Following the events of The Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, aka

From melting makeup to shooting in freezing temperatures, Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti talk about how they got into character during production on "The Penguin.". Colin Farrell fought hard to have his version of The Penguin Smoke Tobacco in The Batman (2022) but was unsuccessful. For his own series however, the character is depicted as an occasional tobacco user, with a preference for cigars..

The Penguin is just terrific

The DC Studios logo is set in a raining Gotham alley. Featured in Graham Norton in genres: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024). Wow.

The biggest surprise was Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone

Everyone knows what a great actor Colin Farrell is but he's unrecognizable here as The Penguin. I wouldn't be surprised to see him nominated for some awards for his role in this. I wasn't too sure when I heard she was named actress for this role, she's a good actress but I didn't think this role was for her.

I was wrong

She's as good as Farrell is in this and makes you believe Sofia Falcone is a true rival to The Penguin. I also wouldn't be surprised to see her nominated for some awards for her role in this. This isn't your typical DC or Marvel show, it's a full on gangster series.

This is how you do it DC

This series takes place in the underworld of a now semi destroyed Gotham City and is a great follow up to Matt Reeves' The Batman. See our rundown of "Yellowstone" Season 5, Part 2, "Squid Game" Season 2, and more of the most anticipated new and returning series coming to TV and streaming.
