'The Penguin' is a darkly engrossing entry into the Batman cannon

NPR  

'The Penguin' is a darkly engrossing entry into the Batman cannon With no costumes, no superpowers and no Batman, HBO's The Penguin is less like a comic book series than a crime drama — closer to The Sopranos than to the Batman movie from which it came. Colin Farrell, who played The Penguin in that movie, now reprises the role in a new eight-part HBO spin-off series called "The Penguin." When Burgess Meredith played him on TV's "Batman" series, he was a waddling, quacking, cartoonish character in a tuxedo. And the way Colin Farrell played him in the recent movie "The Batman," almost unrecognizably buried under prosthetics and a body suit, The Penguin was brash and vicious but all too human.

The new series follows Colin Farrell’s heavily prosthetic reimagining of Oz “The Penguin” Cobb, in the aftermath of 2022’s The Batman. An opening montage reminds viewers about the state of things in Matt Reeves’ version of Gotham City, and the short version is: Batman kind of beefed it. …
