The Penguin in the Media

[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.

[Twilight Man]

Could the Joker be appearing in the 10-part mini-series as well????

Barry Keoghan (who portrayed the Joker at the end of "The Batman") is "open" to the idea.

PS.   Don't forget to watch "The Banshees Of Inisherin", starring both Keoghan and Farrell,

coming to theaters on Friday.

‘The Penguin’ Sets Cristin Milioti As Female Lead Sofia Falcone

“The goal of this is to show what Oz’s life is like, and that’s very much in the streets of Gotham, trying to get up and over as only the Penguin can. As a hustler and a strategist with his own ambitions. It is a great example of having the time over eight episodes to tell a longer-arc character story with a lot of delicious twists and turns and new characters."

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.
