Sky has nabbed The Penguin, the Batman spin-off drama series starring Colin Farrell. The show continues the gritty Gotham City crime saga which filmmaker Matt Reeves began with his blockbuster Bat movie, which introduced Robert Pattinson as the caped crusader.

To help avoid super villain sized spoilers, UK Batfans will be able to join in on the global hype, with each episode airing at the same time as the US each week and on demand shortly after.
