@@DrRiddlez2015 just bc it’s based off a comic book does not justify it especially when batman comics and especially penguin himself has had many dark alterations of themselves which reeves wanted
It’s not necessarily “supposed” to be over the top there’s many more subdued versions of the character and of the batman narrative. You can have realism done really well with the comic medium, and even some movies with Scorsese-sequel realism have surreal elements
I had no idea that was Colin Farrell. That says a lot about his acting ability. Devito kinda reminds me of the Penguin, like that's who he is in some ways. Both are excellent though h. But Michelle Pfeiffer as catwoman - she had me at meow!
I totally saw and knew it was Devito playing the Penguin. Colin completely disappears, almost to the point you wonder why they chose him to play the role. I'm glad he did, his acting is phenomenal!
I just wrote a very similar comment and after reading a few of the other comments people have left it seems it's a popular opinion. As soon as he said it, and in such a condescending manner I thought the exact same thing as you. I finished watching the last episode at the weekend and thought it that the whole series was fantastic. Personally I think that if he doesn't win an Emmy (is that how you spell that?) It's criminal. Also the lady who plays his mam should be at least nominated for one too.
I see why they want to and are doing the HBO Max series. I saw The Batman twice in theaters and twice on HBO Max and I have to say, Colin’s performance stole the movie for me. He was already my favorite part of The Batman, but the more times over I saw the movie the more it only invigorated my love for Colin’s performance. As a Batman fan, I’ve seen every performance of the Penguin and I have to say my number one is Colin. It was most definitely a Penguin I can see in reality. I love that.
@@LeSteeler everyone is entitled to their opinion, i have to agree with you though, both performances are amazing and we've only seen the tip of the iceberg with Colin's Penguin. I will say I love Colin's performance more 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
For me, every movie of Batman has a different genre for the audience to watch. It is really hard to compare the characters. Both of them are good. It is like listening to classical or pop music.
You pretty much nailed it! I like the comic style Penguin that Devito portrayed better, I Love Collin but his style of Penguin was more of a mafia type which is great but like you said its either pop or classical! I relate to the comic style better cause I grew up in that era of superhero's and villains.
@@jasonsjustbetter2037 except a lot of people liked the joker before Heath ledger, you're all just kids who weren't old enough to remember all the other Jokers as well as Heath
@@richardarnez4932 I mean I personally wasn't a big fan of nickolsons joker, I always felt the animated versions were always better, the heath ledgers gave us a truly spectacular performance that gave us gritty more real joker, I mean thats what those movies were trying to do and they did it well. I believe that's what they were going for here to I feel that Colin's penguin is very comparable to heaths joker.
Devito's penguin is iconic nothing can and will be taken away from that, Colin's penguin did play well and his take in the batman will be remembered. Both can't be dissed as devito was one of the originals and Colin's is the new era. But I think what people sometimes don't see first is. It's not how you look it's how you preform. Big example there is only one marvel/DC villian that has defined that the fact the way you preform is the way you show who you are, and that one icon is the joker. what I'm getting at is yes both devito and Colin do look different but they both did justice in bring this icon villian to life.
Saying the new Penguin isn't very fleshed out then going ahead and claiming that nobody asked for a Penguin series is pretty wild. Looks like someone has a bias right there...
I love Danny Devito’s take on the character, I love the look and mannerisms of Danny’s penguin. He’s got a much richer backstory, he’s more tragic, more dramatic but in doing so he’s much less realistic but much more entertaining and relatable as a character.
>much richer backstory Stop it >much more tragic His story is more Melo dramatically tragic because otherwise it would be impossible to feel anything other then pure cheese otherwise >more dramatic Okay sure just preface the drama with melo.
@@yahboymilk4032 But he does have a much more detailed background. Prior to Burton’s take on the character he was a crime lord. That’s about it. After Batman returns his later reiterations incorporated the mutation and the social ostracism. As well as his noble background. He’s more tragic than his previous reiterations and any therefore after. Devito’s take on the character is more dramatic which makes the character less realistic but far more entertaining to watch. And he’s relatable in the sense that he strives for acceptance from his peers.
I think DeVito nails it when he points out the films are VERY different and go for different things, each actor was I believe perfectly cast for their respective films/roles.
@@thebyrdcage8619 michelle was 34 in batman returns and Zoe was 34 in the batman, so same age, Fun fact, There is 30 years between the two movies (1992 and 2022 ) and 30 years between Michelle and Zoe (1958-1988) !
I think Colin Ferrell's Penguin sounds a little like Danny Devito. I also think with prosthetics Danny Devito could have looked like The Batman's Penguin and given an equally great gritty performance.
I agree, Danny's portrayal is just pedestrian and hokey even if he does bring it with the acting. It would be like if devito did the joker and wore size 26 clown shoes, and him and his 30 henchman drove in the same smart car. And was doing circus shit all the time. The point of the characters names like penguin and joker is that they are a fun recognized way of portraying deeper parts of those character. Joker being an agent of chaos and testing batman's code and will about law and order.
I guess I didn’t ask for a penguin series…but when announced, knowing I’d get to see Colin Farrell back as Oz, was awesome. And the first episode was awesome!
I prefer the older Batman’s as well. I was a little kid when the first Batman(1989) movie came out. The amazement I felt watching that movie can never be duplicated.
The ending of this aged like milk. The penguin is one of the greatest shows on television right now and headed towards several Emmys. I guess great things come to those that don't request.
Burgess Meredith will always be the quintessential Penguin to me - the way he walked, the way he went "hwa hwa hwa" - any subsequent iteration of Penguin I always end up comparing to Burgess Meredith
Similar to Caesar Romero's Joker, Meredith had an absolutely lethal vocabulary with which he'd dress a person down with Shakespearean flair while brandishing a cigarette holder in the corner of his mouth like a surrogate saber.
Nolan North’s voice from the Arkham series for me. Perfect mix between Burgess and Colin, while still retaining the Britishness, and making the monocle a bit more gritty by replacing it with a smashed bottle in his eye.
That's not a bad Penguin at all, i always enjoyed the 60s Batman, Riddler was my favorite his giggles and Riddles. Yeah he was an awesome villain. All of them were. Colin's Penguin though just, it's just amazing, I LOVE IT.
That last line didnt age well at all. Even I was not super interested in a Penguin show but damn they managed to changed all of our '' nobody asked for comments"', by producing one of the best comic book shows ever/ one of the best shows of the year in general
The best series I've seen for years. Performances from all major characters are top notch. Script, director, cinematography all amazing. I wasn't expecting such a series but I am very glad someone decided to make it. What a diamond!
I loved both of their portrayals of Penguin in Batman Returns and The Batman. I do tend to favor Batman Returns' Penguin a little more because it's more closely aligned with the classical features of the Penguin. A top hat, monocle, umbrella and bird like features are all classic ingredients when making the Penguin. Definitely loved the portrayals of Penguin in the Gotham series and the Arkham video games.
Nobody has to "ask" for any particular movie or TV show to be made. People are just asking and demanding that the movies and TV shows that are made to be good.
“That no one asked for” Just because you didn’t that doesn’t mean no one did. Honestly it’s something I can’t wait for and the most exciting piece of comic book tv to come out since the daredevil show.
I said the same thing bro! Of course we didn’t ask for it, but we didn’t ask for this new Batman and I’m so glad we got it. If anyone in this new Batman universe deserves more of a back story it’s Colin Farrell’s Penguin.
True, but after this new Batman movie I'm interested to see what they can do. I think we can see more villians that way instead of pumping out more Batman installments
@@Pactastic042 Farrell and Devito lol. Farrell's Penguin is very realistic and is a mob boss much how Penguin is in the comics. Loved it because it was dark and excited for his show.
Pengujin may have been (according to you) a series no one asked for but has turned into one the better things on TV. So, thank Good no one listened to you.
Both interpretations have merit. Danny's was more over-the-top while Colin's is more grounded. I prefer Colin's take overall. That 1st episode of Penguin was awesome.
The Batman was actually very good, despite it being nearly 3 hours. I really enjoyed the iterations of all the characters. The new Penguin definitely reminds me of the more realistic versions in teh comics that I loved.
Lol the only other movie I remember saying “almost 3 hours is a little bit long…” is actually _The Dark Knight_ (2008)….. y’know…. Also dark and gritty Batman, hahahha
Both versions of the Penguin were good. Can’t wait to see DeVito as Phil again in the new Hercules movie. The Penguin series sounds good too. And Devito needs to play a Wolverine variant in the MCU.
The Batman Penguin is more relevant to the comics when DeVitos is just it's own thing which is fine I mean I enjoyed Returns but I definitely much prefer Colin's Penguin 1000000% it's just so much layers of character to peel and I love it🔥🔥🔥🔥
DeVito's Penguin is more like a comic book character and Farrell's is more like what Penguin would be as a real person. Which is exactly what they both portrayed so well. I think DD's version is a lot more unsettling while being humorous, and CF's is a lot more grounded and gritty. I love them both, but CF's acting absolutely fkn blew me away!!! He is such a brilliant actor being able to pull off a role like that with all the make-up, the waddling, and the voice; not only changing what he sounds like but putting on such a believable accent as an Irish man. Im just amazed at his performance every time i watch an episode!!! Cant wait for the next one ahhhhhh!!!! Its a great fkn show and i am glad they made it!!! 🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥👌👌🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
Honestly until somebody does a very comic accurate penguin, who is as much a gentleman as he is a master Criminal and crime lord, Danny is still going to be the best penguin in the live-action for me. Also to anybody who played the 2005 Fantastic Four game based on the film, is it me or did mole man also look like Danny
I agree but I’m not the biggest fan of devitos take, burgess Meredith is by far my personal favourite villain of all time and will be the best most accurate take of gentleman of crime, it’s a shame they made him some boring ass mob boss like we haven’t got enough of them in Gotham instead of a expert criminal who loves crime.
Danny gave us the fantastic version of The Penguin. Colin has given us a Penguin that's been mainlining Sopranos episodes. I imagine they could give us an awesome version of Black Mask or some of the more grounded criminals in Gotham
That "nobody asked for" comment didn't age well there buddy. That "Penguin" HBO series was one of the best batman universe based story archs in the history of television. Even if it was condensed into a movie it would've still been better than both Joker films while being critically acclaimed. 😂
What I like about Danny DeVito's portrayal of penguin is it's not completely evil. The Batman series always had a slight touch of comedy in it. The more recent Batman's have abandoned that element that tells you the villains weren't always evil. There's still a thread of who they were before they became completely evil and that gives you the hope that their characters still have a shred of good in them. Maybe you don't have to to kill them, maybe you can still reach them, maybe they can be reformed. Maybe there's hope for society. Batman Returns is the Pinnacle. There's a point where The Batman series becomes completely creepy.
Can’t believe the Raspberrys actually “nominated” DeVito for worst performance for his portrayal of The Penguin in Batman Returns. Shit was literally iconic.
If you're going for the comic book look, there's no question that Devito's penguin is better. But on an acting context, Colin's is way better because considering that he's not even american, he had to do a lot more acting. Colin did a great job portraying a mob boss villain.
Are you high? Colin Farrell's Penguin is literally Penguin from the comic books. Devito's Penguin has nothing to do with Batman, it's a made up character written by Burton who had no idea what Batman even was.
@@FuzzyDlop Actually Tim Burton had more creative control making Batman Returns and made Penguin and Catwoman the way he wanted to. I think the negative about Batman Returns that Tim Burton's Catwoman was too sexual (I think Catwoman licking Batman under a mistletoe and her on Penguin's bed was too much that it wasn't suitable for kids).
"That nobody asked for" but everyone needed. This video didn't age well, for those of you who haven't watched it yet the first 2 episodes are out and it's fucking amazing. Easily one of if not top 3 best shows of the year.
2024 here. The first episode of The Penguin did not disappoint. Don’t care if “nobody” asked for it, just glad it’s here.
I think by "Nobody" he means himself.
I immediately went to the comments when he said nobody asked for?! I think it’s one of the top shows right now😂
@@apok1980😂Same

It’s so good also it’s not just on Max it’s an HBO original series
I can appreciate that Danny Devito being proud of and loving his version more, while heaping praise on Colin.
The only reason why he prefers his version more is because he starred in it. I think his version was way to literal about the name “The Penguin”. Colin Farrell’s version wasn’t so literal and cheesy.

DeVito's Penguin is more like a comic book character and Farrell's is more like what Penguin would be as a real person. Which is exactly what they both portrayed so well. I think DD's version is a lot more unsettling while being humorous, and CF's is a lot more grounded and gritty. I love them both, but CF's acting absolutely fkn blew me away!!! He is such a brilliant actor being able to pull off a role like that with all the make-up, the waddling, and the voice; not only changing what he sounds like but putting on such a believable accent as an Irish man. Im just amazed at his performance every time i watch an episode!!! Cant wait for the next one ahhhhhh!!!! Its a great fkn show and i am glad they made it!!! 🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥👌👌🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
Honestly until somebody does a very comic accurate penguin, who is as much a gentleman as he is a master Criminal and crime lord, Danny is still going to be the best penguin in the live-action for me.
Also to anybody who played the 2005 Fantastic Four game based on the film, is it me or did mole man also look like Danny
I agree but I’m not the biggest fan of devitos take, burgess Meredith is by far my personal favourite villain of all time and will be the best most accurate take of gentleman of crime, it’s a shame they made him some boring ass mob boss like we haven’t got enough of them in Gotham instead of a expert criminal who loves crime.
2:24 well this def aged poorly. lmaoo jus finished watchin the last episode of the penguin n gd it i'm excited to watch the batman II
Boy is he ever wrong about nobody asking for The Penguin series. Just watched episode 1. Ah-mazing!
And the penguin tv show is amazing 😂 but danny is a legend and so is his version of penguin. Im happy to have seen both
Well, this didn't age well...
Here from the future the show is amazing
Penguin Show that nobody asked for ? Comment didn’t age well huh
Danny gave us the fantastic version of The Penguin.
Colin has given us a Penguin that's been mainlining Sopranos episodes. I imagine they could give us an awesome version of Black Mask or some of the more grounded criminals in Gotham
I love Danny devito and his penguin. But Colin takes this one.. easy.
That "nobody asked for" comment didn't age well there buddy. That "Penguin" HBO series was one of the best batman universe based story archs in the history of television. Even if it was condensed into a movie it would've still been better than both Joker films while being critically acclaimed. 😂
"Nobody asked for" .... i would have never clicked this video if it wasnt for that show... u should be thankful
Yeah talk about a serious misjudgement there and a pre-judgement in fact!
We all appreciate that they created the show, even though we didn’t ask for it, and it was well welcomed
A penguin series on Max that no one's asking for..... Well that didn't age well 😂
I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING
This video should be called “I react to Danny De Vito reacting to Colin Farrell’s Penguin”. So much interrupting!
Yeah this was INSANE. Heath would be proud lol. Too bad they couldn't be the same movie :(
2:24 after the ratings of the finale, your hate didn't age well.
Stylistically Batman Returns is unsurpassed. Catwoman and Penguin's portrayals are classic, nothing done since in that franchise comes even close.
who would have thought that the penguin show would be the best show of 2024.
What I like about Danny DeVito's portrayal of penguin is it's not completely evil. The Batman series always had a slight touch of comedy in it. The more recent Batman's have abandoned that element that tells you the villains weren't always evil.
There's still a thread of who they were before they became completely evil and that gives you the hope that their characters still have a shred of good in them.
Maybe you don't have to to kill them, maybe you can still reach them, maybe they can be reformed.
Maybe there's hope for society.
Batman Returns is the Pinnacle.
There's a point where The Batman series becomes completely creepy.
am glad to have such a loyal and loving fan following. I am very thank full too you all and love you all!
So tell me , where are you streaming from?
Heath still has comedy in his version of The Joker but I agree with you it's not the same as in the older ones, but then again it is the joker
the series is fire I didn't ask for it but I will be asking for it from now on 🤝💯🔥
I don't understand your format. Why not show the actual interview? Why do these cut-aways to explain what the person is going to say next?
He probably thinks somebody asked for it
They are both magnificent in their own way, they can both exist simultaneously
I just saw his old clips of Penguin and now he makes this I haven’t seen batman yet nothing on the Penguin but I know it will be great
I’ll watch Danny D react to anything. Love that dude. Colin is a top notch actor as well. Good stuff.
honestly Collin‘s penguin was one of the highlights of the movie damn!!
Danny and Colin are both great!
2:24 *THIS DID NOT AGE WELL...*
yeah lol i was looking for someone who'd say this, the penguin show is a masterpiece
Love them both and both performances. I may not have asked for the Penguin series but it's badass in my opinion.
😂 I love Danny Devito-isms so much & you know he was trying to keep it all coherent for the interview.. “we were embracing the majesty”
By " No Body " You mean Yourself .. here after 3rd Episode.
Can’t believe the Raspberrys actually “nominated” DeVito for worst performance for his portrayal of The Penguin in Batman Returns. Shit was literally iconic.
"People don't really know what they want until you show it to them."

If you're going for the comic book look, there's no question that Devito's penguin is better. But on an acting context, Colin's is way better because considering that he's not even american, he had to do a lot more acting. Colin did a great job portraying a mob boss villain.
Are you high? Colin Farrell's Penguin is literally Penguin from the comic books. Devito's Penguin has nothing to do with Batman, it's a made up character written by Burton who had no idea what Batman even was.
@@FuzzyDlop FR LIKE BRUH THIS GUY HAS IT ALL MIXED UP
Nah bro you got it all fucked up, COLINS PENGUIN IS THE ONE FROM THE COMICS!
@@FuzzyDlop not the Finger/Moldoff run :) but definitely the later comics, yes, The Iceberg Lounge and all.
@@FuzzyDlop Actually Tim Burton had more creative control making Batman Returns and made Penguin and Catwoman the way he wanted to. I think the negative about Batman Returns that Tim Burton's Catwoman was too sexual (I think Catwoman licking Batman under a mistletoe and her on Penguin's bed was too much that it wasn't suitable for kids).
Series nobody asked for but fans are glad they went ahead. Collin is having genuine fun and it jumps off the screen
"That nobody asked for" but everyone needed. This video didn't age well, for those of you who haven't watched it yet the first 2 episodes are out and it's fucking amazing. Easily one of if not top 3 best shows of the year.
the age of heroes with cape and villain with make up is ending
i freaking love how real they make penguin looks like
