Colin Farrell's Oswald Cobblepot frowns his brow and the Penguin smiles in DC Comics
HBO's The Penguin makes a few drastic changes to the titular DC villain's origin and backstory, adapting him to Matt Reeves' grittyand grounded The Batman universe. The Batman introduced Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb as the dangerous owner of the Iceberg Lounge dance club, closely tied to Gotham's criminal underworld. The Penguin further develops Gotham's crime hierarchy, cementing Oz as an influential figure but revealing that there are always much bigger fish in Gotham City.
Tim Burton's Batman Returns heavily focused on the Penguin's tragic childhood and the influence his physical appearance has on his villainous personality. How The Penguin's Changes To Oz Cobb Serve His Character In The Batman Universe The Penguin's lack of resources and connections in The Batman universe make his feats with the Iceberg Lounge and his"drop" business seem much more impressive, as it is implied that Oz made a name for himself in Gotham completely on his own as a low-level criminal.
