Batman Fans React to Colin Farrell Potentially Playing Penguin

Earlier this year, reports broke that Jonah Hill was possibly in talks to join Matt Reeves' The Batman, only for those talks to fall through. Since those details became public, fans have speculated about who could take on the role, with Danny DeVito being one of the more famous interpretations of the character, thanks to Batman Returns. A new report has emerged claiming that Colin Farrell is in talks to take on the role, a name which likely never crossed anyone's mind, as he doesn't physically resemble most of the popular incarnations of the character throughout his decades of stories in various mediums.

With the number of Batman films having already been released and with the character being connected to various disappointments for the DC Extended Universe in recent years, it would appear that Reeves is pulling out all the stops to deliver a compelling cast, which already includes Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravtiz, Jeffrey Wright, Paul Dano, and Andy Serkis. While Farrell might not have been the anticipated choice for the role of Penguin, fans are pretty excited about how the ensemble is shaping up for The Batman.
