You can't be Penguin without the top hat. That would be like, I don't know, calling a man a woman but without the wig and makeup.

Months after it was first reported that Colin Farrell will be playing The Penguin in Warner Bros.' The Batman, director Matt Reeves has confirmed the news.
The director took to Twitter on Monday to confirm that Farrell is indeed playing the Penguin, sharing a GIF of Farrell from the 2008 movie In Bruges with the caption, 'Wait - Is that you, #Oz?' along with a bat emoji.
'Oz' is a reference to The Penguin's given name, Oswald Cobblepot, and the tweet comes hours after the first photos of Farrell leaked from the London set.

Another Batman movie? Holy retread!
He’s still young enough to play batman and yeah he doesn’t seem like the type to play the penguin.
Danny Devito was shaped for the part back then :)
The best is the current Gotham Pinguin actor, “Robin Lord Taylor.”
Colin is a good comedian. He would make a great comedic villainous Penguin with that raspy voice of his.
Agreed.
What a terrible casting mistake. For the Penguin, there is no other choice than Jerry Nadler, and he won’t even need a special suit for the role.
Stupid.
They might as well have cast Will Farrell...............
I think Burn Gorman would make a great Penguin.
Yes!
Death, taxes,...and Batman.
Oops, Getting my Colins mixed up. Colin Quinn, the comedian, is the guy I was thinking of. And, yes, he would be a great Penguin
After the enormous box office AND critical success of Joker and Dark Knight, expect all the comic book movies to “turn real”.
No more PG-13 comics.
Gritty. Bloody. High drama. Realistic.
Who is ready for Gal Gadot chopping off heads with a sword?
That studios do not realize is that it was great directors combined with a great script and world-class acting that make their two gritty successes.
So they’ll just put out violent trash instead.
“Colin Farrell confirmed as The Penguin in Warner Bros. The Batman by director Matt Reeves after the first photos leak from the London set!”
With the bs posted as news on FR this week, this may be the slowest Fake News week since Trump stole the election with Russia’s help.
So who will they cast to play colon feral?
F yes!!
This is a great choice. Although “Batman Returns” was a good movie, I’ve always hated the Danny Devito version. I’ve always wanted the Penguin to be more suave and proper, instead of this grotesque character.
colin farrel is like 5’5”... he ain’t batman material.
Im Gonna get a Batman coloring book!
