Line of Events
Following the events of Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, aka The Penguin, attempts to take over Gotham’s criminal underworld. Aside from the bat symbol in the final shot of the season finale, we’ve never had a 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 The Penguin to smoke in Batman (2022), but to no avail. However, in his own series, the character is depicted as a casual smoker, preferring cigars.
Farrell STEALS this series
An umbrella falls and the emblem transforms into the Warner Bros. logo. With Graham Norton in movies: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024). Awesome.
There’s nothing cartoonish about it
There’s nothing about the character that makes you think of Farrell. The New York accent, the sway and limp, the attitude – you’ll swear he’s a different person. The amazing prosthetics are very realistic and add to the character. The show is raw and graphic.
Well written and tight
It’s a great match for Christopher Nolan’s Batman. In fact, I’d say it blows the Marvel line out of the water. I hope there’s a season 2, but I know it’s limited. Damn.
