In the series “The Penguin” on HBO, similar to how its origin film “The Batman” did, it demonstrates to viewers that classic villains can flourish in a realistic crime drama setting. While some iconic Batman villains and aspects wouldn’t fit this narrative (yet would be exciting additions to James Gunn’s DCU), there are numerous Bat-villains from the DC Comics that could shine in Matt Reeves’ dark and grimy portrayal of Gotham City.
