Here Is Why ‘The Penguin’ Recast One of Reeves’ Major Villains for the Show
There was uncertainty among some fans when it was announced that Colin Farrell would play Oswald Cobblepot, or The Penguin, in Matt Reeves’ “The Batman”. Since Farrell didn’t initially seem to fit the character, fans were hesitant about how he’d portray the role. However, the costume design team did an outstanding job, and Farrell turned out to be a fantastic villain. In fact, HBO moved so quickly that they ordered a standalone series focusing on The Penguin.
