PLOT
In the wake of Carmine Falcone’s death, Oswald ‘Oz’ Cobb (Farrell) looks to make a name for himself in Gotham’s criminal underworld.
OSWALD COBB WAS only on screen for three scenes in The Batman, but he left a huge impression. Beneath all the layers of impressive make-up, Colin Farrell’s surprisingly hilarious, scenery-chewing performance shone through, emerging as one of the film’s highlights. And with The Penguin, Oz gets a chance to be the hero of his own story over an eight-episode canvas, no Dark Knights in sight. The extra, nonprosthetic layers that are added on here —to both Oz, and the world of Matt Reeves’ Gotham —are satisfying proof that this more grounded take on the character warranted a full series.
