Colin Farrell fought hard to have his version of The Penguin Smoke Tobacco in The Batman (2022), but was unsuccessful
Narrative
Following the events of The Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, aka The Penguin, makes a move to take over Gotham’s criminal underworld. Except for the Bat-Signal in the final scene 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? For his own series, however, the character is portrayed as an occasional tobacco user, with a preference for cigars.
Farrell STEALS this series
The DC Studios logo is set in a rainy Gotham alley. Featured in Graham Norton in the genres: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024). He’s stunning.
There’s nothing cartoonish about it
There’s nothing about the character that even hints at Farrell. The New York dialect, the sway and limp, the attitude: you’d swear it was someone else. The incredible prosthetics are so realistic and add to the character.
Well-written and tense
This is a great counterpart to Christopher Nolan’s Batman. In fact, I’d say it blows Marvel’s line out of the water. It’s a shame.
HBO has a legitimate hit on its hands
