A comparison of Colin Farrell's and Danny DeVito's portrayals of The Penguin, arguing that Farrell's performance is superior due to its depth and development.
Now that The Penguin is over, and audiences set their eyes towards The Batman - Part II, I think it is safe to say that Colin Farrell 's take on the iconic DC villain is better than Danny Devito 's version.

The Penguin explored Oz's past involving his family, which really examined the psyche of the character. By The Penguin's ending, it is easy to hate Oz Cob
