i liked Collin as the penguin particularity his accent sounds like a Brooklyn accent he looks like al capone and his mini series would be intriguing to watch but i wish we could get a movie of his backstory with batman in arkham city he clearly states the waynes destroyed the cobblepots and that personal connection makes for great storytelling

[@wholethedogsout880]

he acted like he didnt know the wayne family that intimately tho when he found out who bruce wayne was (funeral scene) and he shows zero resentment towards Bruce in the film (hes nice to him)

[@thenationaltimelyactionhou9328]

Penguin is definitely one of my favourite villains!

[@tracebaker]

No matter how horrible of things some of Batman's villains do, I think it's almost completely justified by some of their origins. Penguin is the perfect example of that. I've always rooted for him in every story he's in.

Legit tho from what I’ve heard , Colin Farrell knocks it out of the park as Penguin , but since we’re getting Mr Freeze next in the Reeves trilogy , god I really hope we get a good Mr Freeze since it’s been more than 20 years since he was in a live action Batman movie and god knows that was an absolute atrocity

Gotham Penguin is better

[@quentinfogger5755]

What do you think Oswald Cobblepot would have been like if his father got him a Plastic surgeon to fix his big nose? Is he best at being a crime boss and getting ruffians to do his dirty work?

[@lysanderthemagician6413]

I think that could make him more insecure, since that would be like his father telling him he’s ugly. It would make him more bitter because he’d see how people might treat him better after getting a nose job, even if he’s still the same guy. I think the newer mob boss Penguin is best at hiring others for that since some versions of him play both sides (being a mob boss & informant for Batman/the cops). However the versions who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty are also great in their own ways.

[@GoldProduct9999]

I’d just Ike to point out, he didnt actually kill those kids in Gotham Central, Harvey just thought he did. It was actually some old lady

I love it when creators whether that be , cartoons/live action, in films, comics(etc) make him more human. Like he looks like a mostly average human being but deep down he's a true psychopath. It's one of those a wolf in sheeps clothing and I love how in these versions he acts all gentleman like but do one little wrong and he shows who he really is. Also at least in Gotham, it's one of those the least expecting to see. B/C of how he was portrayed/looked characters didn't take him seriously, yet in the end he rose to the top. I love Robins portrayal of him, he's my favorite Penguin

Mr Freeze is supposed to be the next villain in Matt Reeves franchise. Hopefully he'll really be Mr Freeze or become him at some point. Be really cool if Reeves has the guts to do THE MR FREEZE.

@@football8897 Mr Freeze comic book form might not fit but at the same time it probably could. Mr Freeze is a complex human character and anti villain.
