HBO MAX: ‘PENNYWORTH’ SEASON 3 GETS A TRAILER & NAME CHANGE
HBO MAX: As this is yet another Batman show without Batman, Pennyworth really hasn’t been on my radar. But I’ve heard good things and I might try to catch up on this before season 3 drops in October… Remember that GOTHAM on FX took place when Bruce Wayne was a kid, and featured James Gordon. And In BATWOMAN on the CW, Batman had gone missing and was presumed dead. And now, in the upcoming new CW show GOTHAM KNIGHTS, Batman has straight up been murdered. (The trailer for this show looks awful. Maybe they should have called it GOTHAM 90210) But I digress, now about Pennyworth…
“Pennyworth is now officially retitled Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler for its third season, as revealed in this exclusive official trailer. The DC origin series Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler follows Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon), a former British SAS soldier, who forms a security company in 1960s London and goes to work with young billionaire Thomas Wayne (Ben Aldridge) and his wife Martha (Emma Paetz), before they become Bruce Wayne’s parents.
Season three of the psychological thriller begins after a five-year time jump: the civil war is over, and a cultural revolution has changed the world for better or worse – ushering in a new age of Super Heroes and Supervillains. Season three of the hit DC series, Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler, from Warner Bros. Television, debuts this October on HBO Max as a Max Original.”
