Robert Pattinson’s Batman was destined to appear at one point The Penguinand the details revealed from the discarded Batman scene would have fit with the direction his Bruce Wayne is taking Batman – Part II. The PenguinThe cast of characters was led by Colin Farrell’s Oz Cobbwith lots of interesting new players for Matt Reeves Batman franchise debuting in the DC series. Cristin Milioti’s Sofia Falcone was the biggest of them, fighting Oz for control of Gotham City’s criminal underworld.
After Oz was victorious, The PenguinThe end of the film showed the Bat-Signal lighting up the sky, suggesting that the Penguin and Batman face off in Batman – Part II. That brief final moment was the only direct link to Batman in the DC series, and The Dark Knight’s absence became the main complaint about The Penguin. Even though Oz and Sofia left a trail of bodies across Gotham, which included a bomb going off in Crown Point, Batman was nowhere to be found. However, it turns out that there have already been plans for Pattinson to appear in The Penguin.
The Penguin Dismantled Batman’s Look
Bruce Wayne could have met an important character
Although Robert Pattinson was never intended to appear as Batman in the DC series, The Penguinthe team had plans for him to appear as Bruce Wayne. Talking to Weekly entertainment, Batman franchise creator Matt Reeves revealed that they toyed with some possible ways to include Batman in the series. One of them would have seen Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne meet Rhenzy Feliz’s Victor Aguilar. However, this idea was ultimately scrapped before making it into the DC series’ script, as Reeves says: “But even that ended up confusing things too much..”
The Penguin showrunner Lauren LeFranc expanded on this idea, with the executive explaining Batman’s absence by saying that they wanted The Penguin focus firmly on the characters the story is aboutand Batman or other characters that undermined this didn’t make sense to appear. That said, Batman’s absence while Gotham City was in chaos, even if the explanation was that he was helping those affected by the flood, was a problem. If Bruce Wayne had appeared in a single scene with Vic to suggest he was somewhat aware of what was going on, it would have been better.

Matt Reeves revealed details about Batman sequel
Batman has been undone The Penguin scene would not only have resolved the show’s biggest complaint, but it would have also created Batman – Part II. Talking to Digital SpyMatt Reeves revealed that Batman blames himself to some extent for the Riddler being able to flood Gotham. He also added that Bruce Wayne will find”very difficult to be Batman” in Batman – Part II. This could be due to the guilt Bruce is feeling, and if he had appeared in The Penguin and met Vic, not saving him while Oz kills Vic would increase his guilt.
