The Batman director Matt Reeves revealed why they chose not to have Batman appear in The Penguin series.
The critically-acclaimed series about Colin Farrell’s Penguin rising to power was a hit. It just recently wrapped up its series finale episode. However some fans were questioning where was the Dark Knight amongst the bloody gang war in the series.
Reeves reminded fans that Batman had plenty of other stuff to worry about in Gotham and was preoccupied while the gang war ensued.
“This was a time of great turmoil in the city, it’s literally the week after what happened [at the end of ‘The Batman’]. Much of the city is in desperation, so police can’t get everywhere, there’s crime everywhere, it’s a very, very dangerous time. [Batman’s] out there trying to grapple with the aftermath of everything that happened, which to some degree he blames himself for.”
