When I first heard that there would be a series on HBO Max spinning out of The Batman and featuring Colin Farrel's Penguin, I kind of scratched my head. The Penguin didn't seem like a character that warranted his own show and didn't we just already watch the villain's rise to power in Gotham? Then I saw the movie, and was really taken by his performance. I wanted more, and this series will certainly provide that - now I can't wait for it to come out.

Hmmm! I can't imagine Doc Ock working for the Good Guys. Unless, of course, he's trying to prove himself a superior crime-fighter to both Batman and Spidey.
The Penguin, on the other hand, could be working undercover for the Suicide Squad. Either that, or he's a refugee from the DCU's Earth 3.
Only a sequel cover will answer these questions for sure. ;-D
I'm on the other side from Cary. Reading Exiles, I noted through the team's travels that every Otto Octavius they met was on the good guys' side, and even the "Superior Spider-Man" phase for the 616 version showed that he had the capacity to be heroic (even if, in that case, his motivation was skewed), not to mention that Alfred Molina's Doc Ock was certainly heroic at heart.
Now, it might be interesting to see two well-known agents of chaos -- Green Goblin and the Joker -- be recruited to become agents of KAOS.
I love Bob's idea. If only because that might give Maxwell Smart the opportunity to work alongside the original Avengers. John Steed and Mrs. Peel!
I second Anon1203's motion. :-)
A penguin and an octopus. Shouldn’t they be fighting Aquaman and Namor? LOL
Now I picture Alfred Molina trying to match wits with Burgess Meredith.
I remember when the Penguin used exploding octopuses as a weapon against the Dynamic Duo...
:D
@Simreeve: an octopus was also the logo for the United Underworld of GothanmCity.
Wouldn't it be something if Batman'66 met The Spirit (of Will Eisner fame) to take on The Octopus?
@Cary: Well, Batman: The Animated Series did have a one-off street-level criminal known as Sid the Squid. I expect Ross could figure out something cool to do with the character if he was so inclined.
As one-off villains from that show go, though, I'm most partial to the Condiment King, who seems like he'd fit in quite well going against The Tick.

He did, in a one-off special that DC published. Darwyn Cooke artwork. Very enjoyable.
@Simreeve: I was thinking more along the lines of a movie ad using photo-captures of Adam West, Gabriel Macht, and Samuel L. Jackson.
Sid The Squid was a takeoff of a low level mob boss who Killer Croc infiltrated and took over once he took over a majority of the underworld operations in Gotham back in 1983. I believe Batman#357 and Detective Comics#524 are his only two covers before Waylon killed him.
In other words; a croc of calamari? ;-)
It looks like a Doc Ock vs. Sid the Squid cover might be possible, of Ross feels so inclined. (It could even be possible to sneak in a Suicide Squid "Easter egg"!)
Sid the Squid from "Batman '92" is all right. But, I'd prefer the Doc Ock from the 1967 Spidey cartoon trying to capture him in order to exploit his jinx-like clumsy streak against the wall-crawler!
