There is a very clear logic to @mattsontomlin and @mattreevesLA (AKA the Matt Daddies) way of adapting Batman to film. Understanding their thought process helps us better theorize what they will do in the future as they introduce more Batman lore.

They seem take the core "comic accurate" component of the character, and then look for real life inspirations to base their interpretations on. Let's look at some examples of how this is done in #TheBatman's rogues gallery...
Penguin Trait: Mobster with a lowly beginning, who rises to incredible power

IRL Inspiration: Al Capone
Both rose from body guard of a mafia leader, to the most notorious gangster of their time.
[also, Al (Scarface) & Oz (Penguin) both have nicknames based on their appearance]

Penguin Trait: Bird like features

Beyond @ProRenFX 's amazing prosthetics that include a beakish nose and fat suit, this Penguin also has an orthopedic leg brace that gives a realistic explanation for his penguin-like waddle.

Riddler Trait: Leaves puzzles behind to mess with, test, and taunt investigators

Inspiration: While this is common trait among MANY famous serial killers, the most obvious case of this kind is the Zodiac. Zodiac is a DIRECT inspiration for this version of Riddler.

Riddler Trait: Using bombs to force people to do as you demand.

Inspiration: The Brian Wells story https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Brian_Wells https://twitter.com/BigBatTheory/status/1317954984751722496
Another classic Riddler trait is a weaponized question mark cane. It would be interesting to see them adapt the homemade gun cane Brian Wells used in the bank heists. Although it might be a bit too impractical for this Riddler.

Catwoman at her core is a costumed thief, so seeing her fancy cowl replaced with the most classic of burglar fashion, the balaclava, is a simple and smart way to ground her costume.
