Rumor: Penguin Dropped From Birds of Prey, But May Appear in The Batman

New rumors have surfaced suggesting Oswald Cobblepot, aka the Penguin, won’t be involved in Birds of Prey after all. Instead, it’s believed Warner Bros. will focus on utilizing the villain in Matt Reeves’ Batman solo flick as originally planned.

Past chatter suggested Penguin would appear in one of the films, but with Birds of Prey’s rumor mill of who’s in and who’s out in constant motion, Cobblepot’s purported axing from the script via The Wrap’s Umberto Gonzalez should also be taken with a grain of salt, especially as he was never confirmed in the first place.

DC NUGGET: The villain in BIRDS OF PREY was originally THE PENGUIN, but that is no longer the case. Gee, I wonder what other DC movie Oswald Cobblepot can be the bad guy in?
