Take a Closer Look at Penguin and The Riddler in Matt Reeves' 'The Batman'
Paul Dano’s costume is eerily similar to the Zodiac Killer’s while Colin Farrell is almost unrecognizable.
Warner Bros. has shared new images of The Batman‘s Penguin and The Riddler ahead of the film’s premiere.
The imagery sees Paul Dano’s Edward Nigma/Riddler sporting an olive green theme with a coat that features the villain’s question mark motif and a matching leather mask — the latter of which draws comparisons to the early sketches of the Zodiac Killer. Meanwhile, Colin Farrell is barely recognizable as Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot/Penguin while he sits in a leather chair and wears his comics-accurate suit.
In late December 2021, director Matt Reeves revealed that Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne was inspired by late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. “That’s when it came to me that, rather than make Bruce Wayne the playboy version we’ve seen before, there’s another version who had gone through a great tragedy and become a recluse. So I started making this connection to Gus Van Sant’s Last Days, and the idea of this fictionalised version of Kurt Cobain being in this kind of decaying manor,” he explained.
Take a look at the images above. The Batman premieres March 4.
