Narrative
Following the events of Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, aka the Penguin, stages a play to seize the reins of Gotham’s crime world. From the melting makeup to the freezing filming, Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti talk about how he developed his character during the production of “The Penguin.” Colin Farrell fought hard to make The Penguin smoke in Batman (2022), but was unsuccessful. In his own series, however, the character is depicted as a casual smoker, preferring to smoke a cigar.
Farrell STOLE this series
An umbrella falls and the emblem turns into the Warner Bros. logo. He starred in Graham Norton and Gosti: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024).
There’s nothing about the character that suggests Farrell
He’s amazing. The New York dialect, the swaying and limping, the attitude: you’d swear it was a different person. The amazing prosthetics are very realistic and further enhance the character.
It’s well-written and tight
The show is gritty and graphic. There’s nothing cartoonish about it. It’s a great match for Christopher Nolan’s Batman.
HBO has a legitimate hit on its hands
In fact, I’d say it blows Marvel’s line out of the water. I hope there’s a season 2, but I know it’s limited. Too bad.
