Colin Farrell had 'unrestrained fun' with the penguin in Matt Reeves' The Batman

During the press tour for 'The Batman', Colin Farrell could be found extolling the virtues of prosthetic work and how it got him the performance. And in a behind-the-scenes featurette attached to the Blu-ray release of the film, Farrell said: "When I saw the work of Mike Marino and what he had created and what the Penguin would look like [...] J I was so moved, excited and provoked, and my imagination kicked up a notch." This is evident in the final film, where he is clearly comfortable under layers of silicone and makeup.

In an interview with Total Film last March, Farrell elaborated on his experience of being at Warner Bros. Studios. in Burbank during pre-production and becoming Oz for the first time:

"It took about six or eight hours, and it was about 12 people [...] Someone was there who had molded the teeth. Someone was there who had done the styling. [Marino] and his team were there, three or four of them were applying different pieces because it was six or eight different individual prosthetic pieces and once it all worked out, honestly to God, it was beyond me , as I think most people would be. I started moving and talking and gesturing with my hands and I felt like a kid in the sandbox, man. "

Farrell added that he had "unrestrained fun" throughout his time on "The Batman" and "felt somewhat untouchable" in his penguin outfit. 'The Batman' star Robert Pattinson - who plays Bruce Wayne - also remarked on how much fun Farrell was having, recalling how "it's always nice to be in a scene with someone and you can see that they really like it too. Really really feel the look of the character."
