Penguin starts filming June 15 in Los Angeles.

From Production List RebelYasha (talk) 22:48, 28 April 2022 (UTC).

FYI @RebelYasha, be careful using Production List, as they rarely go back to update the postings to say if something ended up happening or not. Good for a frame of reference, but if production postponed or cancelled, you'd never know it. -2pou (talk) 22:55, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Will keep that in mind. Just thought it was worth noting considering sources like these are usually as close to legitimate as possible and there's nothing to really distrust about them. I'll update if anything actually changes though RebelYasha (talk) 23:07, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

I've removed the source because it was Production List for reasons similar to what 2pou noted. It's likely something to keep in the back of our minds to look out for more confirmation, but we shouldn't put it in the draft. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:10, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Title

Per this tweet from DC, The Penguin appears to be the working title, which may not be the same as the final title. Should we move this draft back? InfiniteNexus (talk) 20:28, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

It shouldn't need to be moved back, as per the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever article, we knew in 2019 that the original title Black Panther II was a working title but it was kept as the page title until the official one was announced. It could be used as the series' title or it may change, but for now, it is suitable to be used. Trailblazer101 (talk) 20:57, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

There is a difference between production working titles that are definitely not the title of the project, in which case we would not want to use it for the article's title, and development working titles where they have not confirmed what they want to call it yet but this is how it is being referred to. I felt this was the latter situation in which case it is fine as a temporary/common name, same case as Black Panther II as Trailblazer pointed out. - adamstom97 (talk) 03:13, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

And now we have two working titles, so I have no idea what to do with the lead. InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:36, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

The Boss working title is just what they use during filming to disguise what the project actually is. That one is used commonly and never refers to the actual title. The working title of The Penguin is just a temp title for what they actually call the series until they decide on a more official title. I was thinking the lede could use "tentative title" instead, as that is the same case, though all of the press releases have simply said The Penguin (wt). Trailblazer101 (talk) 22:34, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

FWIW, the crew member who posted about the first day of filming did call it "The Penguin", so it's obviously be referred to as such by the creatives (just to point out that it wasn't WBD brass calling it that). But yes, we're featuring both definitions of "working title" here: one that is a tentative title, and another that's commonly created as a ruse/distractions for (on location) filming purposes. We could use "tentative title" in the lead like Trail suggested. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:33, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
