also turned up in Penguin needs a spin off series pronto.

@HashTagSwagg - Funnily enough, you might recognize that cop as the Lord of Blood.

@HashTagSwagg - He was a cool character in the comics. Mackenzie 'Hardback' Bock.

He went from being a young black guy who read a lot to being an old white guy who smoked too much glue.

I actually think Catwoman probably is the best pick for another spin off. They did a good job with her in The Batman and it would allow them to bring back Sofia.

@MrDandy - good point

@MrDandy -

Agreed. You could even show what she got up to in Bludhaven before coming back to gotham

This should be the slate

2026
The Batman Part 11
The Joker (HBO show)

2028
The Batman Part III

@WakandaTech -

I think Batman III being released in 2030 is more likely, which leaves 3 years to include a show or two leading up to it.

@WakandaTech - much more value in a show about Selina imo. They should leave Joker alone unless he's being featured in an Arkham show or something (not counting movie appearances)

I think Harvey Dent makes the most sense for a spin off next.

After the events of The Batman Penguin, there will likely be an even bigger push from the people of Gotham to fix their rampant crime issue.

Dent as DA, giving us glimpses of his personal life pre Two Face transformation, and interacting with major Gotham players possibly even including Oz could help flesh this world out more.

The other potentially cool option would be to have something focused on the Gotham PD and how they are trying to cope with the chaos in their city.

@mountainman - Harvey Dent would be a great spin off. He can tie into everything going on.

@mountainman - Dent and Gotham PD are both solid and can tie together very well.
I do think Catwoman has potential based on both the end of the first film and the end of Penguin.
I think an Arkham show is also a decent way to keep things going but I wouldn't want a Joker series as I keep seeing some people push for

@Slotherin - Im trying to think about a different vibe for each show. If there were a Catwoman series, I’d rather have it be focused on her being a burglar and riding through Gotham high society.

I’d like some aspect of this universe to be on the “crime fighting” side too: Dent, Montoya, Gordon, etc. Could potentially have the cops and the law in the same show.

I’m with you on no Joker. If they use him in Batman 2 or 3, I’d still prefer no in depth origin. The character is better without one.

If they do turn Rush into Scarecrow, I’d almost rather see that in a show vs movie (to avoid Batman Begins comparisons).

Other villains that could work in this world:
- Court of Owls
- Hush
- Mad Hatter
- Expand the gangster side with Black Mask

@Slotherin - Please no Joker. I dont see how you can do 6 to 9 episodes of utter chaos
