Could Robert Pattinson’s version of Batman make an unexpected cameo in The Penguin series? Despite earlier statements suggesting his absence, eagle-eyed fans have noticed a recognizable motorbike featured prominently in the midseason trailer for the spinoff.
So, what has Pattinson’s Dark Knight been up to since the events unfolded in The Batman? In The Penguin, Gotham City continues to reel from the aftermath of the Riddler’s chaos. Emergency shelters are being erected throughout the city, providing basic necessities and refuge for victims of the flood that devastated their homes.
So far, the Bat-Signal hasn’t shone in the Gotham sky, indicating that Batman might be preoccupied with other threats (potentially hinting at the villains set to appear in The Batman Part 2), taking a much-needed break, or perhaps completely unaware of Oz Cobb’s illicit activities.
With Episode 5 of The Penguin premiering this weekend, HBO recently unveiled a midseason trailer that hints at exciting developments ahead. The brief glimpse of the motorcycle has certainly stirred excitement among fans.
Is Batman featured in The Penguin trailer?
Matt Reeves and series showrunner Lauren LeFranc have confirmed that Batman is not part of The Penguin, and that the motorcycle serves only as a nod to Bruce Wayne’s ride.
It’s understandable why fans are eager to see Batman again. It’s been over two years since the release of Pattinson’s film, and the sequel won’t be in theaters until October 2, 2026—resulting in a lengthy four-year wait.
“Wow! Starting the trailer off with a bike shows they know how to tease the audience,” remarked one fan. “Could that be Bruce on the bike?” another speculated. When others dismissed the notion, one user countered, “How can you be sure it’s not? It’s even featured in an underground tunnel, just like in The Batman.”

“The individual on the motorcycle could either be Bruce Wayne or someone else entirely,” another fan observed, alluding to the possibility of Zoë Kravitz making an appearance as Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman. This theory seems plausible, especially since Kyle previously served as a waitress at Oz’s Iceberg Lounge.
“Does anyone else believe the motorcyclist could be Selina?” one user inquired, while another added: “Honestly, when I spotted the rider, I thought Catwoman was returning to Gotham.”
Whether or not Kravitz’s Catwoman will join the narrative in the upcoming episodes remains uncertain, but it’s clear that Robert Pattinson’s Batman will not be featured in The Penguin.
