"The Penguin" is the second project set within Matt Reeves' grim, violent take on the DC universe, following 2022's "The Batman" which starred Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne and Batman. The film established that Gotham's police force and the city council are corrupt,

Reprising his role from 2022's "The Batman," it's impossible not to be captivated by Colin Farrell as villain "The Penguin."

There are also live-action TV shows that feature the Penguin. Robin Lord Taylor plays a younger version of the character in “Gotham” (2014-2019), and in the series “Batman” (1966-1968) Cobblepot was played by Burgess Meredith.
