Where Is Robert Pattinson's Batman During The Penguin Series?
By JEREMY MATHAI
While Oswald Cobb continued his rise in "The Penguin," Robert Pattinson’s Batman was nowhere to be seen. Showrunner Lauren LeFranc never gave an official reason for this.
Logistically, one can guess that either Pattinson's contract didn't allow for his casting or that his schedule was simply too full — but narratively, things get a bit more dicey.
"The Batman" director and "The Penguin" executive producer Matt Reeves revealed why Batman never shows up in "The Penguin" — and his response is surprisingly simple.
"This was a time of great turmoil in the city, it's literally the week after. Much of the city is in desperation, so police can't get everywhere, there's crime everywhere."
"[Batman's] out there trying to grapple with the aftermath of everything that happened," Reeves said. The Penguin's gang war isn’t a priority in the moment.
