Colin Farrell in The Penguin (2024)
Except for the bat signal in the final shot of "The Penguin," we never got our Robert Pattinson Batman cameo in 8 episodes charting Oz Cobb's brutal rise from mafia chauffeur to Gotham City crime boss. In this short explainer, IMDb tries to answer: Where the heck was Batman? And what can we expect from director Matt Reeves's 'The Batman: Part II' (2026).

    This is how you write a villian

    Colin you magnicifent b***d! I can not tell how hard he carried the show but KUDOS to writers&directors not to make villians so weak.

    I can not describe how this will help raising the bar for next things to watch. We were so bored of apologyptic villians who are keep saying ''sorry'' and crying like a teenager girl non stop or going Gen-Z Harley Quinn mode where everything and everywhere is just rainbows and unicorns.. I really dont have enough English to describe how greateful im for this show.

    It made me like The Batman now which was a mediocre at best movie. Im looking forward to whatever DC puts on next.

    And this is the END of the Marvel superhero nonsense which i agree with famous director's quote ''They are not actual movies.''

    OZYMANDIAS REBIRTH

    What an episode finale, took such a long time to finally have a finale worth enjoying since breaking Bad, absolutely loved the entire cinematic experience since ep 1 to 8 and the way the characters evolved and the arcs finally concluding in the end, what an amazing setup, kudos to the team and i hope this show gets its due dividends in the upcoming emmy"s AMAZING The way colin and the entire crew has acted plus the theme of the bat universe was just so good to watch, i recommend watching "THE BATMAN" once to set the tone right, the music too was on point, plus the ending and a perfect setup for THE BATMAN 2.

    Just cant wait fir the next instalments in this new REBIRTH OF THE DC UNIVERSE.

    Flag bearer of Antagonist shows!

    Following the show from day 1, I had very high expectations from the finale and it does delivers on all the front. The writing, direction, twists, character arches, acting are all exemplary. Oz Cobb, Sofia, Francis & Victor all these have one thing in common that they won something what they yearned for throughout the show but lost everything. And the great thing about the show is that they didn't have to represent it with dialogues and rather with shear acting prowess and gigantic writing skills. I am just in the awe for this whole series. It's the quality that you see once in a decade. Sony serving all the Spider-Man villains crap to us, should take home tuitions from the writers on how to make a movie/show about a comic antagonist.

    BUT LISTEN KID, I CAN'T BRING YOU WITH ME THIS TIME!

    It's insane that Matt Reeves in less time created a better universe than Zack Snyder When you realize Oz suffered from severe Oedipus complex...which drove his every move in life.

    Now his mother is forever suffering from the love of her son. An ironical prison Shout-out to The Penguin for providing one of the most unexpected scenes I've ever seen in television.

    Legit never saw THAT coming.

    The Batman part 2 should open with a 30 minute scene of him just beating the Penguin We joke on it, but as a direct spin off of one of the most successful Batman movies, to achieve a show this good, that can easily stand on its own, is amazing; no Batman, no big cameos, just pure talent, incredible writing and amazing performances. Man if The Penguin is this messed up in the head I can only imagine How the joker is. Best show of 2024 . That my friends is how YOU WRITE A VILLIAN !!

    • Trivia
      Several posters and graffiti can be seen on the side of the street while Vic tries to convince the gangs to help. This notably includes a banner for the Gotham Renewal Corporation, the major Gotham fund that was used by Carmine Falcone and corrupt city officials before The Riddler exposed the truth as seen in 2022's The Batman. To that end, Riddler's question marks can also be seen on the walls amid old campaign posters for Don Mitchell Jr. Posters protesting against the police are featured as well with the slogan, "Protect and Abuse?", confirming the corrupt nature of the GCPD, and that good officers like Jim Gordon are currently the exception, rather than the rule.
    • Goofs
      Spirits such as whiskey or vodka do not ignite if they come into contact with lit cigarettes as shown. They need to be heated to about 70º C first to become easily flammable.
    • Quotes

      Oz Cobb: I mean, that's the thing about family. It's your strength. It drives you. But fuck if I don't make ya weak, too. And I can't have that no more. I can't have that shit. I can't. It's too much. Too fuckin' much. I'm sorry.
