Twilight Man

Our story begins mere moments after Riddler has flooded all of Gotham.

"So, Gotham is still, somewhat, underwater," Farrell said. "I read the first script of the first episode and it opens up on my feet splashing through the water in Falcone’s office."

“So yeah, it’ll be, I think six or eight hours."

(So, a 10-episode series, as usual, which each episode about 45 minutes)

"I’m supposed to read episode two and three within the next week.”

Filming begins early 2023.

The Penguin Series Is A ‘Scarface Story’ In The Batman World: ‘He’s Aching To Get More Status’

Quote

Audiences will get a deep-dive into what makes Oz Cobb who he is, including an insight into his relationship with his mother. “This is what differentiates him from previous versions of the Penguin in the comics, where he used to come from a wealthy, well-known family,” LeFranc notes. “Matt had already made him an underdog in that he was number two to Carmine Falcone in the film, but we didn’t know anything about his family. So it was important to me that he comes from nothing, and he’s really aching to get more status and be seen as more important.” First you get the money, then you get the power – then you get the Bat.

‘The Penguin’ Creators Explain Why Robert Pattinson’s Batman Won’t Appear in Series

Quote

"I understand why people’s desire would be to have Batman, or to think that unless Batman’s in a show or a film then it doesn’t have the same punch. To me I think it packs a different punch. Matt’s films are through the lens of the Batman, so you’re high up, looking down on the city. It’s a different perspective. With Oz, you’re in the city streets, you’re in the grit and the muck and the grime. He’s looking up, wanting to claw his way to the top.”

Colin Farrell doesn't know if he wants to play The Penguin again if season 2 happens because of the toll of playing the character

Quote

"Don't get me wrong – I loved it – but it got in on me a little bit. By the end of it, I was bitching and moaning to anyone who would listen to me that I fucking wanted it to be finished. I tried to remind them that I had 'grumpy gratitude.' I was still grateful, and still honored – I grew up watching Burgess Meredith [who played the role in the '60s TV series], and then Danny DeVito [in Tim Burton's 1992 film Batman Returns] was my Penguin – so being a part of the lineage of that storytelling, I really did feel privileged. But by the end of it…"

HBO’s The Penguin, With 5.3 Million Viewers, Outdraws Succession’s Final-Season Premiere

Quote

That tally is bigger than both the fourth and final season premiere of Succession (4.9 million viewers over a similar amount of time) and The White Lotus’ Season 2 average (4.1 million viewers over a similar amount of time), and nearly on par with January’s Season 4/”Night Country” premiere of True Detective (5.7 million viewers over a similar amount of time).

How Colin Farrell Transformed Into The Penguin | The Penguin | Max

Quote

"The fact of the matter is there wouldn't be this show if it wasn't for Mike Marino. What he created through his skill, his passion, his twisted imagination was so iconic."
