But in Gotham the TV series we saw a different version of Penguin one that had really nothing to do with penguins at all. Oswald was a cold calculating revenge-filled person. This is the new version of penguin. We saw this is the latest Batman movie directed by matt Reeves. And with the success of the movie, HBO decided to produce a series about The Penguin starring Colin Ferrell than release it on the Max streaming service.
Now the only way you could see this series was to subscribe to Max streaming service. Well, that is until now. Physical media fans can finally rejoice as The Penguin is flying home on 4K UltraHD!
Synopsis: Colin Farrell stars in the title role, the DC Studios drama THE PENGUIN continues The Batman epic crime saga that filmmaker Matt Reeves began with Warner Bros. Pictures' global blockbuster and centers on the character played by Farrell in the film.
Colin Farrell is tremendous as the cruel and calculating Oz Cobb. Yeah that is the only downside I hate the name. I am a comic book purest and I would have preferred it stay Oswald Cobblepot. You want to nickname him Oz, fine, but keep the original name. The supporting cast is great and stories are well written and produced. But realize this series is not for the family. There is a lot of adult themes, violence and profanity. So viewer beware.
The episodes of The Penguin have been transferred to three 4K discs. These episodes are presented in 2160p UltraHD and presented in widescreen format. The audio track is an English Dolby Atmos TrueHD and finally there is the option for English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.
