10 Actors Who Should Play Ben Affleck’s Batman Villains
8. Toby Jones As The Penguin
Other contenders: Timothy Spall, John Hodgman, Paul Giamatti, Ray Winstone Oswald "Penguin" Cobblepot is a classic Batman villain whos hugely significant to the mythology. Hes an eccentric white collar criminal known for his ties to ornithology. He runs a shady establishment known as the Iceberg Lounge which serves as Penguins front for a number of illegal financial activities. Before his untimely death many people believed that Phillip Seymour Hoffman would have been the perfect choice to play the character (and we're sure he would have). However, today we'd like to nominate none other than Toby Jones to tackle the suave sewer dweller. Aside from his obvious acting chops he also has the appearance to portray Penguin. Hes also played his fair share of conniving and annoying characters. Cobblepot is another character who has recently popped up on Fox's Gotham, this time being portrayed by up-and-comer Robin Lord Taylor. Though, if the character is to make the leap to the big-screen Jones is more than qualified.
