Following the events of The Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, a.k.a. the Penguin, makes a play to seize the reins of the crime world in Gotham.. Except for the bat signal in the final shot of the season finale, we never got our Robert Pattinson cameo in "The Penguin." In this short video, IMDb tries to answer: Where the heck was Batman?. Colin Farrell fought hard to have his version of The Penguin Smoke Tobacco in The Batman (2022) but was unsuccessful. For his own series however, the character is depicted as an occasional tobacco user, with a preference for cigars.. The DC Studios logo is set in a raining Gotham alley. Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024) Featured in The Graham Norton Show (2024). The first episode is a direct continuation of Matt Reeves' The Batman and I imagine those who haven't seen the latter will be a bit lost. But I watched The Batman a while ago and this show did an admirable job of quickly re-familiarizing me with where the movie left off, and without getting bogged down in a didactic recap. It also recaptures the movie's aesthetic and grim tone nicely, although the show has a lot more moments of sly levity than the movie did ;street guy:" uncouth, profane, mercurial and quick to violence; but also savvy, cunning and able to read people. The character might have absolutely nothing to do with the comic book version but he's interesting in his own right. and I don't know if The Penguin's machinations will be enough to sustain an entire season. But so far it's off to a great start.
