channeling the penguin

any one else think David Suchet's performance looks like Danny DeVito's Penguin in Batman.

The first shot of him, when he turns and blows the smoke from his cigar, that is exactly what I thought! I swore it was him, until I looked up who played the Penguin!

I AGREE!!! That was the first thing I thought. If they decide to make a sequel to The Dark Knight. I think someone should suggest him as the Penguin. Haha.

Go in with no expectations, come out with no disappointments.

I'm so glad other people thought the same thing!

Yes, I thought of the Penguin, very definitely, and also of Lon Chaney Sr. as the vampire in the silent film LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT - creepy!

Haha I just watched it and thought the exact same thing! Especially at the end when he was slipping into madness.
