The Batman Trailer Breakdown: 20 Things You Must See

14. Pondering Penguin

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!

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
