Trailer for the third season of Pennyworth has a truly confounding comic book cameo
Sorry, not Pennyworth, we mean Pennyworth: The Origin Of Batman's Butler
Even compared to the occasionally ludicrous Gotham, HBO Max’s Pennyworth: The Origin Of Batman’s Butler (formerly just Pennyworth when it was on Epix) just might be the weirdest superhero-related show of all time. The first season presented itself like a roit propah Guy Ritchie croime drawmah that just happened to be a Batman’s butler as a young man, even though portions of it were deeply, deeply zany (this writer astutely pointed out that it was like a comic book, just not one that had anything to do with Batman).
The far more entertaining second season jacked the zaniness up by significant margin by introducing a civil war in England between two secret societies that eventually exploded into full-on tanks roaming the streets of London. Also, Alfred’s side won the war with the help of a super-powered laser man and his friends Martha and Thomas Wayne (you know them!) had… a baby girl. (Batman fans will recall that Bruce Wayne is traditionally an only child, which is why the loss of his parents fucks him up so thoroughly.)
