The Penguin, portrayed once again by the talented Colin Farrell. In The Batman, Cobblepot was introduced as a low-level but ambitious mobster, and the series picks up right where the film left off.
After the events of the movie, Cobblepot begins to fill the power vacuum left by the downfall of Gothamβs criminal elite, attempting to consolidate his control over the cityβs criminal operations. Farrellβs portrayal of Cobblepot, which is already one of the standout performances of The Batman, promises to further explore the characterβs complexity in the series.
Unlike many supervillains, Cobblepot is not driven by a desire for world domination or chaos, but by a deep-seated need for respect and power in a world that has long underestimated him.
