Yes, That's Colin Farrell in the Trailer For The Batman, and No, We Didn't Recognize Him Either
The most shocking visuals in the first trailer for The Batman aren't of Robert Pattinson's Bruce Wayne or Zoë Kravitz's Catwoman - they're of Colin Farrell as the Penguin. Farrell's version of the classic Batman villain only appears very briefly in the trailer, and when he does, Farrell's basically unrecognizable.
In a quick shot that passes so fast you could blink and miss him, Farrell's Penguin appears with rain streaming down his face, which is almost entirely altered through a heavy layer of prosthetic makeup. The prosthetics make him look older, heavier, and rounder, not to mention giving him a balding look and almost completely obscuring his real features - he basically looks like a totally different person!
Farrell hasn't commented on his physical transformation, but he has revealed his early thoughts on the script. "I have been watching the Batman films with my kids, but this script is something that feels incredibly original," he told SFX magazine, according to Metro. "It leans into it but it doesn't borrow; it's born of the mythology of that character, Bruce Wayne, Batman and Gotham. But it feels like a treatment and a version that I hadn't seen before." Farrell added: "Matt Reeves has done an incredible job of keeping it familiar and at the same time unique and new. It's really exciting to be a part of it."
Watch the first trailer for The Batman below - you can spot Farrell at around the 1:18 mark. We can't wait to see more of his take on this iconic comics villain when the movie arrives (hopefully) in the fall of 2021!
