The Batman Trailer Breakdown: 20 Things You Must See

14. Pondering Penguin

The Batman 3

Here's Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin, with some absolutely incredible makeup work bringing the character to life.

The above shot is accompanied by another shot of Penguin stood in front of a window - presumably in his penthouse - gazing out over his Gotham domain. This image is particularly gorgeous, with the framing of Penguin's silhouette against a beaming orange sun.

There's an earlier shot of Catwoman beating up a thug in an area that looks quite similar to this, so maybe she infiltrates Penguin's compound at some point?

Reportedly, this version of Penguin isn't the massive kingpin he is in the comics, and just from these images alone, you get the sense that he's desperate for more, desperate to be greater. We're sure Batman has a thing or two to say about that!
