The Penguin is the first spin-off to be released from Matt Reeves' take on The Batman. Focusing on one of the major characters in that film, Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb, the series has been compared to everything from The Sopranos to Scarface (including in our own The Penguin review) as it takes viewers deep into Gotham's criminal underbelly. Its main focus? One man's determination to rise to the very top.
However, while The Penguin is clearly very connected to The Batman, the lack of official crossover between the two (there's no Batman cameo, for instance) means that you might be a little bit confused about how they link up timing wise. Add to this some confusion over whether it's a prequel, sequel, or something in between, it all gets a bit messy – and that's without even mentioning the DCU timeline.
