Colin Farrell is playing Penguin? :eek:

Yep.

The following are all of the confirmed casted DC characters:

Robert Pattinson - Bruce Wayne/Batman
Zoe Kravitz - Selina Kyle/Catwoman
Paul Dano - Edward Nashton/Riddler
Colin Farrell - Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin
Andy Serkis - Alfred Pennyworth
Jeffrey Wright - Commissioner Gordon
John Turturro - Carmine Falcone

I still think Serkis is being wasted by playing Alfred.

He should've played an antagonist like Penguin or Hugo Strange.

Come on, he was born to play Penguin. Just look at him!

I have mixed feelings about Robert Pattinson tbh. His voice isn't it when it comes to Batman and I felt my eyes roll a bit with his vengeance line, he just doesn't have a deep enough voice, I think. His Bruce Wayne look is a bit off as well, he doesn't look like the playboy millionaire he's pretending to be. I did like how he looked when he took his mask off though, some very good face acting there. I don't think he's particular well suited to play the character but he's definitely a good enough actor to change my mind.

This looks great! Really looking forward to it!

As trailers go, it's better than a lot of modern ones which give away most of the movie's plot ... I know only about a quarter of this was filmed before lockdown, but still :joker:

The Riddler's real name is meant to be Edward Nygma, and having a riddle-based villain called E. Nygma is a bit on the nose, so I can see why they changed that :joker: though I always assumed it was an alias anyway.

With it being early in Batman's career, featuring the Riddler, and having Bats on a motocycle, it makes me wonder if it's gonna be a take on the Zero Year storyline from the comics.

The black kid is Duke Thomas, who then-writer Scott Snyder (no relation) really wanted to be the new Robin, but he wasn't allowed to use anyone but Damian Wayne... He was allowed to turn him into his own hero, called Signal, and he did wear a customised Robin outfit for one or two storylines though. With movies wanting to diversify their cast, Duke could be the movie's Robin?

On a similar note, I've never really given a crap about race-bending when it comes to casting, so Commissioner Jim Gordon doesn't bother me, but I really love Babs Gordon aka the first Batgirl being a redhead :joker: in the comics she was originally adopted, and Jim's biological niece, so she could technically still be a ginge if they use her character.

....I got slight Eddie Cullen vibes, I'm not going to lie :worry:. I really hope it doesn't happen too often in the film :joker:

I hope they do what they did with Batfleck and deepen his voice in post (which makes sense, Bruce Wayne is famous, people would know his voice so for him to use a voice changer is sensible). He just sounds too.... watery as Batman. The line would have worked better if it was said with a more typical Batman growl.

In case you missed him, or didn't recognise him like I did, this is Colin Farrell's Penguin.

Holy crap!

I've seen the trailer. I think this looks really good!

He looks good as Batman tbh. He does look abit weird as Bruce Wayne though.

Always dark, though

Woah!! Had no idea. That’s mad.

Were there any glimpses of Dano’s Riddler?

Looking forward to this one.

I swear at first I thought this was supposed to be a picture of the same guy like "pre-villain" and was meant to be part of a backstory when he was a normal businessman :joker:. Didn't notice that the other images were quoted and this was a reply.

:skull:

No, unfortunately. I hope he'll be revealed in the next trailer.

Bye. :skull:

Release has been pushed back/delayed until March 2022.

Trailer:

Actually looks phenomenally good.

The cinematography is mind blowing. We’re in for a real treat here.

Robert Pattinson will be a brilliant Batman, Paul Dano is pretty much phenomenal in everything he’s in so he’s going to be a cracking Riddler.

Colin Farrell is completely unrecognisable as Penguin - brilliant.

it does look good
