Will Robert Pattinson Appear in 'The Penguin' Series?
Showrunner Lauren LeFranc talks about the possibility of Batman's presence in the HBO Max series, 'The Penguin', its Emmy success, and what the future may hold.
Emmy Buzz and Season 2 Speculation
Lauren LeFranc is riding high on the wave of Emmy nominations for 'The Penguin' (a staggering 24!), but the question on everyone's mind is: will there be a second season? While she remains tight-lipped, LeFranc dropped some intriguing hints about the direction the show could take.
"That shocking death in the finale... wasn't the point," LeFranc stated, adding fuel to the fire of fan theories. But what does it all mean for the future of Gotham's underworld?

While 'The Penguin' exists within the same universe as Matt Reeves' 'The Batman', the presence of Batman himself has been minimal. Could we see Robert Pattinson don the cowl in a future season? LeFranc's carefully worded responses suggest it's not entirely off the table.
"The world is interconnected," LeFranc hinted. "We're exploring the ripple effects of Batman's actions on Gotham's criminal element. Never say never."
