On Wednesday, HBO Max dropped the Season 3 trailer for Pennyworth but also added a twist when they also revealed a change to the series’ title. Now the series, which originally aired on EPIX but is making the move to HBO Max for the upcoming season, is titled Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler. The general assumption behind the reason for the name change is to drive a bit more interest to the series — after all, Batman is kind of a big deal — but that hasn’t stopped people from absolutely roasting the name choice online.
