With Paul Dano’s Riddler occupying the main antagonist position in The Batman, Colin Farrell’s Oswald Cobblepot is involved in the proceedings as a rising crime lord who doesn’t like being called The Penguin.
The Batman marks The Penguin’s return to live-action film after a three-decade absence, though Robin Lord Taylor played a younger version of the character on the Fox series Gotham.
It remains to be seen just how much Penguin will be featured in The Batman, although with two sequels already in development, plus an HBO Max prequel series centering on the Gotham City Police Department, it’s easy enough to envision Farrell reprising the role.
