Matthew George "Matt" Reeves (born April 27, 1966 in Rockville Center, New York, USA) is an American screenwriter, director, and producer. He began making movies at age eight, directing friends and using a wind-up camera. Reeves befriended filmmaker J.J. Abrams when both were 13 years old and they were making short films together. When Reeves and Abrams were 15 or 16 years old, Steven Spielberg hired them to transfer some of his own Super 8 films to videotape. Reeves began his career as a screenwriter for the films Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995) and The Pallbearer (1996), the latter of which marked his feature-length directorial debut. He then transitioned into television as a director and co-creator of the drama series Felicity (1998–2002) alongside J.J. Abrams. Reeves has since directed the horror film Cloverfield (2008), the romantic horror film Let Me In (2010), and the science fiction sequels Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) and War for the Planet of the Apes (2017). In February 2017, Warner Bros. announced that Reeves would direct The Batman (2022) by DC, starring Robert Pattinson.

We open on a shot of Metropolis and then a shot of Gotham. The camera goes through the different cities including Jump City, Central City, and Smallville. We cut to the darkest corner of Gotham as robbers get in a car and drive away with three hostages. They pull into the back lot of the Iceberg Lounge as the Penguin comes out of the backdoor. The three hostages are revealed to be Penguin's old goons who tried to rat him out to the cops. The penguin tells them that they will die one by one until he finds out which one of them had the idea to work for the GCPD. As the Penguin does his thing we see a shadow roaming in the background. The shadow jumps onto the roof of the lounge and onto the wall. The Penguin looks up and it looks like the fear of God came to him in that moment. The Penguin tries to get in the car but the shadow lands on top of it. Penguin looks up as the shadow lifts its head and quietly says run. We watch as what is revealed to be Batman takes Penguin and his men down. Later on we see commissioner Jim Gordon and a couple of cops find the goons tied up but not Penguin. The episode ends with Batman talking with the Penguin about him having to stay around because if he doesn't someone worse will.
