The Batman brought us the penguin. HBO latest tv show focusing on OZ rise to power in the wake of the event of the movie. The show success has opened the door that maybe we can get more shows from the movie. We have heard this idea from the show runner but now we have the director open up to his thought about continuing to expand thew world through other character rather than the Batman.
“Yeah. We have been talking, and it’s exciting because people are now embracing the show. My fantasy is coming into being, which is very exciting, and HBO has been incredibly supportive from the beginning.Now to see that the show is being embraced is really, really exciting. We have been talking about doing other shows. I wanted to make sure that we didn’t do the origin tale, which so many of the other series have done. I think the idea of being able to put a lens on these characters is a really exciting idea. It’s about cities and their dysfunction and the world and its dysfunction, which is what Batman stories are all about. They’re all about Gotham being a place that should be better. And you can have that experience of this almost novelistic epic crime saga, but you also just get these separate experiences. They have their own dramatic value. So, Oz’s story is Oz’s story, and the idea is to do these other stories in the same way.” Matt Reeves
This is all steaming how Reeves and the team are handling Oz. Giving it success you would think a 2nd season would be confirmed. The problem is that is still up in the air. For anyone who unsure why Collin Farrell who plays Oz like the idea on expanding on him but the prosthetics and makeup used to bring Matt Reeves version of Oz to live took a tool on Collin to the point he was grumpy being he was miserable.
“I don’t know, man. Don’t get me wrong — I loved it — but it got in on me a little bit. By the end of it, I was bitching and moaning to anyone who would listen to me that I f-ing wanted it to be finished. I tried to remind them that I had ‘grumpy gratitude.
I was still grateful, and still honored — I grew up watching Burgess Meredith [in the ‘60s Batman TV series], and then Danny DeVito [in 1992’s Batman Returns] was my Penguin — so being a part of the lineage of that storytelling, I really did feel privileged. But by the end of it…” Farrell with Total Film
That said if they could fix he would be on board. But how they go about doing that has not been made clear. If it
