Colin Farrell's look in The Penguin comes from a surprising, cartoonish source of inspiration
Briefly

There was another fantasy character, which was also Bob Hoskins in [Who Framed] Roger Rabbit. There is some kind of quality there that Matt [Reeves] had interest in that I thought was cool.
It's all of these subliminal images and references [that] are all kind of melded into the subconscious of this character.
It's quite a funny film to draw from, especially when The Penguin has had a bit of a name change (from Oswald Cobblepot to Oz Cobb) to make sure The Batman felt more 'grounded'.
A sequel to The Batman is currently in the works, and will now be out October 2, 2026.
