The fifth episode of The Penguin, which aired on October 20 on HBO, received a rating of 9.0 on trailer.
Sarah Aubrey, head of HBO Max, revealed that The Penguin will serve as a bridge between two Batman films. She stated, “The series will take place directly after the events of The Batman and temporarily before the second film, acting as a bridge between the two movies. It’s exciting for the audience to know that the series will connect the films.”
Aubrey continued, “The primary goal of placing The Penguin between the Batman films is to show what Oz’s life looks like on the streets of Gotham City. We hope this journey will be enjoyable for fans of the new series, which will consist of eight episodes.”
