In this short video, IMDb tries to answer: Where the hell was Batman?
Narrative
After the events of “Batman” (2022), Oz Cobb, aka The Penguin, tries to take over the reins of Gotham’s criminal underworld.. Except for the bat signal in the last frame of the season finale, we never got Robert Pattinson’s cameo in “The Penguin”. Colin Farrell fought hard for his version of the Penguin to smoke tobacco in Batman (2022), but to no avail. However, in his own series, the character is depicted as a casual smoker who prefers cigars.
Pharrell is LOVING this series
The DC Studios logo is located in a rainy Gotham alley. The umbrella falls and the logo changes to the Warner Bros. logo. Featured in Graham Norton’s Favorites: Lady Gaga/Demi Moore/Colin Farrell/Richard Ayoade/Jack Savoretti (2024).
The show is harsh and visual
He impresses. There is nothing in the character that even hinted at Farrell. New York dialect, swaying and limping, attitude: you could swear that this was another person. Shocking prostheses are very realistic and emphasize the character.
Well written and tight
There is nothing cartoonish about it. This is an excellent analogue of Christopher Nolan’s Batman. In fact, I’d say it blows the Marvel line out of the water. I hope it can be a second season, but I know it’s limited.
It’s a shame
HBO has legitimate success.
