Story
Following the events of Batman (2022), Oz Cobb aka The Penguin makes a play to take over Gotham’s criminal underworld. From melting makeup to filming in sub-zero temperatures, Colin Farrell and Kristin Miliotti discuss how they got into character during the production of The Penguin. Colin Farrell fought hard to get his version of the Penguin to smoke tobacco in Batman (2022), but failed. For his own series, however, the character is depicted as a casual tobacco user, with a preference for cigars.

This series completely ramps up those aspects and builds perfectly off of the movie
A big part of this was the mob underworld where Oswald aka The Penguin was starting to take over. I can’t say enough about Colin Farrell’s performance in this and honestly this might be his masterpiece. The guy gives the character the most rigid and pigeonholed feel possible which is so well done that it resonates. Even without Batman, his intrigue is so strong that you don’t even notice it.
I can ignore that though
The other supporting characters are all pretty well done although some of the casting choices seem a little misguided to some. This series continues to perfectly build this Batman universe and I can’t wait to see where they go from here. One of the best series of the last decade easily. Give Colin Farrell all the praise he deserves for this role.
