Is This Guy The Penguin in The Batman?


A critic pointed out that in his make-up as The Penguin in The Batman, the otherwise unrecognizable Colin Farrell looks like ...Richard Kind.

reply

Hah. I knew this guy looked familiar. I remember him as the nutty amateur mathematical physicist in A Serious Man.

reply

It isn't Richard Kind for real in The Batman, of course. Its Colin Farrell.

But once that critic called it -- I couldn't see anybody but Kind in the role.

UPDATE: In his "3 Best Roles" post here, "Gotham" is listed. That's about Batmansville. Is Kind ALREADY playing The Penguin? I don't know. I don't watch.

UPDATE: I looked it up on IMdb. No, Richard Kind doesn't play The Penguin on Gotham. He plays the Mayor.

reply

Mmm, could have been perfect. Barely any make up needed at all. I mean Farrell did a good job, but interesting idea.

reply

He already played the Mayor (no, not Penguin, although Penguin has stood for mayor and even been mayor on a few occasions) on "Gotham".

reply

Ha, I just made a post about Richard being the template that Colin's body suit is based on on the "Penguin" board.
