Following the events of The Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, aka
the Penguin, makes a play to seize the reins of the crime world in Gotham.. 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?.
The DC Studios logo is set in a raining Gotham alley
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.. An umbrella drops and the logo changes to the Warner Bros logo..
So, the first episode is done and it was excellent
Featured in Graham Norton likes: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024). I've never seen Farell so invested in a character. I mean yes, he's wearing a fat suit but you'd never know it.
This is a New York mobster, a wise guy
His attitude, body language, voice all make you submerge into the character and only see Penguin. 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 Taylors Penguin in the CW's Gotham.
Highly entertaining and very much recommended
The Penguin is a middle man in a mob organization. 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.
