Epix really wants everyone to know that Pennyworth is a Batman-related show.
Just in case the premise of the series wasn't already abundantly clear, the upcoming third season has been given the hilariously direct new title, The Origin of Batman's Butler.
To be fair, putting the word "Batman" into the title is a smart move and probably will result in a few more viewers, but surely they could have come up with something better than this?
IGN has also debuted an official plot synopsis, which reveals a new time-period and confirms that we're going to start seeing more super-powered characters enter the fray.
“Season three of the psychological thriller begins after a five-year time jump: the civil war is over, and a cultural revolution has changed the world for better or worse – ushering in a new age of Super Heroes and Supervillains.”
Check out the teaser below, and let us know what you make of the new title. Have you been watching Pennyworth? Is it worth checking out? Drop us a comment in the usual place.
Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler stars Jack Bannon, Ben Aldridge, Emma Paetz, Paloma Faith, Ryan Fletcher, Dorothy Atkinson, Ramon Tikaram, Harriet Slater, and Simon Manyonda. Season 3 is set to premiere on HBO Max this October.
