In this short video, IMDb attempts to answer: Where the hell was Batman?
Scenario
Following the events of Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, aka The Penguin, makes a play to take over the criminal underworld in Gotham. Aside from a Bat-signal in the final shot of the season finale, we never got our Robert Pattinson cameo in The Penguin. Colin Farrell struggled to get his version of The Penguin to smoke tobacco in Batman (2022), but he failed.
The DC Studios logo is set in a rainy Gotham alley
For his own series, however, the character is depicted as a casual tobacco user, with a preference for cigars. An umbrella falls and the logo changes to the Warner Bros. logo.
Wow, The Penguin is just awesome
Featured on The Graham Norton Show: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024). Everyone knows what a great actor Colin Farrell is, but he’s unrecognizable here as the Penguin. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him nominated for some awards for his role in this.
I was wrong
The biggest surprise was Christine Milioti as Sofia Falcone. I wasn’t too sure when I heard she was cast in this role, she’s a good actress, but I didn’t think this role was for her. She’s as good as Farrell in this and makes you believe that Sofia Falcone is a real rival to the Penguin.
That’s how you do it DC
I also wouldn’t be surprised to see her nominated for some awards for her role in this. This isn’t your typical DC or Marvel show, this is a full-on gangster series. This series is set in the underworld of the now-demolished Gotham City and is a great follow-up to Matt Reeves’ The Batman.
