"The Penguin" connects Matt Reeves' "The Batman" with the upcoming "The Batman: Part II" while showing Oz Cobb’s arc from ambitious underdog to fully fledged evil villain.
As the show is popular and truly has something to say, the inevitable calls for a second season are incoming. Star Colin Farrell has one specific condition to return as Oz Cobb.
He told The Hollywood Reporter, "If there's a great idea [for season 2], and the writing was really muscular and as strong or stronger on the page [...] of course I would do it."
The fan response to "The Penguin" piqued Farrell's interest in a potential season 2, as he said, "For me, the bar for success is not very high. It's, 'Do most people like it?'"
A possible season 2 really hinges on the success of "The Batman: Part II." Beyond that, it seems likely that Matt Reeves will be looking to give other villains the spotlight.
