The DC Studios logo is set in a rainy Gotham alley
Story
Following the events of The Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, aka the Penguin, decides to take over Gotham’s criminal underworld. From melting the makeup to filming in freezing temperatures, Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti share how they got into character during the production of «The Penguin.» Colin Farrell fought hard to get his version of the Penguin to smoke tobacco in The Batman (2022), but was unsuccessful. For his own series, however, the character is portrayed as a casual tobacco user, with a preference for cigars. An umbrella falls and the logo transforms into the Warner Bros.
He nailed the tone and atmosphere perfectly
logo. Starring in Graham Norton I Liked: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024). Gritty, dirty and dark, but Farrell manages to capture that flash of charm that Gandolfini’s Tony Soprano did. There are similarities to the Sopranos, especially in tone.
Where to start with Farrell
A lot of dark stuff happens in this opening episode, but there are still comedic moments that fit the tone and don’t detract from it. Amazing is the right word. I love seeing talented actors commit to roles like this, and the makeup/CGI or whatever they did to physically transform him into the penguin not only passes the eye test, but it looks incredibly realistic. There’s always the risk that if the makeup isn’t good enough or is a little off, it could be completely distracting.
It didn’t disappoint, in fact, it surprised me
In Penguin, it adds to his performance and the overall quality of the show because it’s a really good job. And Farrell, as an actor, is completely immersed in this role. I may be a little biased since he was one of my favorite actors before this show, but I think this will earn him some well-deserved praise. I never watch new shows right away because I like to binge-watch the episodes, but I wanted to see how this one actually played out.
Kudos to everyone involved in this project
