    If they’re getting Colin Farrell to play the Penguin then my guess is that he’s going to take far more inspiration from how he is portrayed in the Gotham TV series, which while I haven’t seen it, I get the sense it’s much more of a crime boss/mobster style interpretation than cartoon villain. The threat to Batman will unlikely be physical from him - I would bet it’s more a case of his intelligence and criminal connections being the issue, with any actual fights being supplied by his vast amounts of goons. I also agree that it is very likely they will play up the Cobblepot/Wayne rivalry like in The Batman

    That sounds like a recipe for a good movie. Not Christopher Nolan good, but a fine continuation of the Batman franchise. I like Batman stories that involve a lot of mobsters.

    Me! Me! I like the Penguin.

    Btw. what is your opinion about Gotham (please no spoilers for the latest season, I haven't seen it yet)?

    I instantly liked the Penguin there. In fact I was surprised how much I liked the series overall, as I am not a fan of DC comics at all.

    Never watched it. I don't have a TV. I had the opportunity to watch it on Hulu but I didn't bother. I thought it was weird to have a Batman story without Batman in it and my opinion of Fox live action shows is fairly low. I'm not boycotting the show or anything. I've been just stuck in "I might watch it someday, but not now." along with about twenty other television series.

    It is more of a Jim Gordon series than about Batman, and I must say I really like the metric ton of Gotham city heroes and villains that appear throughout the series.

    That's sort of a standard rule that whenever things go medieval in the DC universe, Batman is carrying a cooler looking weapon.

    In Starcrossed when Batman and everyone was breaking out of a Thengarian (thanks to red sun light, Superman was reduced to the strength of a buff human) Superman got a nice sturdy power hammer and Batman had two electric flail-nunchuk type things.

    It repeats over and over again whenever the Justice League or their allies are wielding melee weapons.

    Hahaha... that makes me so happy!! :)

    We've had a couple of victories of late:
    • Box office bomb of Terminator Woke Fate
    • Box office bomb of Charilie's Angels reboot
    • CW's poor ratings for Batwoman
    • Joker kicking ass and taking names!

    We may have taken a loss on Captain Marvel earlier in the year, but we've been doing pretty good since then.
