Colin Farrell’s gangster Oz Cobb (better known as the Penguin) was one of the breakout characters of director Matt Reeves’ 2022 hit “The Batman.” Now the Penguin’s long-awaited solo miniseries, which was initially announced two years ago, finally debuts its first trailer, ahead of the series premiere set for this fall on Max.
Farrell disappeared into the role of the Penguin in “The Batman,” but the focus was clearly on Robert Pattinson’s title character, and the Penguin was only one of several villains and other familiar figures from the Batman mythos. In “The Batman,” the Penguin worked for crime boss Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), mainly running Falcone’s club the Iceberg Lounge, where he worked with Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz), aka Catwoman. The Penguin has one particularly memorable car chase scene in “The Batman,” but otherwise the spotlight remains on other characters.
