- Graeme O'Neil takes a look at Danny DeVito's review of Colin Farrell's take as The Penguin in 2022's "The Batman" after Danny played the role in 1992's "Batman Returns".
- Zábava
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.
@@dano3803 It's supposed to be a bit over the top and operatic, it's based off of a comic book, you want realism watch a Scorsese film, the Nolan films "Realism shtick" doesn't hold up very well , because the premise is too ridiculous, same goes for "The Batman"
@@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
@@eatmakock3646 I like the more camp versions of Batman personally.
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
Both Danny and Colin _vanished_ into their respective roles. Even vocally, you almost can't tell it's them.
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!
Well, it also says a lot about the makeup team as well.
Me neither, he was fantastic.
when i first saw his penguin i thought he was Robert De Niro
Me tooo broooooo
Michelle Phieffer's Catwoman was a legendary performance.
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.
On top of that it's true to the comics The Penguin was always known as a mob boss 🔥🔥🔥 not some orphan raised in the sewers
@@tylerdurdensays...5398 comic accurate or not, both performances are great
@@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 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I thought “that penguin is the best character in the whole movie, he will make it in Hollywood”. Not knowing it was Colin
You think it's good because there's no good films around, I watched it too, it wasn't that good
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.
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.
Less realistic but he's more relatable? Hmm, seems a bit 🤔. Also,fuckfuckfuckfuck.
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.
Colin has done for the Penguin what Heath Ledger did for the Joker.
100%
ok, now that's an exaggeration
@@Berder88 i think he means that a lot of people didnt like penquin and now people do
@@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.
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.
Farrell
It’s basically Colin Ferrell as Robert De Niro.
That's it! I couldn't put my finger on it until now
You nailed it
AAAAHHHHH!!! I GOT CHU!!! I GOT CHU!!! 👉👉
Yesssss!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
❤️❤️❤️.
Can we acknowledge how Colin Farrell does a good impression of Robert De Niro in this film?
For me no one has done a better cat woman compared to Michelle Pfeiffer. Her costume was great, her voice, the gymnastics. She nailed that role.
I agree
But Zoe played a good young catwoman while Michelle was the more experience one.
@@thebyrdcage8619Batman Returns was her first time as Catwoman, that excuse doesn't work at all.
@kobi7955 okay, I still stand what I said. Michelle as the older catwoman. And Zoe or Anna as the young catwoman.
@@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 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.
Batman Returns will always be beloved by me. The camp is unique and like he said, legendary
DeVito's Penguin was simply iconic.
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.
The cool part about all the live-action Penguin's is how radically different they are- while still being essentially a penguin-man.
....i love him too...grew up to his work....
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.
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 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.
Batman returns does feel quite majestic to an extent
Danny Devito's penguin is my favorite. To me it's more true to the comic book and cartoon I grew up with.
Can’t believe the Raspberrys actually “nominated” DeVito for worst performance for his portrayal of The Penguin in Batman Returns. Shit was literally iconic.
I was asking for that limited series. Thank you!
Same
Actually cant beat Danny's penguin. Brilliantly done
Colin performance are fantastic!! 11/10
“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.
@@aesopf6926 exactly man. So refreshing.
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
I like both their takes on the character, but my favorite Penguin will always be Robin Lord Taylor in the TV show Gotham. His acting was golden.
It's a close call between him and DeVito
Seriously 😳
That's so Amazing and I'm so happy to have such a great name like yiu on my C-list .... Nevertheless, where are you streaming from?
I love all three of their takes. Also love the actor from the old 60’s Batman show with Adam West, Eartha Kitt, etc.
@@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.
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
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.
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).
Danny DeVito’s Penguin flew away on an propeller umbrella. Colin Farrell’s Penguin rolled a Maserati. I like both.
That's a very funny expression you've gotten there, Where are you streaming from?
When the penguin was driving I heard the sopranos theme in my head lol
Danny is great but I love this new fresh take on penguin. Colin was great
Thank you very much for your lovely Comment on page , It's kinda great to have a big name like you on my List these day ❤️❤️ So tell me , Where are you streaming from?
1992 Penguin: Cannibalistic
2022 Penguin: Comedic Loudmouth
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.
It needed more street fights. The gang fight in the intro needed to be wayyy longer
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
How is being 3 hours long a bad thing?
Stylistically Batman Returns is unsurpassed. Catwoman and Penguin's portrayals are classic, nothing done since in that franchise comes even close.
Still haven’t seen Batman returns! Got to get to it this summer
"That nobody asked for" 😂😂its gonna be the best show out period let alone a Batman villain
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
honestly Collin‘s penguin was one of the highlights of the movie damn!!
I worked at The Museum of Contemporary Art when Danny DeVito came. Buses of school kids came that day too. The kids saw Mr. DeVito & juvenile pandemonium erupted: ''Penguin !!! Penguin!". Mr. De Vito 'morphed' into 'The Penguin' and spent some of his time with them.
Colin Farrell interpretou o Pinguim com um excelente senso de humor , amei vê- lo fazer esse personagem, pois foi cômico e ao mesmo tempo sarcástico ❤❤❤
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🔥🔥🔥🔥
When I first saw this movie I loved how the villains were portrayed. I believe that this is how The Penguin should be portrayed. Now Imagine how The Joker, and the others will be portrayed. Villains as human I can’t wait to see that.
Danny’s penguin had such a great look too
It`s more than acting here... His antics are genuine. He b e c o m es the Penguin. I showed a buddy who is feared in the gangsterworld... He instantly got awake... :) Only other characters that got his real attention were the ones from Breaking Bad and Better call Saul. As a Private Investigator for 3 decades and exundercover I can assure you the Penguin of Colin is hugely authentic
DeVito's Penguin escaped up some stairs in an emergency duck mobile, which exclaims that Penguin is an unhinged maniac with nothing to lose.
No need for you to try and make Danny out to be the bad guy for saying he prefers Batman Returns. It's his opinion, and I wouldn't say that he's choosing his words carefully. He said what he had to say, he has nothing to hide.
*reviews
"Reacts" implies him reacting live.
Now it's only a matter of time before Colin Farrell gets a role on Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia 🤣
I do love how they were able to create such a fictional universe that just isn’t possible today. Love both versions of the penguin though
two absolute icons.... love love LOVE them both!!! the films are done in completely different styles and I felt both actors were phenomenal in their respective interpretations!!!!
The new penguin is just Colin Farrell doing de niro 😂
The HBO max series trailer just dropped looks epic
Yeah this was INSANE. Heath would be proud lol. Too bad they couldn't be the same movie :(
Devito's penguin is so monstrous and scary! I never looked at penguins the same after watching batman returns.
😂 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”
For the Penguin HBO series, Devitto can easily fit in with some part as a fellow mobster or some corrupt cop.
Danny will always be my favorite penguin
Danny Devito was perfection I really saw him and thought scary Penguin man lol
I love both Danny and Colin’s. Both are interesting and some of my favorite versions. One of my other favorite versions of the Penguin is the one by Robin Lord Taylor from Gotham and Burgess from the old 60’s Batman show.
One of the reasons why Colin’s is one of my favorites is because his version is more realistic and gritty.
Imo of course.
In every tv show animated series and movies the penguin will always be the ultimate badass greatest MVP villain of the Batman franchise
I liked how Colin transformed into the penguin, I also preferred the Batman with Danny Devito.
The "limited series that nobody asked for" is meant to expand upon the criminal underworld we saw a fraction of in The Batman. It's the logical next step especially considering where Cobblepot is left at the end of the movie.
This presenting dude looks like Farrell's penguin himself, superb.
They should give Danny a mini role in the batman 2
He's right about Returns
No he’s not
@@kadebezruchak7250 why not; it's a great movie
They both have great portrayals of Penguin but if you love realism and what Penguin was in the comics. Farrell's is hard to beat. The Batman was fantastic from the characters, acting, cinematography, music, etc.
We never asked for Peacemaker either….. and that show rocked.
I have to agree with him but they did do a great job with the new Batman
No one asked for a Peacemaker series but that ended up being one of the best HBO series. There is a ton of potential for a Penguin series if they do it right.
Danny found Colin much edgier? I thought he was more tame. Danny's Penguin was biting noses and wanting to drown toddlers.
He's doing a deNiro Al Capone impression.
I’m a big fan and I didn’t even realize it was him, even still I can hardly see or hear it aside from when he raises his eyebrows when asking “do you know my reputation?”.
danny devito had the chance again as the 🐧with a nice update 🦇
I have to agree, batman returns is quintessential 'comic book representation'
The idea of a Grounded and Realistic approach to larger than life wacky, insane characters is Fun and in plenty cases seen as more Prestigious and Cinématique,
But these are Batman villains, even with Ledger I wouldn't trade a hypothetical 'Real' sociopath who paints his face over Nicholson and Hamill's literal CLOWNS THAT FELL INTO VATS OF ACID AND SURVIVED!!!
Davito nailed the penguin
It's interesting that Batman evolved 30 years after the making of Batman Returns and Devito shared Tim Burton's Gothic Halloween like theme compared to neo-noir films that focus on the crime element than a lot of the action adventure. What Batman brought in the Tim Burton films is what a serious live action film can look like that's true to the comic books.
Batman Returns was in a fantasy world compared to 1990 Dick Tracy and it takes you out of your realm and puts people into Gotham City.
Danny is right...BR all the way!
_"God damn it, Frank!"_
I really don’t think that the penguins are comparable. But for the Cat Women… I prefer Batman Returns.
Batman Returns is amazing. Batman 89 is my sh*t tho, for sentimental reasons. I remember being 4 years old, riding in the car with my dad to go see that movie. The best time of my life as I remember being so excited but not as much for the movie.....it was just being with my dad. Constantly talking while looking over at him drive, it was the greatest. Pulling up to the theater with all the flashing lights on the building....aw man 🥰. That was the greatest night in all of my 38 years of living thus far. People ask me which Batman is my favorite and it will forever be Mr. Keaton.
You got to pay the troll toll to get inside the boy’s soul
He’s great but I feel this should’ve been Robin Lord Taylor
seeing danny growing older makes me sob
Devitos penguin is definitely the best looking to the comics. But Collins penguin is definitely godfather intimidating.
Danny's penguin is iconic!!!!
I love Danny devito and his penguin. But Colin takes this one.. easy.
"that nobody asked for" yknow this is true but im so fucken hyped for this shit its gonna be golden.
At least it doesn’t look like some woke Marvel crap lol. I’m not sure why this guy says “that nobody asked for” with almost disdain. The teasers have looked amazing.
Very lookin forward to penguin series, Devito will always be Frank to me, love him
The only thing Colin Farrell’s Penguin were “tie-ins” for fans that made the Penguin iconic. His umbrella, Tuxedo w/ long coat tails, a penguin companion/waiter, monocle?
ohh wow he saw this my god this guy legent
I think the Penguin series on HBO Max will be very interesting Colin Farrell did fantastic job Colin Farrell is very underrated he's done some great work of course course Danny DeVito did a fantastic job as well that was more of a comic book character can't wait to see the direction of the Penguin series
I'm so sad to see Danny so old... QAQ
I didn't ask for your youtube channel either....but here I am .
I think Danny just took Buster Meredith's Penguin to more twisted and darker levels. They were both fantastic. Colin Farrell was okay, but just reminded me of a standard Mob Boss. He should have put in some more penquin like mannerisms, especially a more subtle wa wa wa bird sound after he talked or laughed.
Bro what💀
@@kadebezruchak7250 your mother

So Danny devito perfers his own movie n his own version of penguin. I'm stunned
I have to agree with Danny. The OG’s keep the crown.
Collins penguin is like the one from the xbox game, much more believable imo
