The Batman Actor Explains He Declined Returning For The Penguin Because Of The DC Show's Violence Toward Women: "That's Not My Thing"

Carmine Falcone played by John Turturro and Mark Strong

The Penguin has quickly become one of the most celebrated television series that the DC Universe has ever produced, although a certain member of The Batman's cast is notably absent from the show, despite his character appearing in flashbacks. With a heavy focus on the crime war between Gotham's two biggest criminal families, the Falcones and Maronis, the death of Carmine Falcone has weighed heavily on the series.

Speaking with Variety to promote the upcoming season 2 of Severance, Turturro addressed his not appearing in the Gotham-set television series. He claimed that he had done what he wanted with the character and did not feel a draw to return. In addition, he added that “In the show, there was a lot of violence towards women, and that’s not my thing.” He went on, admitting that scheduling also led to this decision.

With Carmine's limited role in the series being especially focused around inflicting violence on women, it makes sense that Turturro felt somewhat uncomfortable with the direction of the role.
