Except for the bat signal in the final shot of "The Penguin," we never got our Robert Pattinson Batman cameo in 8 episodes charting Oz Cobb's brutal rise from mafia chauffeur to Gotham City crime boss. In this short explainer, IMDb tries to answer: Where the heck was Batman? And what can we expect from director Matt Reeves's 'The Batman: Part II' (2026).

Trivia
Several posters and graffiti can be seen on the side of the street while Vic tries to convince the gangs to help. This notably includes a banner for the Gotham Renewal Corporation, the major Gotham fund that was used by Carmine Falcone and corrupt city officials before The Riddler exposed the truth as seen in 2022's The Batman. To that end, Riddler's question marks can also be seen on the walls amid old campaign posters for Don Mitchell Jr. Posters protesting against the police are featured as well with the slogan, "Protect and Abuse?", confirming the corrupt nature of the GCPD, and that good officers like Jim Gordon are currently the exception, rather than the rule.

Goofs
Spirits such as whiskey or vodka do not ignite if they come into contact with lit cigarettes as shown. They need to be heated to about 70º C first to become easily flammable.

Quotes
Oz Cobb: You're going to hell, sweetheart.
Sofia Falcone: I'll save you a seat.

GOTHAM'S YOURS OR IS IT?

This episode picks up pace right from the first minute. Most shows don't know how to do a flashback scene properly but the penguin nailed it and because of this the character development is just so fascinating to watch. I don't think any episode has missed a beat or gone out of the plot...every episode is a banger and the finale is just SO PERFECT. The final shots tells us what to expect from the Batman 2 without saying anything. This show should be taught in film schools for writing a villain. The penguin is so exciting to watch he has no morals, he doesn't care for anyone and that's his greatest strength. This episode sets up the next Batman movie perfectly and I AM EXCITED!!!
