Why THE PENGUIN Changed Oswald Cobblepot’s Name
2022 brought us our initial peek at Matt Reeves’ interpretation of Gotham City through “The Batman.” Unlike previous attempts, this version leans towards a more comic-book-like portrayal of the fictional city while maintaining a balance between realism and fantasy. It’s neither “The Dark Knight” nor “Batman & Robin,” which required adjustments to certain elements, such as character names. For instance, in this film, the Penguin is referred to as “Oz.” However, the series “The Penguin” reveals that his real name is not Oswald Cobblepot.
