Ever wish you could watch a prequel TV series focused on the most compelling figure in Batman mythos?

Wish no more! Pennyworth is coming!!!

I'm kinda excited for this Alfred is legit one of the best characters in the Batfamily and I can't wait to see his history with SAS

*TurtleTitan97* · 05-16-2018, 12:22 PM

Meh. Not all that interested.

*CyberCubed* · 05-16-2018, 12:31 PM

So first there was Smallville, then Gotham, then Krypton and now Pennyworth? Is there anything I'm missing?

Remember when Sony wanted an Aunt May spinoff?

It baffles me that executives decide to do these dumb self-limiting prequels instead of going balls-out and giving us a full Batman or Bat-sidekick (Robin, Nightwing, et al) show. Or a Superman show... hell, they've got the guy from Supergirl already!

I'm still disappointed we never got The Graysons. Because it would have been so, so bad it'd have been legendary.

This might do, though.

I kind of love this based entirely on the fact that it's the punch line of a joke in the new Teen Titans Go! movie.

*TigerClaw* · 05-16-2018, 01:31 PM

Looks like you beat me to it.

Pitbull
Ever wonder how Perry White became the editor and cheif of the Daily Planet? This series covers the rise of Perry "The Pitbull" White as he chases the truth and takes on all opposition.

Dent
Watch Harvey Dent make his way through the trials and tribulations of Gotham Law School in this Batman prequel to one of the Batman's most iconic foes!

Skeets
Built as a security robot for the Space Museum, Skeets chronicals the night shifts in protective Earth's most valuable properties. Things take a turn when a new janitor, Michael Carter (DC fan favourite future Booster Gold) arrives, and a budding new friendship begins.

Oh geez. Now you've done it. Dent will start filming January 2019, you monster. YOU GAVE THEM AN IDEA!!!

As Alfred was a secret spy/agent for the queen hopefully there'll be a ton of James Bond references.

I've never even heard of this Epix network before....
