Following the events of Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, aka
the Penguin, is set to take over the reins of Gotham’s crime world. From melting makeup to shooting in freezing temperatures, Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti talk about how they got into character during the production of “The Penguin.” Colin Farrell fought hard to make The Penguin smoke tobacco in Batman (2022), but was unsuccessful. In his own series, however, the character is depicted as a casual smoker, preferring to smoke a cigar.

But after Part 1, I can confirm that this show is amazing (so far)
I thought Colin Farrell was great as the Penguin in Batman, but I never understood the idea of taking a thin, good-looking actor and putting him in a massive prosthetic and fat suit… especially when I think he looks like some other famous actors who were just as good. I also didn’t really understand why this spinoff came about, and I’m honestly sick of the Batman reboot. I only watched it because I knew it was supposed to be a bridge between the first and second movies, and I was surprised that Farrell had a role in the first one.
But I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did
The acting is fantastic, the writing is great, and it surprised me with some quick twists. The biggest thing I liked was that there was a lot more color in this than in Batman. I noticed it almost immediately, as it was a huge excuse for me to watch the movie (it felt like I was watching it through a Zack Snyder lens).
