One of the very few things that DC has going for it on the cinematic tip is the villains that people can’t seem to get enough of.

From the new upcoming Joker sequel to the HBO Max Batman spinoff series, The Penguin , DC has a lot riding on these projects until James Gunn officially reboots the DCU with his highly anticipated Superman: Legacy film. Yesterday, a new trailer was released for the upcoming Penguin series and from the looks of it, it’s going to be one helluva Sopranos -sh affair.

Centered around Oswald Cobblepot’s ascension to the crime boss of Gotham City, the series takes place following the events of 2022’s The Batman, which saw Gotham City’s criminal underworld experiencing a power vacuum with the death of Carmine Falcone. Now that there’s no actual crime lord left to run the streets of Gotham City, The Penguin (Colin Farrell) is looking to place his stamp on the city and take that position for himself by any means necessary.

With the “support” of his mother who tells him she deserves a “better life,” Oz Cobb stabs, shoots and kills his way to the top as Batman is nowhere to be seen. Unfortunately for him though, Carmine’s daughter, Sofia, has been set free from Arkham Asylum and seems to have some skin in the game as to who will be taking over her daddy’s day-to-day operation.

This seems hella good. Can’t front.

Check out the latest trailer for The Penguin below, and let us know if you’ll be catching it when it premiers on HBO Max on Sept. 19.
