Chronology

After the events of The Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, also known as the Penguin, is trying to take over Gotham’s criminal underworld. Aside from a call for a bat in the last shot of the season finale, we never got our cameo as the Penguin from Robert Pattinson. With this short video, IMDb attempts to answer: Where the hell was Batman? Colin Farrell fought tooth and nail to get his version of the Penguin to smoke in The Batman (2022), but he failed. In his own series, however, the character is depicted as a casual smoker who favors cigars.

The new HBO series The Penguin, a spin-off of Matt Reeves’ Batman (2022), is a thrilling journey into the criminal underworld of Gotham City. Directed by Colin Farrell, the title character Oswald Cobblepot, aka The Penguin, expands on the dark noir tone established by the film, offering fans a fresh yet familiar experience in the Batman universe. Unlike most superhero content, The Penguin focuses on the darker and more human elements of Gotham’s criminals, moving away from the caped crusader to shine a light on the rise of one of Batman’s most iconic foes. The plot, set immediately after the events of Batman, explores The Penguin’s journey to fill the power vacuum left in Gotham’s criminal empire.

Colin Farrell’s performance Colin Farrell’s portrayal of the Penguin is simply exceptional

With the death of Carmine Falcone and the chaos that has gripped Gotham’s infrastructure, The Penguin seizes the opportunity to rise through the ranks, determined to take over the city’s criminal organizations. His transformation from underworld to crime boss is a central focus, giving Penguin the feel of a mob drama that’s more akin to The Sopranos than a traditional superhero series. The series wisely avoids relying too heavily on Batman’s shadow, allowing the Penguin to truly shine as the main character. Without the dominating presence of his protector, Gotham creates a new and interesting dynamic where Oswald is free to operate in a morally ambiguous space. This narrative shift feels fresh for the genre and adds depth to Gotham’s criminal underworld without focusing too much on superhero spectacle.

Farrell is physically unrecognizable in his prosthetics

He completely inhabits the character with a nuanced performance that balances the mob boss’s brutality with the insecurities and ambition that drive him. The Penguin is no longer just a caricature of a deformed villain with an umbrella; instead, he is portrayed as a ruthless, calculating player in Gotham’s criminal hierarchy, making him both terrifying and oddly sympathetic. Farrell adds layers to the character, transcending the stereotypical villain portrayal. His Oswald Cobblepot is cunning, manipulative, and ready to break bones, but he’s also a man driven by a deep-rooted inferiority complex and ambition. Watching him navigate the treacherous waters of Gotham’s criminal underworld is fascinating and offers a grounded approach to the characters, making The Penguin a compelling character study.

The tone of the series is dark, brutal, and suspenseful, reminiscent of neo-noir crime thrillers

Emotionally, The Penguin maintains the same dark and rainy aesthetic that fans loved in The Batman. The dark, crime-ridden streets of Gotham are beautifully depicted, emphasizing realism over the grandeur of comic book plots. Every scene is filled with Gotham’s corruption and decay, and danger seems to lurk in every shadow. The production design is top-notch, and the sets feel like a natural extension of Reeves’ Gotham City.
