the Penguin, makes a play to seize the reins of the crime world in Gotham
Line of Events
Following the events of The Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, a.k.a. 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 tries to answer: Where the heck was Batman?. Colin Farrell fought hard to have his version of The Penguin smoke tobacco in The Batman (2022) but was unsuccessful.
The DC Studios logo is set in a raining Gotham alley
For his own series however, the character is depicted as an occasional tobacco user, with a preference for cigars.. An umbrella drops and the logo changes to the Warner Bros logo.. Featured in The Graham Norton Show: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024).
I’ve never seen Farell so invested in a character
So, the first episode is done and it was excellent. I mean yes, he’s wearing a fat suit but you’d never know it. His attitude, body language, voice all make you submerge into the character and only see Penguin.
This is a New York mobster, a wise guy
It has no relation to any of the other live TV penguins, Burgess Meredith or Robin Lord Taylor. He’s a Scorsese mobster but without the florid language.The plot is simple, similar to Lord Taylor’s Penguin in the CW’s Gotham. The Penguin is a middle man in a mob organization.
Highly entertaining and very much recommended
Up until now he’s been doing his time, slowly moving up in the mob and then, with the effects of the Riddler blowing up the city sea wall and the death of his boss in that movie, he sees a chance to move up in the world. Now begins the game of cross, double cross and, I suppose, triple cross.
