Colin Farrell Reportedly Playing Penguin In "The Batman"

It's time for your bi-weekly The Batman update! If he signs on, Colin Farrell will join a long line of legendary actors who have brought The Penguin to life. Should Farrell's deal go through, the Fantastic Beasts actor will round out a trio of villains facing off against Robert Pattinson's Batman. In 2004, Halle Berry took on the role of Catwoman in the first and only standalone film about the illustrious character.

We already have a Paul Dano Riddler and Zoe Kravitz Catwoman (though who believes she'll be a real villain for the whole film?). After the success of Joker, fans will be buzzing to head back to Gotham for Matt Reeves' The Batman, where Twilight star Robert Pattinson will play The Caped Crusader himself.

The above rendering of Colin Farrell comes to us from the artist known as Boss Logic Boss Logic is known for creating epic images of actors as comic book heroes, usually related to the most popular casting rumors or announcements. In the films, most of the actors that have portrayed the Penguin have mirrored his smaller physical characteristics.

Now, according to Deadline , Warner Bros has set its sights on Colin Farrell for the role in what would be his first superhero film since 2003's Daredevil. If the deals pan out, Serkis and Farrell will join Twilight and The Lighthouse star Robert Pattinson , who'll be appearing as the Caped Crusader himself in the film.

News of Farrell's casting comes in the wake of The Batman - Colin Farrell for Penguin Jonah Hill's decision to pull out of talks to portray either one of Riddler or the Penguin. Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright and Paul Dano are already on the call sheet. The rest of the cast that has been announced so far is equally exciting, with Paul Dano set to play The Riddler and Zoë Kravitz recently announced as Catwoman.
