Penguin’s origin is pretty much the “be careful who you call ugly in middle school” meme.
never seen one of those lol
LOL that's a good quote to be honest tho
Lies again? Like Penetration Ugly America
Now that is karma
@@daleatsoverton9542you know what one piece is one piece of shit 😂
Collin Farrell's pinguin transformation looks so cool. He's really unrecognizable.
Same, he looks like a different person, almost intimidating
He nailed that role. From looks to speech. Can't wait to see his hbo max series
Who's pinguin?
@@Ava_LuxzB John cena and the rocks child
How did you screw up the spelling of a word that's right there in the title?! Seriously, just... look up!
The penguin was always one of my favourite Batman villains!! The fact that he is not completely crazy and has no particular superhuman powers is awesome and his friendship with Riddler is so entertaining
Riddler
They were even closer in "Gotham," lol.
@@darlalathan6143 Gotham for a really bad writing had a lot of actors which fit the mannerisms of their characters; Jim Gordon, Alfred, Riddler, Penguin, even Jeremiah and Jerome, but my god the writing was horrific and a lot of points the effects looked bad
@@ayrtonpietrobelli6972 I don't see any thing wrong with Gotham it's one of my favourite series right now
@@_thethinker5557 same im binge watching it
When you think about it, almost every Batman villain was bullied to the point where they became a bully. It’s actually kinda sad
That is sad to the max; obviously, it doesn't justify most of their actions, but still.
I don’t know if the joker was bullied or not tho
Scarecrow was never bullied. He was the bully.
@@lurkingShadows not entirely true
90% sure he wasn’t bullied
i liked Collin as the penguin particularity his accent sounds like a Brooklyn accent he looks like al capone and his mini series would be intriguing to watch but i wish we could get a movie of his backstory with batman in arkham city he clearly states the waynes destroyed the cobblepots and that personal connection makes for great storytelling
he acted like he didnt know the wayne family that intimately tho when he found out who bruce wayne was (funeral scene) and he shows zero resentment towards Bruce in the film (hes nice to him)
Penguin is definitely one of my favourite villains!
Danny Devitos Penguin was HAUNTING foo , i watched it as a kid & it was mad scary to me as a child
I just started watching Gotham. I love this character now, he's a genius. I'm so excited for the movie.
No matter how horrible of things some of Batman's villains do, I think it's almost completely justified by some of their origins. Penguin is the perfect example of that. I've always rooted for him in every story he's in.
What do you think is the best thing about the Penguin in the comics and which one of his abilities do you think is the best?
His ability to be an excellent mob boss and knowing how to kick arse with judo.
I'm just great at many thing arnt I
Who do you think did the childhood of the Penguin a living nightmare between his father, brothers and the school bullies? Who do you think he enjoyed getting revenge on?
The Penguin is a very interesting character in The Batman i never thought i would loved his character before, Matt reeves and Collin Ferrell did a great job with his character the Penguin in this movie is so charismatic and funny he became one of my favorite characters from the movie.
so you have seen the movie?
@@durellpowell3324 yes i have
@@edrama6623 Fuckin awesome dude, alas I have to wait until friday but let me ask you, is it as amazing as it looks.
@@durellpowell3324 imo it is, the best Batman movie ever it rivaled TDK.
@@edrama6623 Damn! Cant wait to see it.
Had a feeling for sure that The Penguin got an origin video for sure but maybe some more Batman Villain related videos would be necessary especially when knowing how The Batman has lived up to expectations.
he also now getting his own series I think
@@SCOOTTY_04 That’s true with Colin Farrel set to reprise the role for HBO Max but also an 80th Anniversary and I think an 80th Anniversary based on plenty of Batman Villains including Oswald Cobblepot with Danny Devito writing for Penguin’s Story Arc.
@@renatocosta8315 I heard it will be like a scar face movie which is awesome we get to see the rise of penguin
*penguin 🐧
What do you think the Penguin would be like if he telepathically controlled birds or had the power to turn into any kind of bird?
Absolutely terrifying 🤣 the thought alone
He would definitely rule Gotham if he could do this 🤣🧐
How about him being able to control both birds and being able turning into any species of birds@@jodiiperez9591
I respectfully disagree about Batman year one, while it is a great graphic novel to read, but Penguin was not in Batman year one, just to point out!
The Penguin is my second favorite Batman villain. Right below the Joker.
Legit tho from what I’ve heard , Colin Farrell knocks it out of the park as Penguin , but since we’re getting Mr Freeze next in the Reeves trilogy , god I really hope we get a good Mr Freeze since it’s been more than 20 years since he was in a live action Batman movie and god knows that was an absolute atrocity
I didn’t know they were planning a trilogy
Yes he did Collin Ferrell did a great job as Penguin his character is so good in this movie.
I love all the Batman it’s absolutely to actually pick a favorite out all of them
Can you do history of Alfred Pennyworth, Batwing, Flame Bird, Batwoman, Azrael, Signal(Duke Thomas), Bluebird, Stephanie Brown and Carrie Kelly?
Can’t believe this guy is getting his own series because of the new movie!
Also damn this dude had a messed up upbringing. At least his mom was ok enough.
10:19 holy shit I did NOT know that! Hmm interesting information.
You know what I'm thinking We should get a Batman series with Robert Patterson in HBO Max I want to see Batman fight other villains like scarecrow, Mad Hatter, Mr. freeze, poison ivy, Killer Croc, Black mask Batman got cool villains We never see these guys that often In movies
@@ajeshnilata1540 yep.
Damn, he gave Bats the slip in Round 1? Way to go Oswald!
Another great video and Rogue Son looks AMAZING!!
i just read the first issue this afternoon and i liked it too #ImageComics
I did not know how tragic and depressing his origin story is. Now I feel sorry for this fiction character and kudos to the writer. This proves that no matter what, you can not get away from past experience and its up to the being to let it define you or change for the better.
Can't wait to see this movie
Same. Seeing it on Saturday.
It’s on hbo max now
I just watched The Batman, it’s really good. Music is a highlight.
The Penguin keeps getting away with it because he has a friend who is an expert in bird law.
Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law.
@@b3ans4eva Charlie Kelly
I've always liked the Penguin. He's one of my favorite Batman foes!
Great Video. Hope to see a video of the riddler like this 1, since he is the main villain in The Batman movie
Joygasm!!!
So many of Batman’s Rogue’s Gallery were either picked on as a child or came from some sort of broken home.
Yeah now that I think about it 😅but, they live in Gotham and it's not the best place to live and his villains are really awesome
Someone like the bat himself
Probably due to the fact that a lot of DC writer’s experience this themselves and wanna emphasise how important a loving home is
They still made the choice to be criminals.
@@ianfinrir8724 true
What do you think Oswald Cobblepot would have been like if his father got him a Plastic surgeon to fix his big nose? Is he best at being a crime boss and getting ruffians to do his dirty work?
I think that could make him more insecure, since that would be like his father telling him he’s ugly. It would make him more bitter because he’d see how people might treat him better after getting a nose job, even if he’s still the same guy. I think the newer mob boss Penguin is best at hiring others for that since some versions of him play both sides (being a mob boss & informant for Batman/the cops). However the versions who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty are also great in their own ways.
Danny Devito will never be topped, but Farrell is a close second.
Been waiting on this
Since you are doing history of the characters who are going to appear in the Matt Reeves Batman movie with Robert Pattinson as the Dark Knight, can you please do history of Alfred Pennyworth in your next video? Who do you think should be the Robin for this trilogy?
Robin lord taylor 's Penguin is the best penguin of all time.
Gotta love Gotham City. Even without Batman you could make series after series on the city alone.
Gotham
@@spiddyman0079 which sucked
@@johnlawful2272 i didnt watch it. I did see the joker parts on youtube
@@johnlawful2272 It’s not that bad
@@spiddyman0079 His name is Jerome Valeska and he’s only inspriration for the Joker
Great video bro ! 🐧
been waiting for this vid.
Hi love your videos so much information ℹ️
My favorite version of the Penguin is the version that quacks a lot.
Been waiting on this one
The penguin has been my second favorite Batman villain only second to the Joker. Thanks to the Batman Arkham games series, media and comic books.
Only a few days left.😭
Pinguin does look good, like a mob boss.
YES!!! I knew you were going to make one about Penguin
Finally saw the penguin teaser just now and omfg I cannot wait!!!
Wakey, wakey Mr. Wayne..... aawww do yer need me to call yer butler?
-The Penguin, Arkham City circa. 2011
About time 😄❤
When are you going to do history of Marvel's Sandman and Kurt Conners the Lizard since they made a live action comeback in Spider-Man No Way Home along with the Elementals who were mentioned in Spider-Man Far From Home?
Can you do history of the villains of the Stargirl TV show like Mr_Bones, Dragon king, Brainwave and Icicle? When are you going to do history of the Flash Villains Mirror Master and Top since the second half of season 6 of the Flash has finished?
Can you do history of the Blackhawks, Rocket Red Brigade, Blue_Beetle, Mr Terrific and Plastic Man along with the history of the Villains Dr Alchemy and Abracadabra?
I’d just Ike to point out, he didnt actually kill those kids in Gotham Central, Harvey just thought he did. It was actually some old lady
Mr Freeze is supposed to be the next villain in Matt Reeves franchise. Hopefully he'll really be Mr Freeze or become him at some point. Be really cool if Reeves has the guts to do THE MR FREEZE.
Send the statement that his movies are indeed Batman movies. That they are indeed comic book movies and not tryna deny it.
I’d love to see a modern, grounded take on the character. However I feel like the more grounded version of him is Captain Cold. I’m sure it would be the most interesting iteration of a Batman rogue and I’d love to see it
@@football8897 Mr Freeze comic book form might not fit but at the same time it probably could. Mr Freeze is a complex human character and anti villain. So him being in comic book form or eventually reaching comic book form could maybe still work in a grounded setting without taking away from the emotion, humanity, and grounded tone of this universe.
@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu he’s a really interesting character with a lot of depth. It’s a shame his only live action iteration was the 90’s movie
Penguin became one of my fave Batman villains in One Bad Day : The Penguin
Robin Lord Taylor played the absolute best and most entertaining Penguin ever in "Gotham".
The penguin is one of my most batman favorite villains
I can’t wait to see the movie on Friday! Also can’t wait for his spin-off show. And why did you recommend year one? Penguin is not in that story.
you need to start covering Manga / Anime regularly bro ! your one of my favorite channels & im browsing it at least once a day but it’d be so fuckn clutch if y’all turned into a one stop shop for all my comic book / manga needs brody 💯💚☘️🍀
please do one of these for killer crock
Watching this makes me want to play the first Lego Batman game
Feel like this would’ve happened a long time ago
Yes
Y’know, If Oswald just got Nose surgery at Birth he wouldn’t be doing so Bad...
Danny Devito will always be my Penguin and of course his Batman The Animated Series version was awesome as well.
So glad the Penguin is getting his own spin off series!
Nice
Do History Of MODOK and Hit Monkey episodes.
I like the gotham series penguin he was amazing and portrayed the role perfectly in my opinion
The Batman boutta be so good
Sweet 👍
I love Nolan North’s version of the Penguin his cockney accent made the character
@VariantComics Do Wonder Woman villainess DC Circe origin video and history of Circe video.
So Oswald's father came from a socially high level family....
"I suppose it's true what they say; society is to blame. High society" -the Penguin Batman the Animated Series Ep. 47 "Birds of a Feather."
I'm still waiting on Joe Pesci to be cast as Penguin.
Too old!
To old bruh
@@imperiumgrim4717 That's why I said I'm still waiting. I've been wanting him to be mob boss Cobblepot since he started doing gangster movies. And now it's too late, unless they do Batman Beyond with an older Batman.
Cool
A sith lord, here ?
I enjoyed seeing the penguins all the time in batman series all the time he was a awesome i enjoyed seeing him in the batman movie and i really can't wait for the spin off series to i hope the graphics can be similar to scarface movie
I grew up with BATMAN and Batman Returns. I didn't know the original story for any of the villains unless they where explained in BTAS. So I assumed Penguins origin was that of the movie. I loved that version of the penguin but as an adult and a comic book reader I have grown to love the original version. Danny Daveto is my favorite actor to play the part but I love the sophisticated mob boss
Is Colin Farrel going to be as good as or better than Danny Devito as the Penguin? Which movie and show do you think did a great job in portraying him?
Robin Lord Taylor did an exceptional Penguin in Gotham.
@@nisarga9420 indeed
My favourite penguin
Danny Devito played penguin in Batman returns
If you heard of the gentleman pirate, it was just a rich guy who wanted to be a pirate because his life became hard after losing his family but he was an unsuccessful. Pirate look him up steed bonnet.
The best Oswald Cobblepot aka The Penguin in my opinion is the one from the hit TV show "Gotham"!
He post crisis story is basically Batman Returns Penguin
Do the batmobiles of movies and TV and comics
WHAT!!!???!!! I had no idea that was Collin Farrell. Great job guys.
As someone who likes comic stuff but never got too deep into Batman's or even DC stories. I have barely any idea of who Penguin is.
But if you're someone on a Comic YT channel comment section, I can understand why'd you believe that is the case.
Dang I'd love to have that shirt that Arris is rocking here
Not like that exact shirt but just one of it ya know
One doesn’t experience self transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates- 🎈
In the Gotham Central comic Penguin didn't kill or have the high school team killed, it is however later revealed who actually had the kids killed, if you read the comic you'll find out who it was.
Putting the wives tales of catching pneumonia with a wet head in the book. Most days in the winter I’d take a shower and then have to go to the bus stop. My hair was frozen every single day. I never caught pneumonia.
In my opinion Oswald Cobblepot Is The Best Mob Boss in the DC universe And This version Of Him is Way better than the One From Batman Returns The 2021 Penguin is Awesome a true Tribute to the Comics
The penguin one Batman enemy 🐧
I love Batman's all villens
I Lowkey hope they show this origin where he gets revenge on his bully in the Penguin series on HBOmax 🔥
Love u
Is penguin in batman year one, strange choice for a reading recommendation
Now do history of Vigilante,Judomaster and White Dragon
Can you look at the Origins and History of The Brain from Teen Titans\Doom Patrol🧠🤖
So... a bad guy comes from a childhood of abuse and bullying? Shocking. If that was all it was, he'd also be redeemable. Penguin, for some reason, just isn't redeemable... as if he's a comic book iconic bad guy or something.
The penguin is in production
Arris Did Everybody But Alfred Pennyworth. I've Been Begging Him To Do His Story For Years .
Wow
I watched the whole movie without realizing that was Colin Farrell.
