Following yesterday's new trailer (you can have another look below), Total Film has unveiled its latest covers, and they feature another look at HBO's upcoming The Batman spin-off series, The Penguin.

The news-stand cover spotlights Oz Cobb (Colin Farrell), his protégé Victor (Rhenzy Feliz) and the recently rehabilitated Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti), while the subscriber-only image gives us a stylish new look at the Penguin enjoying a cigar.

Sofia may be teaming-up with Oz in the short-term, but don't be surprised if the ruthless daughter of the late Carmine Falcone has ulterior motives (friends close, enemies closer).

Check out the new covers at the link below.

Despite rumors to the contrary, we recently learned that Robert Pattinson's Dark Knight will not appear in the show - though some believe that Matt Reeves may simply be trying to throw fans off the scent.

“I don’t feel like it’s missing something fundamental,” Matt Reeves told SFX. “I feel like it’s an extension of what is fundamentally there. We know this is the world of Batman. You’re going down a different alley. So the spectre of Batman is there. The spectre of the Riddler is there. The spectre of everything that happens in the last movie is there. It informs it. And it’s exactly where we begin.”

“Matt’s films are through the lens of the Batman, so you’re high up, looking down on the city,” added showrunner Lauren LeFranc. “It’s a different perspective. With Oz, you’re in the city streets, you’re in the grit and the muck and the grime. He’s looking up, wanting to claw his way to the top. I think Gotham is an interesting enough city that it deserves to have more doors unlocked within it, and for us to walk through those and see what we think.”

The Penguin also stars 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.

@DrDReturns - I..... I think I need help, guys...

I'm looking at all of the posts on main... Looking at all this upcoming stuff....... And none of it.... I care about none of it. Is this what it feels like to get old and lose interest in the things you once adored?

Jeez... I feel like such a puts. I don't wanna have zero interest.... But here I am.... [frick]...

@TheVandalore - You okay, man? (Genuinely) Hard to read inflection/sarcasm online.

I mean, I kind of agree. There is not much that really interests or excites me from mainstream corporations. I just pop in from time to time to see stuff out of a general interest. Honestly, there is so much art and, specifically, film out there that I like to go back and revisit things. I know this is CBM, but maybe you should look at other topics/genres?

I recently revisited Baroque painter, Caravaggio, and watched for the first time filmmaker, Andrzej Żuławski, "On the Silver Globe".
Find some old familiars or dig around. Lots of art to immerse yourself in :-)

JOKER 2 will make this show, which nobody asked for, look like tidly-winks .... but Penguin will be far more boring.

What if this is a bigger hit than Peacemaker. Will Gunn continue to greenlight Matt Reeves films and spinoff productions?

@Forthas - Notice how Reeves actually gives a [frick] about the characters? Where as Gunn just wants to put his pals on

@Forthas - Nah, a comic book series that totally avoids the comic book. Total vanity project.
Forthas

@FireandBlood - Yes sir! At one point I was doubting whether Colin Farrel was the right person for Penguin but clearly Matt Reeves went with someone who has the talent and range to deliver a great role rather than hire his friends and family members to screw up a role and bear little resemblance to the actual character...Adam Warlock for example.

@Forthas - I don't think Gunn actually has a choice. David Zaslav has given a director more contractual power than the studio head that the director is working for.
Forthas
Forthas - 9/7/2024, 10:09 AM
@ObserverIO - well as long as Reeves is successful it would be hard not to allow him to continue. If Superman bombs it would look even more crazy and Zaslav probably knows it.

Colin Farrell is another one of those actors studios kept trying to push on audiences even after years of repeated rejections.

He seems to be finally finding a bit of success playing a role where his face is covered up by a Robert De Niro mask.
