Farrell recently confirmed to Extra that the show picks up about a week after the events of “The Batman,” in which Riddler sent a massive flood into Gotham City. “It starts about a week after ‘The Batman’ ends,” Farrell said. “So, Gotham is still, somewhat, underwater.

In the finale, while locked away in Arkham, Sofia receives a letter sent by Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz), her half-sister. It’s a small moment in the series that has a large cinematic impact on the upcoming The Batman Part II.
