Colin Farrell as Oz in The Penguin
It's only getting more dangerous for Oz as he keeps his enemies so close they’re almost surrounding him in the latest episode of The Penguin,"Inside Man." However, despite the strategic maneuvering and impressive cinematography that brings Gotham to life, The Penguin’s greatest strength is just how funny it is, particularly Oz’s comedic moments.
Oz is Funny in 'The Penguin' Because He Isn't All-Powerful Although Oz is a powerful man, and his end goal is only to gain more, a lot of his humorous moments derive from the fact that Colin Farrell doesn’t take Oz too seriously, and neither do the writers. When the car impedes him at Alberto's funeral, he gives a frustrated wave as he and the driver hesitate about who is going first.
Whilst Sofia suffers from traumatic nightmares, making her villainy more sympathetic and somewhat reasonable, Oz is enjoying his machinations, doing what he wants because he wants to, not like Sofia's need for revenge. It’s quite frightening to see someone having fun whilst in such perilous stakes, and even more terrifying when Oz stops smiling.
Oz is probably one of the most delightful Batman villain adaptations we've seen since Heath Ledger's Joker. The fact he is a constant presence in almost every scene is so impressive, especially considering how many villain spin-offs end up falling flat because a villain-turned-protagonist lacks the depth to carry a story. Instead, Oz is insanely layered. He's a powerful man with a sense of humor, who we see struggling in very funny ways.
