However, in his series, the character is portrayed as an occasional tobacco user, preferring cigars
Chronology
Following the events of Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, aka the Penguin, attempts to take over Gotham’s criminal underworld. Aside from the Bat-Signal in the final shot of the season finale, we’ve never seen Robert Pattinson’s role in “Penguin.” In this short film, IMDb tries to answer: where the hell was Batman?. Colin Farrell fought hard to get his version of the Penguin to smoke tobacco in Batman (2022), but he failed.
The DC Studios logo is set in a rainy Gotham alley
The umbrella falls and the logo changes to the Warner Bros. logo. It appeared in Graham Norton’s Gosti: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024).
I’ve never seen Farrell so invested in a character
So the first episode is done and it was excellent. I mean, yes, he’s wearing a fat suit, but you’d never know it. His posture, his body language, his voice, you’re immersed in the character and you see only Penguin.
He’s a New York gangster, a smart aleck
He’s not like any other penguin you’ve seen on live television, Burgess Meredith or Robin Lord Taylor. He’s a Scorsese gangster, but without the flowery language. The plot is simple, similar to Lord Taylor’s “Penguin” on CW’s “Gotham.” Penguin is a middleman in a mafia organization.
Very funny and highly recommended
He’s done his time, slowly rising through the ranks, and then, with the fallout from the Riddler blowing up the city walls and the death of his boss in that movie, he sees a chance to rise in the world. Now, the double-crossing and, I think, triple-crossing begins.
