At the end of The Batman, The Riddler was committed to Arkham and most of Gotham was flooded after the retaining walls around the city were blown up. The new limited series The Penguin takes place about a week after the events of that film,

Fox's Gotham TV series found another interesting way to handle this. Oswald's mother was Gertrud Kapelput, with Kapelput being a similarly fictional Hungarian name but adding on the idea that his family's name changed over the years to better fit their life in America.

HBO Original limited series The Penguin picks up where Matt Reeves left off with The Batman. Colin Farrell stars in the crime drama as Oswald “Oz” Cobb, otherwise known as the Penguin, alongside Cristin Milioti and Rhenzy Feliz.
