The Batman
There are a sight of characters inThe Batmanand of the many stellar operation , one of the most show - thieving was Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepott AKA The Penguin . Not only was Mike Marino ’s make-up laurels - suitable , but Colin brought the tumid character to life so well .
Apparently , Matt Reeves and Colin Farrell enjoyed working together so much that a whirl - off serial was announce beforeThe Batmanwas even eject . Prior to the photographic film , it might have seemed like a strange selection butThe Batmansets up what could be another hit DC series for HBO Max withThe Penguin .
Making Penguin A Layered Character
Even the most die - strong fans of the Penguin will admit that the bulk of strip move around Penguin into a cast-off villain . This could be the chance for Penguin to get up to the same popularity as the Joker or Bane .
Oswald and Batman have quite the rivalry in the comics , so developing both the hero and the villain at the same clock time in different projects could benefit the chronicle , turning the Penguin into a straight bane . Colin Farrell has express in interviews that he wants to make the Penguin into a flesh - out and superimposed character who is more than the typical crime lord .
More Of Penguin’s Humor
With so many funny moment inThe Batman , the tailspin - off can apply the humor to its advantage . Not only to get interview to enjoy his bearing , but also to relieve them from what will likely be a much darker offence story .
Expanding On Gotham City
Matt Reeves deliveredone of the best interpretation of Gotham Citywithout even showing very much . WithThe Penguin , sports fan can learn even more about Gotham City through the Penguin ’s eyes . The different boroughs and districts , showing which gangs see these sections , further show window Gotham as a character itself .
Even notable risible book location such as the Monarch Theater , Ace Chemicals , and Blackgate Prison can be expanded upon or introduced . The Batmanalready boast Penguin ’s club lie with as The Iceberg Lounge which could easily be advance now that Cobblepott is in charge .
Other DC Cities
Crime does n’t fix itself to Gotham City , which leavesThe Penguinto open a Batman world out to other cities feature in the comic . law-breaking lords of Gotham City often also had business in the sister city of Blüdhaven . And , Selina Kyle straight observe Blüdhaven as one of the possible patch she would journey to inThe Batman .
Since the city is already canon and is famous for being the operating priming for Dick Grayson AKA Nightwing , make Penguin go there for business would simply be another manner to further expand Matt Reeves ' Batverse for the future tense . Or the show could explore other cities such as Star City , Keystone City , and Metropolis .
The Umbrellas
One of the classic factor about The Penguin in the comics is his umbrella . This was not really shown inThe Batman , but that can well be fixed with the spin - off series . As he becomes more and more herculean as a crime boss , he find out to evolve a signature look that others fear . In a way , he could be inspired by the way Batman maneuver .
As for the gadgetry that is often seen in Penguin ’s umbrellas , it ’s not backbreaking to believe Colin Farrell ’s avatar would have them . Maybe not to the ridiculous extent thatDanny DeVito ’s iconic version of the Penguinhad , but simple trick umbrellas such as a obliterate vane , a small-arm , or even a taser could play .
Potentially An R-Rated Story
Matt Reeves pushed the limits of a PG-13 superhero story withThe Batman . There were elements that could have agree right into an radius - rated moving picture , such as the grimy and scruffy underbelly of Gotham . SinceThe Penguinwould be a story about a villain , an R rating would be fitting .
Not only is it a villain write up , but if it ’s a mob / crime thriller in the same venous blood vessel asThe SopranosorThe Godfather , a PG-13 is not unimaginable but not ideal either . The Penguin is a pitiless crime boss who often murders people in gruesome ways due to his harsh temper , and HBO Max could expose that in all its life-threatening brutality .
Other Crime Bosses
It is stated that with Carmine Falcone gone and Gotham City now a no world ’s estate due to Riddler ’s flooding , there is going to be a nullity with criminals fight for control . This makesThe Penguininto the prime serial to inclose the other notable law-breaking boss of the DC universe .
From Batman ’s rogues alone there is Black Mask , The Ventriloquist , Anarky , The Great White Shark , and even Ra ’s Al Ghul with his League Of Assassins . Then there are other gangs from across the DC world , including those led by Count Vertigo and Prometheus .
Introduce Other Villains
Since only so much can be done per Batman moving picture , The Penguincould act as a springboard for villains to be bring out then implemented into sequels toThe Batman . For example , with the District Attorney kill by The Riddler , Harvey Dent could easily be introduce as the main antagonist for Oswald Cobblepott .
apparently , introducingHarvey Dent would lead to him transform into Two - side . Penguin always has henchmen and hired gun to do his dirty work , which leaves way for the ilk of Deadshot or Killer Croc .
Potential Batman Appearances
Robert Pattinson has openly convey his pleasure in play Bruce Wayne , and he print fans withThe Batman . As such , it would not make much gumption to have someone like Penguin roaming the metropolis and not have him encounter Batman . Especially since this Batman is demonstrate to be undeterrable in his quest to push offense .
Batman appear onThe Penguincould be the equivalent of Luke Skywalker or Cad Bane in the Disney+Star Warsshows . Not only does it make sense to have them , but it would go to show - stealing picture wee-wee for iconic moments in the series .
Penguin’s Origin Story
An prescribed synopsis forThe Penguinstates that " every story has a kickoff . " This could be a hint of The Penguin ’s rise to powerfulness in Gotham City but also potentially the origin of Oswald Cobblepott . Perhaps buff will see flashbacks to Oswald ’s tragic childhood a laPenguin : Pain And Prejudice .
Colin Farrell ’s version of The Penguin featured several noticeable scars that could maybe be explain with his series . Colin Farrell has also spoken in interviews about the fact that he moot " Penguin " to be an insulting byname , thus it would be interesting to delve into how he gained that name and create The Iceberg Lounge .
