For as much drama going on over at Warner Bros. Discovery, some projects are still in the works. Among them is Colin Farrell’s The Batman spinoff centered on the Penguin. In an interview with ExtraTV, he offered up a few tidbits of information about the upcoming series. Beware spoilers for The Batman.
“[The show] starts about a week after the film The Batman ends, so Gotham is still somewhat underwater,” Farrell said, referring to the film’s climactic ending. “I read the script for the first episode, and it opens up with my feet splashing through water in Falcone’s office. Even just that alone, I read it, I was like, ‘Oh, jeez.'”
Farrell calls the script lovely and “so well-written” in the interview, and commends showrunner Lauren LeFranc.
