Colin Farrell's Extreme Transformation For The Penguin

[@benarizola8453]

Everyone involved with this series should be nominated for every award possible. Everything on this series is award winning. From the cinematography, to the acting, the makeup and wardrobe. Even the music is award winning.

Tremendous across the board. Colin has left his body . He is 1000% Ozwald. BRAVO to the team⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It never ceases to amaze me how good a job he does as Oz. He totally disappears into the role. I am VERY use to spotting Colin's body language and facial ticks that he repeats in most of his movies.. But NONE of that is here. He literally becomes a different person in this show! It really blows my mind.

Still floors me every single episode I see him. He's so fricken good. Just give him all the awards & heck how bout the makeup team as well!❤💞❤️

Every aspect of the show is remarkable, but I am continuously impressed by the make-up. He doesn’t look like an actor in heavy prosthetics, he just looks like a whole different guy.

It's undeniable that this show did for the Penguin what The Dark Knight did for the Joker. I don't see this becoming a common thing, transforming an actor like this just for the sake of doing it. The question keeps coming up, why cast a guy and then just make him look like a different guy? After all, there's nothing about the Penguin's look, other than the scars and gold teeth, that you couldn't have just found in another actor. Sure, he has a certain look that evokes a number of different characters from classic gangster movies. But to me, the point of it is very specific to a comic book movie, and this particular kind of comic book movie. What makes the world of Reeves' The Batman so interesting is that, while being scrupulously grounded in realism, it still has the core of the pulpy superhero genre in its bones. The Penguin wasn't The Sopranos in Gotham. The Sopranos didn't have supervillain origin stories like that of Sofia Gigante, or secret underground lairs with gothic arches. As grounded as this world is, it still uses the superhero comic language of symbols, of transformative costumes and lurid colors to render its characters into icons. Nothing in this show stands out more than Oz Cobb's purple suits and cars. And purple is the traditional color of supervillians, since the early days of Lex Luthor and The Joker. So the makeup treatment they gave Colin felt like it was embracing the core nature of comic book characters. But it's not because he's some cartoonish grotesque, like the villains in Dick Tracy. They didn't need to go that far. He's simply a rendered creation, a walking work of art. To me, this strikes a difference from the Nolan trilogy. Nolan brought comic book elements into his film aesthetic. But The Batman has the comic book aesthetic in its bones. Too many comic book movies are just movies trying to look like comics. Strip away the costumes and tropes, and you just have another action movie. James Bond in tights. But this film and this show feel like the opposite, like a comic pretending to be a movie. At its heart, there's an ineffable essence that we rarely see outside the pages.
