After watching Heath Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight, we never thought anyone would ever surpass that level. When Colin Farrell's The Penguin was announced, fans were excited, but they didn't expect his performance to be this good. The Irish actor has given the industry some of the best performances since 2000, but still, fans were skeptical about his role as the cunning DC villain. However, the actor stunned fans in the Batman movie. Now, the initial reviews of the HBO TV show The Penguin are out as well, and we have to admit that the actor has taken the DC villain to the next level with his acting skills.
Penguin is being called the best DC villain series ever
Penguins are one of the most ferocious creatures Enemy of the Caped CrusaderAnd the HBO show has tried to show that. We have seen Collin's performance as the villain in the Batman movie, and it was definitely impressive. Honestly, it was extremely difficult to recognize Collin in that makeup, and for many fans, it was simply the Penguin. That being said, the movie was about Batman, so we didn't get to see much of the Penguin in the movie. But that has been fixed through the TV show.
Many fans were hoping to see Robert Pattinson in the movie batman in tv showBut according to some reports, this will not happen. However, do not forget that Joaquin Phoenix's Joker broke all records even without Batman.

Penguins is yet to be released on streaming platforms for global audiences, but as usual, critics got a chance to watch the show a week before its official release. And most of the early critics seem to be impressed with the show's story and the actors' performances. This is why the series has a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Not only this, Penguin is also being called one of the best comic book villain performances ever and the best comic book live-action adaptation.
“No show can survive without great performances. The Penguin features some of the best television acting of 2024. Colin Farrell gives one of the best performances of his career as the lead character of Batman. What we saw of him in The Batman hardly reflects the character and his strengths. From emotional scenes with Oz's mother to clever ways of outsmarting his enemies, Farrell has created a unique interpretation of one of the greatest villains ever seen in a comic book movie or TV series.” – Jacob Fisher (discussing the film)
If we go by the first impressions, it won't be wrong to say that the TV show is going to be great. Still, we will be able to experience its brilliance only when it officially premieres on HBO Max on September 19, 2024.
