The Batman is one of my favorite comic book movies, and I am patiently waiting for The Batman: Part II, despite the announcement of its latest delay. Matt Reeves' take on the iconic DC hero proved to be successful and 2027 will see the return of Robert Pattinson in The Batman: Part II, one of my most anticipated films in years. When the trilogy is complete, it could just go down as one of the best superhero stories to ever grace the silver screen. 571b3x

In a recent interview, writer Tom King discusses just how important it is for comic characters to branch out from comics and how the success of The Penguin proves that DC's characters can find success in any medium, from video games to movies and TV - and all the way back to comic books.

The Penguin might be over for now, but if Batman fans of the TV series are looking for more hard-edged Gotham crime/noir, DC Comics has more than eighty years of stories just begging to be rediscovered. Wading through all of those comics may sound like a Herculean feat, but fortunately, Screen Rant has done all the hard work and found the best of the best for Penguin fans to enjoy.

The Penguin's finale primed Oz Cobb to be a powerful figure in Gotham, but this isn't the first time he's gotten into politics.

Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for The PenguinFollowing the epic finale of The Penguin, I've been growing increasingly worried about one DC character's future heading into The Batman - Part II. In The Penguin, Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb works to become the next kingpin of crime in Gotham, wanting to take advantage of the power vacuum created in the wake of Carmine Falcone's death in 2022's The Batman. While Oz eventually succeeds in his goals by the series' end, it wasn't without cost, as well as new partnerships The Penguin made along the way. To that end, it may have some dark ramifications for one of Gotham's greatest defenders (besides Batman himself).

Warning: Spoilers for The Penguin Special #1Gotham City is home to the most dastardly criminals the DC Universe has to offer, and the Penguin has proven that he's the worst one of them all. This Batman foe has made a name for himself in the 83 years since his comic debut, but he isn't typically regarded as highly as other villains. Now, the Penguin has unleashed his dark side in a moment so chilling it would send chills down Joker's spine.

HBO’s The Penguin is bringing a brand new addition to the world of Matt Reeves’s The Batman, and is already a hit with old and new fans of the titular character. While the TV show is taking some original departures, its star is one of Batman’s oldest villains and, after over eighty years of comics, he’s helped to tell dozens of stories. Some of which have clearly informed this new direction with Colin Farrell in the leading role.

With The Penguin ranking as one of Batman's most iconic enemies, it's no surprise that the character has delivered many memorable quotes across his movie and TV appearances. Having been a staple of Batman stories on both the page and screen for decades, the Penguin is an instantly recognizable character from the Dark Knight’s mythos. Many actors have played the Penguin in live-action, each bringing something different to the role in their respective incarnation of the infamous villain.

In our current age of pop-culture, comic book characters are brought to life every single day in properties like the DCEU and the MCU. After that, actors and their comic book characters rarely cross paths, except for when an actor’s love for their character compels them to craft the next chapter in their character’s story.

The Batman villain known as the Penguin has been a dapper mobster, a freak show carny, a quacking criminal, and a terrorist. A new one-shot collection arriving this October from DC Comics showcases some of his best stories before his first solo TV series premieres on HBO and Max. This historic anthology is a must-read for anyone who's interested in The Batman's spinoff series, The Penguin.
