The other movie was pretty well received, I think people would be interested in more world building

I wasn't a big fan of the Patman movies, but I'll echo what I said before that I like that other people enjoy it and think that's great.

That being said, I didn't get the Penguin in the movie. It seemed like Batman just beat him up a lot and was wrong about why. I kinda felt bad for him.

I feel like the writers were trying to figure out who would be on the realistic end of villains and decided that the Penguin could be changed to be a mob boss.

Also, the Penguin was a mob boss. Batman best the Penguin up, but the Penguin deserved to be behind bars.

Yes

Now that crime dramas that are set in a superhero universe are a thing, they should re-release all of Peaky Blinders but with dubbed in dialogue that references Captain Britain and his family, but you still never actually see Captain Britain.
