The Penguin (The Batman) limited series | HBO Max

Maybe they worry about diminishing Batman's impact on the Big Screen if he's on TV aswell. Although I don't know why that wouldn't apply even more to Superman.

Yeah, there could be a logical explanation along these lines. Frankly Batman is overexposed in films alone, put aside cartoons and comics. If he was also overexposed with tv shows (most of which being sub-par) then that could potentially hurt the brand.

Though Superman has a lot of exposure, he hasn't had near the exposure that Batman does in film and animated TV.

While i’m all for Batman being a cinema only character lets not pretend that Batman Forever, Batman and Robin and The Dark Knight Rises didn’t have a negative impact on the Batman brand.

Yes Dark Knight Rises, that silly freaking voice of his lol

That being said,

While i’m hearing great things about the show what seriously worries me is that five episodes in and they don’t ever mention the name Batman once, not ONCE!

That’s very unrealistic considering this takes place after the damn movie.

sigh

I think he's lying. I remember seeing Pattinson flying into New York when they were shooting the show.

Cause you know, nobody ever goes to the tiny, middle of nowhere town of New York for any other reason

But I do think we’ll see him either as Bats or Bruce at some point

Really liked the first episode. Did a great job drawing you in and wanting to see things to the end. Been a while since I’ve had a pilot episode do that to me. I’d already love to see this show continue on its own regardless how the films go.

Yes, great episode. This has potential to be something special.

Interesting ep. Was worried about the shoed-in sidekick from the trailers, but it all worked well in the end (although I doubt Oz would have actually been so "compassionate" about Vic).

Some of the acting was amazing - his mom, and Falcone's daughter were standouts.

Invested enough to keep going at this stage and it's great to know it's just one season. Apparently it leads straight into the next movie, so Oz better play a big part in it.

I'll watch this tonight -- but Falcone's daughter was already a standout in the trailer. I think she's gonna be great.
