Tale
Following the events of The Batman (2022), Oz Cobb aka the Penguin is set to take over the reins of Gotham’s criminal underworld. He got into character during the production of “The Penguin.” Colin Farrell fought hard to have his version of the Penguin in The Batman (2022) but failed. However, for his own series, the character is portrayed as a casual tobacco user who prefers cigars.

Plus, Cristin Milioti is just as good as Sofia Falcone
Colin Farrell is absolutely amazing as Oz Cobb aka The Penguin. He was a standout in The Batman and is even better in the lead role. The two of them fight to figure out who Gotham’s number one gangster is and “bring order to all the chaos.” Some people were worried that a supporting character like Penguin couldn’t carry the show and wouldn’t work without Batman or Bruce Wayne, but fear not because this is more than just a villainous character in a superhero series.
It’s a great crime drama in its own right
It’s a violent, gritty crime drama that’s a lot of fun to watch. I hope we get more stories like this from this world. Check out our review of “Yellowstone” Season 5, Episode 2, “The Octopus Game”; Season 2 and more of the most anticipated new and returning series coming to TV and streaming.
