Narrative
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.. 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.
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 Graham Norton in gusti: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024).
So, the first episode is done and it was excellent
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. His attitude, body language, voice all make you submerge into the character and only see Penguin.
This 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 Taylors Penguin in the CW's Gotham. The Penguin is a middle man in a mob organization.
Highly entertaining and highly 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.
