To say that DCStudios , ShowrunnerLauren LeFranc , and EPsMatt ReevesandDylan Clark’sColin FarrellandCristin Milioti - starringThe Penguinwas one of the breakouts serial of the year would be a dramatic understatement . But what about the prospect of a second time of year ? The finale serve well as the perfect setup for Reeves ’s upcomingThe Batman II(more on that in a moment ) , but what about beyond that ? antecedently , Reeves shared that there have been conversation about expound " The Batman Epic Crime Saga " with additional limited series – though nothing specific regarding a second series go - around for Oz ( Farrell ) and Sofia ( Milioti ) . Farrell has gone on the record saying that he would emphatically consider a return if there was " a great idea [ for time of year two ] , and the authorship was really muscular and as strong or stronger on the Sir Frederick Handley Page than it was the firstseason . "
Well , it look like there are some conversations being hadabout a second season after all . During an episode of Variety ’s " Directors on Directors,“Zoë Kravitz(Blink Twice ) and Reeves had a luck to talk over their directing experiences , their time figure out together onThe Batman , and what each ofthem has come up .

These characters do n’t belong to me ; they belong to to the world . It comes down to whether you could approach them in a room that expresses something personal . "
The Penguin: How HBO’s Spinoff Series Set Up The Batman II
At the end of " A Great of Little Thing , we see Oz and Eve ( Carmen Ejogo ) keep Oz ’s fresh position – but it ’s one that came with a terrible price for a quite a little of folk music . For Sofia , it was a fortune worse than death : apprehend and returned to Arkham State Hospital . But when Oz heads over to see his mom with Vic ( Rhenzy Feliz ) to share the good newsworthiness – and to essay her favourable reception – he watch that Francis Francis ( Deirdre O’Connell ) suffered a major cerebrovascular accident , go forth her in a vegetative DoS but with her eyes open . believe that family make him weak after a heart - to - heart with Vic , Oz murders his proper - hand valet , make the criminal offence look like a slaying before walking off ( with a whole net ton of symbolisation in that scene where Oz tosses Vic ’s ID into the river ) .
But some very interesting threads remain . Though back in Arkham , Sofia appear to be under the care of a returned Dr. Rush ( Theo Rossi ) , who shares with Sofia a letter of the alphabet from her half - baby – Selina Kyle ( Kravitz ’s Catwoman inThe Batman ) , who ’s look to plug into . Meanwhile , with his female parent being cared for in his individual residence on another trading floor , Oz plays out some serious mommy issues while dancing with Eve ( even having her dress like his female parent ) , speaking to her and require her to speak to him like he wanted Francis to – that she be intimate him and is proud of him . But just when Oz is at his moment confident , a very familiar Bat Signal lights up the sky . It see like someone has caught the attention ofRobert Pattinson ’s Batman .
" That ’s something that we figured out early on . It felt like an elegant handoff to the movie , " LeFranc shared withDeadline Hollywood . " That was always a conversation that Matt Reeves and I had . Should Batman be in our show or not ? I recognize it became sort of a controversial thing to say that he should n’t , but it really just experience like it was detract from our characters . Batman takes up a lot of space . So , in that regard , it just did n’t find appropriate for the fictional character in our show . If Oz has now achieved a stratum of might where Batman is noticing him , that ’s really what we wanted to signify in the death . "
