"I must choose my targets carefully. It's a big city. I can't be everywhere. But they don't know where I am." I try using this as the reason for him not showing up, but you'd think with that many murders, he would. On the other hand, perhaps he views it as the various gangs doing his work for him As well, correct me if I'm wrong, Crown Point is part of The Eastside, which is across the river from Gotham. That would make it the equivalent of New Jersey being across the Hudson from New York. Maybe Batman just doesn't have the capabilities, currently, to keep tabs of goings on outside of Gotham. Or if currently he has more important targets than The Penguin Hopefully it's addressed by the finale, before The Batman II, or at the beginning of The Batman II
@@gohabs8918i definitely agree with everything, i believe myself too that batman does know about this whole penguin and sofia situation thats going on but is watching behind the scenes but in batman 2 im hoping he definitely mentions and addresses it all
@@whitemamba061after this recent episode with the tunnel collapsing, people needing help and his bat cave being somewhat connected, it’s pretty much impossible to believe he wouldn’t show up
Just like in the Joker comic, batman is a looming presence in the background during the entire story. Joker knows he's there and watches him, but he knows its something he cant intervene with.
So Batman just casually watched Joker molest a woman!!! Damn... I recall that comic being pretty edgy overall, unless I'm thinking of a differant comic.
I would be very hppy if just ONE scene, if you look in the background at the right moment, you could see Batman perched up high and just watching from the darkness.
Yeah… I kinda wished they would’ve mentioned him in passing or something because they mentioned the riddler on multiple occasions, especially since he was a big part of falcones death and penguin had that run in with him
Yeah exactly I really don’t need to see him. In fact I prefer we don’t see him because I feel like it would just feel like a cameo for the sake of a cameo. BUT I do want to be reminded that this is the same universe constantly. I want it to feel like the movie and not just the sopranos with the penguin in it.
thats right i agree. Same as ppl who asks Darth Vader tv show that they need to see and not realising that they have 6 part movie star wars thats all about him.
@@nuttproductions461 Sofia just started a new family recently and penguin barely established a base. I think it's too soon for Batman yet. Once the series ends and one of them gets control of drugs, i can picture a nod in the Batman 2. That's at least my opinion anyway.

@@jackbauer5455 Haha, I know it sounds ridiculous but I couldn't get enough of it....

Batman 2 is going to be compared to The Dark Knight soo reeves has to hit this outta the park …it has to be freeze or maybe calendar man or one of my favorite the ventriloquist.
What would be better is if he speaks out to the batman in a dark alleyway or something, saying like “i know ur there, batman” but no response back and you see a slight hint of fear on Oz’s face
Matt Reeves gets it! Period! Was so skeptical at first because of the Nolan trilogy but I AM A FAN of his vision of The Batman! Thank you Matt Reeves! Thank you!
"I can't be everywhere, it's a big city." - Batman 2022. I'm pretty sure Penguin is slippery enough to evade Batman, and to avoid past mistakes like he did in the movie.
Do you know anything about Batman, penguin is not slipping through that man’s fingers. He literally had seven interactions with him in the movie and was able to find him extremely easily whenever he wanted. I honestly am scared this is just bad writing and Matt reeves being delusional
@@willlamark8694As he said, he can’t be everywhere at once and that he said “I need to choose my targets carefully.” Meaning he can only focus on one thing at a time as anyone really can. Yes in the comics or animated series he keeps tabs on EVERYONE but live action that’s impossible
I understand him not physically being in the show, but there should be some mentions about the vigilante or the bat by citizens or the news just to bring more life to the show.
The show didn't need Batman. Penguin had his run in with Bats in the first film and he'll butt heads with him in the second film too. Or maybe a second series. Or both. You might as well ask why we didn't see Robin, Nightwing, Superman, Wonder Woman or Flash. This isn't that story. This is a recipe for making Oswald Cobb. The oven just went PING!]
@@trevorberridge6079 imagine if they did have scenes of oz being scared of the bat through out. like hes going to his car but looking around and telling vic "always watch for the shadows kid!" i think that is really cheesy and im glad they didnt sprinkle little scenes like that in like some video game where it affects the immersion differently.
He sustained a lot of injuries at the end of the movie so it makes sense if he needs a rest. But also he had some realizations at the end psychologically. I'm confused as to why they don't at least talk about him. It seems like he kind of came out of the shadows in the movie and you think more people would be talking about a man dressed up like a bat🤷🏻♂️
I get where you're coming from but I feel like in that situation people will talk about the disaster more than someone dressed up as a bat at the disaster. Like 9/11 there are so many heros but when people who experienced 9/11 when it happened they would say similar stuff to what they're saying in the show most the time about how its tragic and how many people have been lost to it. I think we will get a brief mention of him eventually or atleast a little tease of him it just won't be Robert Pattinson it'll be a shot of his boots or cape or a shot of the bat signal to show that the batman is back now
Soo good to have Matt reeves and the cast ect back to talk about this ‘Bat-Verse’ they’ve created … could listen to reeves talk about it all and his way of approaching this all day 😂
Bro I wish he would briefly show up, maybe in a slightly upgraded armor/padding to tease his suit evolution in the next movie, and further drive home his growth from the events of The Batman… It’s always a pleasure to see Rob as Batman, it sucks we won’t be seeing him until The Batman Part II in late 2026…… god forbid 2027, if it’s further pushed back for whatever reason. That would be 4-5 years without seeing him return as Batman… almost HALF (if not half) a DECADE… we could really use some in between appetizers to tide us over until then… if only.
I love that they want to keep Batman mysterious and mythical. If he were present regularly it'd just feel like "Well why didn't they do Batman tv show instead?" But it's so fitting and accurate to the comics for Batman to be out there but no one knows where. He could be monitoring all of Penguin's movements, plots, schemes, etc. But we'll never know until he strikes and that's why Reeves nails the movie and the tv show. He understands the source material and understands that fans will pick up on things that don't fit.
i don’t really need to SEE him, i just feel like it makes sense to have the criminals at least mention his existence, considering that the first 8 minutes of the batman established him as a force to be reckoned with
Honestly, it’s weird that in this Batman crime saga universe, the Penguin will end up having more total screen time by the end of this series. The next two films would probably fix that by giving Batman more and Penguin less again total but that’ll be a while and that’s assuming he Mr. Reeves commits to trilogy.
@@jerogomezrobledobruh… What the hell does the snyderverse have to do with it??? If he doesnt like it fine…. Btw he never said the snyderverse was any good 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️( and i love both snyderverse and reevesverse and im hyped for the new DCU)
That's a true director. He here's a building he wants to use is getting torn down and instead of worrying about wanting to use a new location, bro's first instinct is practical explosion
It's so weird not having batman in the show considering the show takes place right after the movie. They don't even bother mentioning him. There's nothing heard about batman or Bruce Wayne. Where he is or what he's doing right now?
I love that response, it was perfect. The idea of Batman should remain loke the boogieman since we are seeing from the point of view of street thugs. We dont need to see him but know he's there. I absolutely love what they have been doing with the show. This feels like Gotham.
@@MaintenexLLC I think people are looking way deeper into what he said than what was intended... but I don't blame people, I want the court of owls too. I just don't think it's going to happen, sadly
@@MaintenexLLC I just think it was too vague what colson said to mean anything more than just what it turned out to be. I'll hold my hands up if they properly tease the court of owls in The Penguin show but if they don't do it in the show we definitely wont get them in the sequel film
What I wpuld love is for the final episode to be the culmination of the Penguin's plan. But it all goes Breaking Bad at the last second because Batman shows up and completely fucks up everything. You dont really see him but you hear him, Oz's goons go missing and his masterplan gets fucked up right at the end. The only time we see Batman is like some terrifying Exorcist 3 style jump scare following the characters around, just flashes here and there, Batman setting off traps and creating distractions. It goes south and its like Oz is being haunted by a ghost.
Honestly what I felt should have happened is that with these spin off shows between each season there should be appearances of Batman but as a looming background threat. When they did the chase scene in episode 1 it would have been cool to have the Batmobile crash into the people that were chasing Oz and he gets away. Little things like that will go a long way with fans I know it.
It’s much better that they’re not making it about Batman. I like the idea of being in the street level with Penguin. I feel whenever the season finale is Oz will be be so powerful in the streets that Batman will have to intervene. At that point seeing him will make sense when it gets built up to that
I live to think he’s reanimating some of his methods and is building new and better tech to help in his crusade. Likewise, he could be getting more involved in Wayne Ent. because while the city does need a crime fighter, it also needs disaster relief and aid. Who better to find that than Gotham’s bet on Billionaire, Bruce Wayne?
Episode one was very well done. The dialog, the acting, the settings, the lighting and the makeup have all renewed my search for an adult drama relating to this type venue. Stay away Batman. Bravo
Matt Reeves´s version of Gotham is absolutely perfect, even i really still think that the best version of Gotham is Tim Burton´s. Can´t wait to see this tv show and the sequel to The Batman !
This is another interesting dynamic, I guarantee for a fact that maybe that tv series of the penguin without the Batman it’s gonna last 1 one season. Same as the Joker 2 movie but less stringent as basically the Joker 🃏 its legacy it’s cemented with Batman there like Yin and yang ☯️ BUT in the penguin topic maybe they can get away with taking out the element of the Batman on one season or 2 but that’s not gonna last.
Batman chased the fuck out of penguin and penguin doesn't even mention him once like seriously not even a single criminal think twice before commiting any crime about baman. Its such a lazy writing batman should be a dark force in the background
I’m ok with the idea of him not showing up but at least light that symbol in the sky show us how feared Batman is for the underground of Gothman through the villains perspectives it would make us understand better the villains and build them further for Part 2
It would be cool if Batman actually does make an appearance....but we don't know it's him. With Matt Reeves finally letting us see the detective side of Batman on the big screen, this would be a great opportunity to see Batman's "Matches Malone" persona. Batman going undercover wearing disguises was some of the most compelling moments of Batman TAS. Imagine Oz's crew bring in a guy they think works for(or has information on) Sophia. They beat him up and interrogate him, then Oz has them take the guy's wallet and we see "Matches Malone" on his ID, to which Oz jokes "hey hey, fellas! Take it easy...leave em alone(Malone) huh hahahaha", "hey Matches....got a light 😂". Then after Oz reveals some info in passing during a conversation, the lights cut out, they scramble to get them back on and see all of Oz's guys are knocked out and Matches is gone.
Do you know the comics have actually done this before there was a story called Gotham Central and it was a Batman story from commissioner Gordon and the GCPD point of view for Batman was like in the shadows hardly ever seen he was still taking down the bad guys but he was hardly seen in that story arc and it was just from the opinions and the perspective of the GCPD really good book really good storyline
They should have atleast had him hidden/doing surveillance on rooftops a couple of times throughout the show, just to show us that he’s still out there watching
I’m not bothered about actually seeing Batman or Bruce but I do want to feel his presence in the city just like the opening of the movie where the criminals saw the signal and didn’t know if he was down that dark alley. Or it would be good to see the aftermath of a crime scene where he’s taken down all the criminals
Tbh I've always preferred it this way, when it feels more like a mob/crime/thriller than a superhero show. When Batman shows up in S2, I hope it's like The Nolan Dark Knight trilogy where he is portrayed more as a vigilante who fights terrorism than a "superhero"
Episode one was very well done. The dialog, the acting, the settings, the lighting all renewed my search for an adult drama relating to this type venue. Stay away Batman.
Speaking of POV's I have always wanted to see a horror type show set in the POV of a terrified criminal that is being hunted by batman that would be pretty awesome we always see how batman operates and how he does what he does but imagine the fear of being hunted by the batman
It's weird when you take into consideration, that... The very week they met, Bruce Wayne (and or Batman) interacted, faught and at least was in the same general area as Oswald, over SIX TIMES ! IN ONE WEEK !... AGAIN, THE VERY WEEK THEY MET... And suddenly, Penguin is still at large, (probably) doing criminal activity at night, and Batman doesn't even show up for a cameo !? Batman got a new hope to fight crime in the movie and the (presumably) only notable villain is at large and active and Batman is just no where !? I mean, he could be on Earth 2 for all the show runners know. Anyway, while that is ridiculous... I'm still INCREDIBLY EXCITED FOR THIS ! I can't wait ! Although ,... It's a HUGE shame James Gunn and WBD want to bury The Batman epic crime Saga's universe, by mercilessly stealing and cancelling spinoffs left snd right and pushing The Batman 2, first to 2025, Then to 2026 (i think their goal is to delay it to 2147, though). But they destroy everything else too, so whatever. I can't wait for The Penguin !!!
That time in Gotham was all about the war between Falcone/Maroni. The time of The Long Halloween. Batman would be heavily involved, and Catwoman is Falcone's illegitimate daughter, so she would be there as well.
I love this show because I ain't even thinking of Batman. I forget he exists and that how it would be everyday in Gotham. All they know is stories of a crazy vigilante from the news but everyone is just trying to survive so the bat guy isn't what people think about. It's will I be a statistic in this world run by druglords and corrupt politicians. There's no "superman" in the sky to protect me when I find myself in a dark alley. Just myself watching over my shoulder trying to get home at night.
Im happy they didn’t show batman and focused on the penguin. BUT I still want to see the POV of the thugs and villains and how they see batman. But in a horror way especially since it’s October.

@@jerogomezrobledobruh… What the hell does the snyderverse have to do with it??? If he doesnt like it fine…. Btw he never said the snyderverse was any good 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️( and i love both snyderverse and reevesverse and im hyped for the new DCU)
We know where he is- "They think I'm hiding in the shadows but I am the shadows" 😂
That's a true director. He here's a building he wants to use is getting torn down and instead of worrying about wanting to use a new location, bro's first instinct is practical explosion
It's so weird not having batman in the show considering the show takes place right after the movie. They don't even bother mentioning him. There's nothing heard about batman or Bruce Wayne. Where he is or what he's doing right now?
He says in the movie he can't be everywhere at once, but there's so much violence in the show I'm wondering wth he's doing, lol
@mentvltrillness Same I also wonder why we don't hear anything about him or Bruce Wayne.
I think
He must've suffered major injuries after the Riddler incident and is now in recovering state
I hope they come up with better explanation
I love that response, it was perfect. The idea of Batman should remain loke the boogieman since we are seeing from the point of view of street thugs. We dont need to see him but know he's there. I absolutely love what they have been doing with the show. This feels like Gotham.
i think batmans disapperance can be explained by him getting kidnapped by either hush or court of owls as both were teased in batman 1
I dont get how people dont talk about what colson said before he died…he definitely planted the seeds for the court of owls
@@MaintenexLLC I think people are looking way deeper into what he said than what was intended... but I don't blame people, I want the court of owls too. I just don't think it's going to happen, sadly
@@karlfleming7182why not
@@MaintenexLLC I just think it was too vague what colson said to mean anything more than just what it turned out to be. I'll hold my hands up if they properly tease the court of owls in The Penguin show but if they don't do it in the show we definitely wont get them in the sequel film
@@karlfleming7182 agree
What I wpuld love is for the final episode to be the culmination of the Penguin's plan. But it all goes Breaking Bad at the last second because Batman shows up and completely fucks up everything. You dont really see him but you hear him, Oz's goons go missing and his masterplan gets fucked up right at the end. The only time we see Batman is like some terrifying Exorcist 3 style jump scare following the characters around, just flashes here and there, Batman setting off traps and creating distractions. It goes south and its like Oz is being haunted by a ghost.
Batman is helping clean up the city and he’s most likely is aware of the penguin but he’s gathering information before he makes his move.
Matt Point of View Reeves
FR 😂
Batman isn't in The Penguin because he's at home! WASHING HIS TIGHTS!
Don't be silly. Batman doesn't wash his tights. He has a manservant for that.
I understood that reference.
Getting to experience Batman from the villains POV would be game changing
Honestly what I felt should have happened is that with these spin off shows between each season there should be appearances of Batman but as a looming background threat. When they did the chase scene in episode 1 it would have been cool to have the Batmobile crash into the people that were chasing Oz and he gets away. Little things like that will go a long way with fans I know it.
It would be awesome if there is one episode where Batman is used not shown but used in some way.
I dont mind Batman NOT bring in the show, but for the shows universe to act like he just doesn't exist is so weird for me.
THATS EXACTLY WHAT IM SAYING
It’s much better that they’re not making it about Batman. I like the idea of being in the street level with Penguin. I feel whenever the season finale is Oz will be be so powerful in the streets that Batman will have to intervene. At that point seeing him will make sense when it gets built up to that
Very good episode can’t wait to see more
Of course, Matt isn't gonna reveal batman's gonna show up, but we know he's gonna appear at some point in that series. Maybe the finale.
I live to think he’s reanimating some of his methods and is building new and better tech to help in his crusade. Likewise, he could be getting more involved in Wayne Ent. because while the city does need a crime fighter, it also needs disaster relief and aid. Who better to find that than Gotham’s bet on Billionaire, Bruce Wayne?
Love the show! I like that it is dark and it is not raining in every scene like in the Batman.
Episode one was very well done. The dialog, the acting, the settings, the lighting and the makeup have all renewed my search for an adult drama relating to this type venue. Stay away Batman. Bravo
You are just a kid then😂
First time I hear Matt Reeves talking, I was not expecting such a high pitch voice, lol
This is such a cool concept.
Matt Reeves is a genius
Yes, feature the ruins of google without showing the brand; that way the show will remain timeless.
I hope they work Joker in at the end of the series some how so we can see Colin and Barry in a scene together!
Matt Reeves´s version of Gotham is absolutely perfect, even i really still think that the best version of Gotham is Tim Burton´s. Can´t wait to see this tv show and the sequel to The Batman !
This is another interesting dynamic, I guarantee for a fact that maybe that tv series of the penguin without the Batman it’s gonna last 1 one season. Same as the Joker 2 movie but less stringent as basically the Joker 🃏 its legacy it’s cemented with Batman there like Yin and yang ☯️ BUT in the penguin topic maybe they can get away with taking out the element of the Batman on one season or 2 but that’s not gonna last.
Not seeing Batman ONCE in the midst of an all out gang war would just go to show he’s a terrible Batman lmao
I've watched all episode's and I was blown away Collin Farrell wants an oscar for his role.
Can't wait for this
Oz had multiple interactions with him and he doesn't even get a mention as the freak in the suit etc.
This is the best show of 2024 imo.
Batman chased the fuck out of penguin and penguin doesn't even mention him once like seriously not even a single criminal think twice before commiting any crime about baman. Its such a lazy writing batman should be a dark force in the background
Penguin has a limp from that incident and he is obviously repressing the memory of it. Typical tough guy response.
I’m ok with the idea of him not showing up but at least light that symbol in the sky show us how feared Batman is for the underground of Gothman through the villains perspectives it would make us understand better the villains and build them further for Part 2
It would be cool if Batman actually does make an appearance....but we don't know it's him. With Matt Reeves finally letting us see the detective side of Batman on the big screen, this would be a great opportunity to see Batman's "Matches Malone" persona. Batman going undercover wearing disguises was some of the most compelling moments of Batman TAS. Imagine Oz's crew bring in a guy they think works for(or has information on) Sophia. They beat him up and interrogate him, then Oz has them take the guy's wallet and we see "Matches Malone" on his ID, to which Oz jokes "hey hey, fellas! Take it easy...leave em alone(Malone) huh hahahaha", "hey Matches....got a light 😂". Then after Oz reveals some info in passing during a conversation, the lights cut out, they scramble to get them back on and see all of Oz's guys are knocked out and Matches is gone.
Thompson center is not getting torn down. It is getting renovated
I was watching The Batman last night then found out the series is out
Glad I did that
The problem is that it feels like Batman doesn’t even exist.
Do you know the comics have actually done this before there was a story called Gotham Central and it was a Batman story from commissioner Gordon and the GCPD point of view for Batman was like in the shadows hardly ever seen he was still taking down the bad guys but he was hardly seen in that story arc and it was just from the opinions and the perspective of the GCPD really good book really good storyline
Guys maybe Batman does do an appearance but he wants us to experience it ourselves
They should have atleast had him hidden/doing surveillance on rooftops a couple of times throughout the show, just to show us that he’s still out there watching
I hope Mr.Reeves do a serie about Selina in Blüdhaven (with Zoë Kravitz) next!
The best way I can describe it as like the joker book from 2008 where Batman is in there but he’s like almost never mentioned in the book
Given how much they're bringing it up. He's definitely making an appearance 😂
It would be cool if you were to just see him stood on a rooftop in the background
Matt Reeves saving DC cinematographic/series universe
I wouldn't mind Neve Campbell getting a role in The Batman 2.
as who?
I don't know. I was thinking she could be a District Attorney or Detective.
Why
That's random
@@Slice2099 maybe because she is a cool 90s actress and The Batman has 90s grunge/angst vibes lol.
One cameo scene. Just one ☝️
1st episode was very good and can’t wait to see the rest of them.
After all the fire movies, Matt Reeves has made I expected him to have a deep voice, not a soft, whispering voice
I have no way to prove this statement, but I firmly believe Matt Reeves could direct anything in any genre and it would be good if not great.
I’m not bothered about actually seeing Batman or Bruce but I do want to feel his presence in the city just like the opening of the movie where the criminals saw the signal and didn’t know if he was down that dark alley. Or it would be good to see the aftermath of a crime scene where he’s taken down all the criminals
Keep making these villain shows/movies so good I’ma start rooting against Batman ☹️
Tbh I've always preferred it this way, when it feels more like a mob/crime/thriller than a superhero show. When Batman shows up in S2, I hope it's like The Nolan Dark Knight trilogy where he is portrayed more as a vigilante who fights terrorism than a "superhero"
All this just makes the fact that the Batman 2 isn’t coming out for another 2 years hurt even more
Havent watched the show, but i at least hope you feel his presence even if he doesnt show up, which is what they seem to be going for
great job
Episode one was very well done. The dialog, the acting, the settings, the lighting all renewed my search for an adult drama relating to this type venue. Stay away Batman.
Speaking of POV's I have always wanted to see a horror type show set in the POV of a terrified criminal that is being hunted by batman that would be pretty awesome we always see how batman operates and how he does what he does but imagine the fear of being hunted by the batman
"Its expensive" there you go
He don’t have to show up but at the very least I think they need to mention him like maybe victor saying hey what do we do if the Batman shows up
It's weird when you take into consideration, that... The very week they met, Bruce Wayne (and or Batman) interacted, faught and at least was in the same general area as Oswald, over SIX TIMES ! IN ONE WEEK !... AGAIN, THE VERY WEEK THEY MET... And suddenly, Penguin is still at large, (probably) doing criminal activity at night, and Batman doesn't even show up for a cameo !?
Batman got a new hope to fight crime in the movie and the (presumably) only notable villain is at large and active and Batman is just no where !?
I mean, he could be on Earth 2 for all the show runners know.
Anyway, while that is ridiculous... I'm still INCREDIBLY EXCITED FOR THIS ! I can't wait !
Although ,... It's a HUGE shame James Gunn and WBD want to bury The Batman epic crime Saga's universe, by mercilessly stealing and cancelling spinoffs left snd right and pushing The Batman 2, first to 2025, Then to 2026 (i think their goal is to delay it to 2147, though). But they destroy everything else too, so whatever.
I can't wait for The Penguin !!!
I hope they’re just keeping quiet on a potential cameo in some form.
@@KillianRuffley456 he is not that expensive
@@KillianRuffley456idk it’s hard to write a presence like Batman into a crime drama neatly
That time in Gotham was all about the war between Falcone/Maroni. The time of The Long Halloween. Batman would be heavily involved, and Catwoman is Falcone's illegitimate daughter, so she would be there as well.
They aren't tearing the Thompson Center down. It's an extreme remodel
They really should give Jake a lot longer for his interviews. Five minutes doesn't do anyone justice.
I love this show because I ain't even thinking of Batman. I forget he exists and that how it would be everyday in Gotham. All they know is stories of a crazy vigilante from the news but everyone is just trying to survive so the bat guy isn't what people think about. It's will I be a statistic in this world run by druglords and corrupt politicians. There's no "superman" in the sky to protect me when I find myself in a dark alley. Just myself watching over my shoulder trying to get home at night.
Im happy they didn’t show batman and focused on the penguin. BUT I still want to see the POV of the thugs and villains and how they see batman. But in a horror way especially since it’s October.
