He entered the character during the production of “The Penguin.” Colin Farrell fought hard to have his version of The Penguin in The Batman (2022), but was unsuccessful. However, for his own series, the character is portrayed as a casual tobacco user who prefers cigars. An umbrella falls and the logo changes to the Warner Bros. logo.

HBO’s new show The Penguin, a spin-off from Matt Reeves’ The Batman (2022), is a gripping dive into the criminal underworld of Gotham City. Led by Colin Farrell as the titular character Oswald Cobblepot, aka The Penguin, this series expands on the gritty and gritty tone established by the film, giving fans a fresh yet familiar experience in the Batman universe. Unlike most superhero-related content, The Penguin focuses on the darker, more human elements of Gotham’s criminals, moving away from the caped crusader to highlight the rise of one of Batman’s most iconic foes. Set immediately after the events of The Batman, the series explores Penguin’s journey to fill the power vacuum left in Gotham’s criminal empire. With Carmine Falcone dead and Gotham’s infrastructure in disarray, Penguin seizes the opportunity to rise to the top, determined to take control of the city’s crime syndicates.
Colin Farrell’s Performance Colin Farrell’s portrayal of the Penguin is nothing special
His transformation from underdog to master criminal is the main focus, giving Penguin the feel of a mob drama more akin to The Sopranos than a traditional superhero show. The show cleverly avoids relying too heavily on Batman’s shadow, allowing Penguin to truly shine as a leader. Without the dominating presence of Gotham’s protector, it 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, adding depth to Gotham’s criminal underworld without overly focusing on the superhero spectacle. Physically unrecognizable in his prosthetic makeup, Farrell fully embraces the character with a subtle performance that balances the mob boss’s brutality with the insecurities and ambition that drive him.
Farrell brings layers to the character that go beyond the stereotypical villain portrayal
The Penguin is no longer just a caricature of a deformed umbrella-wielding villain; Instead, he’s portrayed as a ruthless and calculating player in Gotham’s criminal hierarchy, making him both terrifying and oddly likable. His Oswald Cobblepot is shrewd, manipulative, and ready to break bones, but he’s also a man driven by a deep-seated inferiority complex and a desire for respect. Watching him navigate the treacherous waters of Gotham’s criminal underworld is compelling and offers a solid take on the character, making Penguin a fascinating character study. Ambience and Bold Tone In terms of atmosphere, Penguin maintains the same grimy, rainy aesthetic that fans have come to love in Batman. The dark, crime-ridden streets of Gotham are beautifully shot, emphasizing realism over comic book extravagance.
The tone of the show is dark, violent, and tense, reminiscent of neo-noir crime thrillers
Every scene is steeped in the destruction and decay of Gotham, and danger seems to lurk in every shadow. The production design is top-notch, with sets that feel like a natural extension of Reeves’ Gotham City. The seedy clubs, deserted alleys, and opulent crime lord mansions add to the show’s gripping atmosphere.
