“Where’s Batman?” : Colin Farrell explains the absence of the Dark Knight in The Penguin


The Penguin resonates with many fans of The Batman franchise as a satisfying continuation of Matt Reeves’ Bat-Verse, with Colin Farrell’s eponymous crime boss wreaking havoc in Gotham City. Although the series will disappoint those hoping for another showdown between Oz Cobb and Bruce Wayne, Farrell explains why the HBO spinoff never features a Batman cameo.




Talk with ColliderFarrell explained why Robert Pattinson’s Dark Knight didn’t appear in The Penguinwhose events begin a week later The Batmanthe events. According to the Oscar-nominated actor, Batman’s absence comes down to an “existential shift” regarding his purpose and a sense of conflict given what happened with the Riddler in The Batman. Additionally, much of what happens in The Penguin is “all under the guise of the criminal underworld”, and nothing makes the news to attract Batman’s attention.

Deirdre O’Connell thinks Francis and Oz can still save their relationship.


“So I felt that at the end of what happened – and we look more closely at what happened through Victor’s experience – what the Riddler did was so horrible and killed so many people that I think Bruce Wayne/Batman had a moment where he had to step back and understand his own implications, because the Riddler directly involved him in the Riddler’s mission,” Farrell explained. :So, I would say that Bruce Wayne is having an existential crisis at the end of the first film, and I can’t wait to see how he inhabits the Bat in the second film. So for me, I understand why people say:Where is Batman when all this happens??’ But none of this is big news. Everything happens under the cover of night. »

Although Pattinson’s Dark Knight does not appear, The Penguin flashes a bat symbol in its final move to set up The Batman Part IIwhich excited Farrell. “I loved it, man. I got dizzy. Look, I’m a nerd when it comes to all this. I’m really dizzy,” he said. “I will say I didn’t know this was going to happen. There were several different versions of this, and it played out in different ways, and we shot it in different ways. I heard that they were doing something new with the edit, and I looked at it, and I saw the camera go out of the room and you see me and Eve still dancing, and then boom, in the sky, I receive the concerns of the people of “.Where is Batman when all this shit happens?‘But this shit hasn’t made headlines yet. It really hasn’t made headlines yet. »
