The Batman Funko POP Shows Penguin With His Umbrella Weapon
A recently revealed exclusive Funko Pop! multipack from The Batman shows Colin Farrell's Penguin with his iconic comic book umbrella weapon. Farrell is unrecognizable as the Gotham City crime boss in Matt Reeves' take on the Caped Crusader. Farrell stars in the film alongside Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, and Andy Serkis.
Appearing completely transformed, Farrell plays mid-level mob boss Oswald Cobblepott, a rising figure in Gotham's criminal underworld destined to become an essential part of Batman's (Pattinson) rogues gallery. Though he is usually depicted as a leading figure in Gotham's structure of power, Farrell's Penguin is just as new as the Dark Knight in Reeves' film. As such, both Reeves and Farrell have compared Cobblepot to Fredo Corleone inThe Godfather, describing him as a man with unfulfilled ambition he has yet to act upon due to his circumstances. With Farrell's Penguin taking part in car chases and facing off with Batman, the character is shaping up to be a key player in Reeves' Gotham, and a newly revealed Funko Pop! has teased the inclusion of one of the crime boss' iconic tools.
