Penguin’s origin is pretty much the “be careful who you call ugly in middle school” meme.

Collin Farrell's pinguin transformation looks so cool. He's really unrecognizable.

The penguin was always one of my favourite Batman villains!! The fact that he is not completely crazy and has no particular superhuman powers is awesome and his friendship with Riddler is so entertaining

Anyone watching this 2 years later, the penguin show was Freaking Amazing

[milesmorales]

When you think about it, almost every Batman villain was bullied to the point where they became a bully. It’s actually kinda sad

[Kay--in]

I just started watching Gotham. I love this character now, he's a genius. I'm so excited for the movie.

Penguin is definitely one of my favourite villains!

i liked Collin as the penguin particularity his accent sounds like a Brooklyn accent he looks like al capone and his mini series would be intriguing to watch but i wish we could get a movie of his backstory with batman in arkham city he clearly states the waynes destroyed the cobblepots and that personal connection makes for great storytelling

What do you think is the best thing about the Penguin in the comics and which one of his abilities do you think is the best?

[edrama]

The Penguin is a very interesting character in The Batman i never thought i would loved his character before, Matt reeves and Collin Ferrell did a great job with his character the Penguin in this movie is so charismatic and funny he became one of my favorite characters from the movie.

Another great video and Rogue Son looks AMAZING!!

[quentinfogger]

Who do you think did the childhood of the Penguin a living nightmare between his father, brothers and the school bullies? Who do you think he enjoyed getting revenge on?

[tracebaker]

No matter how horrible of things some of Batman's villains do, I think it's almost completely justified by some of their origins. Penguin is the perfect example of that. I've always rooted for him in every story he's in.

[Lonewolf_Gaming]

I love all the Batman it’s absolutely to actually pick a favorite out all of them

[shadowfirekarp]

The Penguin keeps getting away with it because he has a friend who is an expert in bird law.

[mostafafarweez]

Great Video. Hope to see a video of the riddler like this 1, since he is the main villain in The Batman movie

[yoshexbruhh]

I just watched The Batman, it’s really good. Music is a highlight.

[renatocosta]

Had a feeling for sure that The Penguin got an origin video for sure but maybe some more Batman Villain related videos would be necessary especially when knowing how The Batman has lived up to expectations.

[dylanogg]

Damn, he gave Bats the slip in Round 1? Way to go Oswald!

[vincentfranklin]

I've always liked the Penguin. He's one of my favorite Batman foes!
