The Batman BTS Video Shows Colin Farrell's Penguin Transformation
New behind-the-scenes footage from The Batman reveals Colin Farrell's physical transformation into The Penguin. Directed by Matt Reeves, the latest take on the Caped Crusader was released in cinemas in March followed by a HBO Max release in early April. The Batman's opening 10 minutes was released on HBO Max's YouTube channel. Eschewing the traditional origin story, instead focusing on Batman's second year of fighting crime, Reeves' story focuses on the detective side of the Batman mythos far more than previous cinematic iterations of the Caped Crusader.
Despite clocking in at a lengthy 176 minutes, The Batman has been well received by fans and critics alike, with particular praise directed towards the cinematography, performances and story. Packed with characters from Batman's rogues gallery, alongside Robert Pattinson's Batman, the film stars Zoë Kravitz's Catwoman, Paul Dano as the Riddler, an almost unrecognizable Colin Farrell as the Penguin, along with a glimpse of Barry Keoghan's take on the Joker. When the first The Batman footage dropped in August 2020, many were surprised to see Farrell's physical transformation. Now, a glimpse as to how that was pulled off is shared.
