Plot
Following the events of The Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, also known as the Penguin, attempts to take over the criminal underworld in Gotham City. From melting makeup to filming in freezing temperatures, Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti share how they got into character during the production of “The Penguin.” Colin Farrell fought hard to get his version of the Penguin to smoke tobacco in The Batman (2022), but he didn’t succeed. However, for his own series, the character is depicted as a casual tobacco user, with a preference for cigars.

Appears in Graham Norton i gosti: 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 why they took a skinny, handsome actor and put a huge prosthetic and a big suit on him… especially when I think he looks like other famous actors that would have been just as good too.
But I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did
I also didn’t understand why this spin-off was made and to be honest, I’m sick of Batman reboots. But after episode 1 I will confirm that this series is amazing (so far). I only watched it because it was a necessary bridge between the first and second movies, and my surprise to see Farrell in the role of the first.
The acting is excellent, the writing is superb and it surprised me with some quick twists
What I liked most was the fact that there was a lot more color in this movie than in Batman. I noticed this almost immediately, as it was one of my biggest complaints about the movie (it felt like I was watching it through a Zack Snyder lens). I hope it continues to be as good as it was before because I’m really looking forward to the next installment.
