HBO's "The Penguin" is set in the world of 2021 movie "The Batman," as Oz Cobb (Colin Farrell) tries to fill a void in Gotham's criminal underworld.

The Batman brought a grungey new take on DC's Dark Knight and reopened Gotham City for business, HBO's The Penguin is back to remind us all why we loved that movie so much. That episode 1 achieves that while expanding the world and turning the light of the Bat Signal onto Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb without Robert Pattinson's Bat is a hugely impressive start.

Reprising his role from 2022's "The Batman," it's impossible not to be captivated by Colin Farrell as villain "The Penguin."
