In a conversation with Collider's Christina Radish, Dylan Clark, a producer on The Batman and executive producer on The Penguin, revealed that the spin-off series starring Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb originally began as part of the plan for The Batman Part II. In fact, according to Clark, the rise of Cobb — seen as a mid-level gangster in The Batman — was initially supposed to kick off the second film in Matt Reeves' planned trilogy.
“One of the first drafts of The Batman was long. Matt storyboards in the scripts, and it was just so detailed and delicious, but it was busting at the seams... And then, in a meeting with Casey and Sarah , he said, 'You know, we could do this.' And the Penguin was just the obvious character to do. Colin was so amazing in our movie. He was only in six scenes. When we tested the movie, he always rated at the top with Rob .
While The Penguin now has room to fully explore the gangster origins of Cobb, this recalibration has also given Reeves the opportunity to focus on new narratives for The Batman: Part II. According to Clark, this was a balancing act that ultimately opened doors for the creative team: By separating these stories, The Penguin will give viewers a deep dive into the character’s journey, while The Batman: Part II continues the story of Bruce Wayne and his evolving role as Gotham’s protector.
