The first footage of the series has a dark Sopranos feel to it with Farrell playing a crime boss. “You step out of line even once, I’ll gut you like a goddamn fish,”
In a voice over The Penguin says “You ask yourself, what kind of life do I want? The world isn’t built for guys like us; that’s why we have to take what’s ours.”
The new Max Original Series and the next chapter in “The Batman” saga is now in production and will debut in 2024.
