"The Batman" Is a Hit — but Who's His Next Nemesis?

In the comics, the Penguin is a crime kingpin, but in "The Batman," we see that he's not yet at the top of the food chain. He's a lieutenant under Falcone and operates a nightclub called the Iceberg Lounge. In a Dec. 20 interview with Empire, Reeves described the Penguin in the film as a "mid-level mobster guy" who has "a bit of showmanship," but he wants more power. It's likely we'll see the Penguin become the villain we all know him to be in the comics when his spinoff series comes to HBO Max. If so, he could become a real threat to Batman in a future film.
