The Penguin activation in question aims to put guests into the world of Colin Ferrell-led series by recreating the Iceberg Lounge. This Oswald Cobblepot-owned nightclub was seen in The Batman and was a front for his criminal activities.

The Penguin, which is set to one week after The Batman and leads into the events of The Batman 2, is also set to have a big panel at SDCC on Saturday, July 27, that will feature Farrell, Cristin Milioti (Sofia Falcone), Rhenzy Feliz (Victor Aguilar), Matt Reeves (EP), Lauren LeFranc (showrunner/EP), and Dylan Clark (EP).
