Robert Pattinson cameo in “The Penguin”
After the events of The Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, aka The Penguin, makes a play to take over the criminal underworld in Gotham. Aside from a bat signal in the final shot of the season finale, we never got ours. In this short video, IMDb tries to answer: Where the hell was Batman?. Colin Farrell fought hard to get his version of The Penguin to smoke a cigarette in The Batman (2022), but it didn’t work.
The DC Studios logo is set in a rainy Gotham alley
In his own series, however, the character is depicted as a casual smoker who favors cigars. The umbrella falls and the logo changes to the Warner Bros. logo. Appearing in Graham Norton i gosti: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024).
Farrell STEALS this series
He’s impressive. There’s nothing about the character that even suggests Farrell. The New York accent, the swaying and limping, the attitude: you’d swear it was another person. The amazing prosthetics are very realistic and add to the character.
Well written and concise
The acting is gritty and graphic. There’s nothing cartoonish about it. This is a great take on Christopher Nolan’s Batman. In fact, I’d say this blows Marvel’s line out of the water.
It’s a shame
I wish they could have a season 2, but I know this is limited. HBO has a legitimate hit on their hands.
