Colin Farrell, who will portray Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin in The Batman, revealed that the upcoming movie removed an iconic piece of the villain's wardrobe.

"There's no top hat [in The Batman]," Farrell revealed in an interview with Empire alongside his co-stars Paul Dano and Zoë Kravitz, who will also play staples of Batman's rogues gallery, the Riddler and Catwoman, respectively. "There is one scene where I have an umbrella in my hand, but it doesn't have a trigger on the handle. He does have a limping gait, so there is somewhat of a waddle there. But Oz is not yet fully inhabiting the mythology of the Penguin and doesn't take too kindly to the monicker."

Prior to this, Farrell also revealed how many scenes in the movie he would be in. "I'm only in it for five or six scenes [as Penguin], so I can't wait to see the film 'cause it won't be ruined by my presence," he said. "It's a freebie for me. I'll get a little uncomfortable for the fucking nine minutes I have and then the rest I cannot wait to see how [writer/director Matt Reeves] brought this world to life."

It was confirmed earlier this year that The Penguin will receive a spinoff series on HBO Max, which will serve as his origin story, though a deal has yet to be finalized between Farrell and HBO Max. This would be the second spinoff from The Batman, as the movie will also reportedly launch a series centered on the Gotham City Police Department.

Farrell is not the only actor from The Batman to discuss a significant detail of a Batman villain's character design. In a recent interview, Kravitz explained her own unique take on Catwoman's signature claws. "We shot two months before quarantine and everything shut down, so in that time, I started to grow my nails out because we couldn't get manicures and then I had this idea to take it further...so I called Matt and was like, I have this idea, we should do crazy, bitchy, wonderful scary nails that looked like claws," she explained. "No nail polish on them, so they looked more like claws, and we were able to incorporate it last minute."

As for the film itself, a recent rumor claims that a sequel has been greenlit. However, The Batman star Robert Pattinson recently talked about his own plans regarding his character Bruce Wayne, which would be spread across two sequels. "I've made a kind of map for where Bruce's psychology would grow over two more movies," he said. "I would love to do it."

Directed and co-written by Matt Reeves, The Batman opens in theaters on March 4, 2022.
