took shape during the production of the film “The Penguin”
Chronology
Following the events of The Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, aka The Penguin, makes a move to take control of Gotham’s criminal underworld. Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti talk about what it’s like in the underworld. Colin Farrell fought hard to make his version of the Penguin smoke in The Batman (2022), but it didn’t work out.

However, in his own series, the character is portrayed as an occasional smoker who prefers cigars. The umbrella falls and the logo changes to the Warner Bros. logo.
which would have been so great too
Featuring Graham Norton and the following: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024). I thought Colin Farrell was great as the Penguin in Batman, but I never understood taking a skinny, handsome actor and putting him in huge prosthetics and a thick suit… especially when I think he looks like other famous actors.
But I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much
I also didn’t understand why this spinoff was coming and to be honest, I’m tired of the Batman reboot. But after episode 1, I can confirm that this show is amazing (so far). I watched it knowing that the bridge between the first and second movies was a must-see and to my surprise, I enjoyed Farrell’s performance in the first one.
I hope it continues to be as good because I can’t wait for the next episode
The acting is great, the writing is great and it surprised me with the quick twists and turns. The biggest thing I liked was that there was a lot more color in this than in Batman. I noticed this almost immediately because it was a big complaint for me about the movie (it felt like watching it through Zack Snyder’s lens).
