'The Penguin' Is Missing One Crucial Thing That Made 'The Batman' Great
Briefly

While The Penguin does a commendable job connecting to The Batman's narrative, it lacks the cinematic depth and polish that made the film so striking.
Despite its roots in prestige TV, The Penguin struggles to meet the high visual standards set by The Batman, feeling more like a TV episode than a film.
The storytelling in The Penguin provides an engaging crime narrative, but doesn’t fully capture the immersive, cinematic quality that fans expected after watching The Batman.
In the end, The Penguin's effective characterization and continuation of themes from The Batman may appeal to fans, even if its production looks a tad too television-like.
