Scenario
After the events of The Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, aka the Penguin, plays a game to seize control of Gotham’s criminal underworld. He got into the character during the production of « The Penguin. » Colin Farrell fought hard to have his version of the Penguin in The Batman (2022), but failed. For his own series, however, the character is depicted as a casual tobacco user who prefers cigars.
An umbrella falls and the logo changes to the Warner Bros
logo. Featured in Graham Norton and others: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024). Wow.
The Penguin is simply amazing
Everyone knows what a great actor Colin Farrell is, but as the Penguin he is unrecognizable here. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him nominated for some awards for his role in this. The biggest surprise was Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone.
I was wrong
I wasn’t too sure when I heard she was cast in this role, she’s a good actress but I didn’t think this role was for her. She’s as good as Farrell in this and makes you believe that Sofia Falcone is a real rival to the Penguin. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see her nominated for some awards for her role in this.
That’s how DC does it
This isn’t your typical DC or Marvel show, it’s a full-on gangster series. This series is set in the underworld of a now half-destroyed Gotham and is a great follow-up to Matt Reeves’ Batman.
