Line of Events
Following the events of The Batman (2022), Oz Cobb aka the Penguin attempts to take over the criminal underworld in Gotham. Except for the Bat-Signal in the final shot of the season finale, we never got our Robert Pattinson cameo in “The Penguin.” In this short video, IMDb attempts to answer: Where the hell was Batman? Colin Farrell fought hard to get his version of The Penguin to smoke tobacco in The Batman (2022), but was unsuccessful. However, for his own series, the character is depicted as a casual tobacco user, with a preference for cigars.
It’s awesome
An umbrella falls over and the logo changes to the Warner Bros. logo. Featured on The Graham Norton Show: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024). Farrell STEALS this series.
There’s nothing cartoonish about it
There’s nothing about the character that even suggests Farrell exists. The New York dialect, the sway and limp, the attitude – you’d swear he was someone else. The amazing prosthetics are very realistic and add to the character. The show is raw and graphic.
It’s a shame
It’s well-written and tense. This makes it a great complement to Christopher Nolan’s Batman. In fact, I’d say it goes way beyond the Marvel line. I hope there’s a second season, but I know it’s limited.
