The Penguin Set for SDCC Hall H Panel; Gaslamp Quarter Goes Gotham

Along with a Hall H panel, Colin Farrell-starring HBO Original series The Penguin has some big plans in play for San Diego Comic-Con 2024.

Set within filmmaker Matt Reeves' "The Batman" universe, HBO and DC Studios' Colin Farrell-starring The Penguin is set to hit screens this September – and it's set to make a pretty big impact on San Diego Comic-Con later this month, turning the legendary Gaslamp Quarter into Gotham for the four-day pop culture extravaganza. Starring in "The Batman" spinoff series are Farrell (Oz Cobb, aka "The Penguin"), Cristin Milioti (Sofia Falcone), Rhenzy Feliz (Victor Aguilar), Michael Kelly (Johnny Viti), Shohreh Aghdashloo (Nadia Maroni), Deirdre O'Connell (Francis Cobb), Clancy Brown (Salvatore Maroni), James Madio (Milos Grapa), Scott Cohen (Luca Falcone), Michael Zegen (Alberto Falcone), Carmen Ejogo (Eve Karlo), Theo Rossi (Dr. Julian Rush). Now, here's everything you need to know about what's going down – with "The Penguin Panel" bringing some very big names to Hall H on Saturday, July 27th.

Here's a look at what HBO Original series The Penguin has in store for this year's San Diego Comic-Con 2024 – and huge thanks to the folks over at Warner Bros. Discovery media & public relations for getting the word out:

• On Friday, July 26 & Saturday, July 27, Max, in partnership with Giant Spoon, will transform the Bloom Nightclub into Gotham's famed Iceberg Lounge. Upon arrival at "The Iceberg Lounge" Experience, guests will enter the "Iceberg Descent," created in partnership with BUCK and VT Pro Design, an immersive experience filled with special effects, haptic technology, interactivity, and exclusive content displayed on Samsung big screen TVs. This multi-sensorial, subterranean descent drops users into Gotham's notorious Iceberg Lounge lobby to navigate through the wreckage left by The Riddler at the end of The Batman (2022) film to reach the party deeper within.
• Fans will party with Oz's crew by venturing through the dark corners of the club for a chance to be inducted into the Penguin's inner circle… if they dare. This multi-room experience offers complimentary drinks, live DJ sets, exclusive giveaways, including a Jefferson's Bourbon tasting, and photo opportunities, including Oz's iconic purple Maserati — giving partygoers an unprecedented glimpse into Gotham's criminal underworld. By exploring the main club, guests can discover a password that will give them access to the inner sanctum, 44 Below, the club within the club, diving deeper into the world of THE PENGUIN.
• Max is providing 21+ adult fans with three ways to get a chance to receive an invitation to "The Iceberg Lounge" from today through Saturday, July 27:
