TheBatman producer Dylan Clark says the upcoming Penguin spinoff show reminds him of another famous gangster movie... 🤔 'We’re doing [a spinoff] with [Farrell], seeing Oz rise to power, almost like a Scarface story...' 😱
The Batman producer compares the upcoming spinoff following Colin Farrell’s Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin to Al Pacino’s Tony Montana in Scarface. On top of Robert Pattinson’s caped crusader, Matt Reeves’ The Batman will introduce many iconic inhabitants of Gotham City when it releases in theaters on March 4.
Where Danny DeVito’s Penguin in Batman Returns was flamboyant and bird-like, Farrell’s iteration of the character is a more grounded Gotham gangster. Ditching his good looks for prosthetics and a fat suit, Farrell's unrecognizable turn as Penguin has attracted a lot of attention during The Batman’s promotional campaign.
We’re doing [a spinoff] with [Farrell], seeing Oz rise to power, almost like a Scarface story... It’s exciting to do something like that just as a standalone, but it speaks to the character and our movie. So that you’ll go back to the movie [and say], 'Oh, I see that backstory there, that line refers to this.'
Brian De Palma’s Scarface stars Pacino as Cuban refugee Tony Montana, who quickly becomes the most powerful cocaine kingpin in Miami, until increased pressure from Colombian drug cartels and the police, an explosive temper, and a handful of bad decisions inevitably lead to his downfall. Farrell has also compared Penguin to Fredo in The Godfather and The Godfather Part II. Oz, like Fredo, has very lofty ambitions, but has always been viewed as lesser by his associates.
It was previously unknown whether Penguin’s series would take place before or after the events of The Batman. Now, it seems likely it’ll explore his backstory while depicting his violent and manipulative rise to power. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Falcone bite the dust in The Batman, since this would create a power vacuum that could set up both HBO Max spinoffs, including the one focusing on the Gotham City Police Department.
