'The Penguin' isn't adapting a famous Batman comic like 'The Long Halloween.' The creative forces behind the series talk about how they remix that superhero lore.
Colin Farrell joins "The Batman" creative forces to explain why it was "imperative" to do something different than a straight comic adaptation.Nick is an entertainment journalist based in New York, NY. If you like pugs and the occasional blurry photo of an action figure, follow him on Twitter @NickARomano.'s return as Oz Cobb. And yet, the series does not feel like a"comic book show.
According to Reeves, Francis was one element LeFranc pitched that really excited them by "leaning into the origins of what makes the void ." He adds, "You can always look at what creates ambition, but there was an origin that created the whole sweep of where the series would go." Our guide through it all is Victor Aguilar , another original character created for the series. He's a kid from one of the less-affluent neighborhoods of Gotham who tries to steal a plum-colored car with his buddies. As fate would have it, that car belongs to the mobster known by his enemies as the Penguin, catapulting Victor into one helluva ride in the first episode.
Of course, there are plenty of comic book Easter eggs, if not a straight adaptation of a classic comic book arc. Fans might recognize the name of one of Sofia's old inmates at Arkham from back in the day, for example. There are also figures like Carmen Ejogo's Eve Karlo, Oz's lover and a madame of the night. Though Eve appears to be an original character created for, DC fans will recognize that she shares a last name with a notable Batman villain, the original Clayface, Basil Karlo.
