	Media	Author	Review
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"The overarching story here, about an evil society of villains, feels as undercooked as the aesthetics seem pleasant and impressive"
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Highly entertaining, clever and engaging (...) There's something very compelling about 'Pennyworth' as a comic adaptation that's allowed to be more noirish and cultish than cartoonish"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"'Pennyworth' establishes an admirable long-game and introduces a number of characters you’ll grow attached to quite quickly. Bannon is a talented lead"
		Merrill Barr Forbes	"[It] isn’t the absolute failure one might expect (...) In the end, there’s no reason to not recommend 'Pennyworth'… but there’s really no reason to do so either."
		David Griffin IGN	"A fantastic new edition to the Batman mythology (...) The alternate 1960s London backdrop adds to show's unique look, setting it apart from many of the comic book show we've seen on network TV."
		Gavia Baker-Whitelaw The Daily Dot	"'Pennyworth' genuinely rules! The script is deliciously snappy, the faux-historical setting is Arkham Asylum-level bonkers, and a sincere, likeable protagonist tempers the show’s edgier elements (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Sam Barsanti AV Club	"[It] can’t decide if it wants to tell a Batman story or if it wants to tell a completely original story"
