In this short video, IMDb attempts to answer: where the hell was Batman?

Line of Events

After the events of Batman (2022), Oz Cobb, aka the Penguin, is playing a game to take over Gotham’s criminal underworld. Aside from the Bat-signal in the final shot of the season finale, we never got a glimpse of Robert Pattinson in The Penguin. Colin Farrell fought hard to get his own version of The Penguin in The Batman (2022), but he failed. However, in his own series, the character is depicted as an occasional smoker who enjoys cigars.

The DC Studios logo is on a rainy Gotham alley

An umbrella falls and the logo changes to the Warner Bros. logo. The Graham Norton Show: Lady Gaga / Demi Moore / Colin Farrell / Richard Ayoade / Jack Savoretti (2024). Wow.

The Penguin is simply amazing

Everyone knows what a great actor Colin Farrell is, but he’s unrecognizable here as the Penguin. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him nominated for some awards for his role in this movie. The biggest surprise was Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone. I wasn’t too sure when I heard she was cast, she’s a good actress, but I didn’t think this role was for her.

I was wrong

She’s just as good as Farrell and makes me believe Sofia Falcone is the Penguin’s true rival. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her nominated for some awards for her role in this movie either. This isn’t your typical DC or Marvel show, it’s a full-on gangster series. This series, set in the underworld of a half-destroyed Gotham City, is a great follow-up to Matt Reeves’ Batman.

That’s how DC does it
