It'd be pretty interesting to see an impsosing penguin. Imo
No, not in the same way at all. I'd prefer the characters to look as intended, but a tall large penguin isnt something I'd be entirely against. Just as people had accepted gothams penguin.
Penguin should be an unimposing snitch in the new series. Batman allows him to operate in exchange for information.
there are some people. Never said a lot of people, or people here on the hype.Who are "people"?
At his core, The Penguin is a walking inferiority complex. Making him physically "imposing" kicks the legs from underneath that.
Humans. Mostly.Who are "people"?
Eddie Marsan's american accent in Miami Vice is... not good.
Michael Mando for Zsaz
Eddie Marsan would be a great choice for Penguin. I kinda liked the cockney thing they did with Penguin in the Arkham games and I think Marsan could pull that off.
The Penguin doesn't have to be British. But I feel it adds a bit of diversity.
And there's a British aura around him. Like he belongs on the Conservative Party (though I am a supporter of them )
Sure, but that's all aspiration. He's like the Frasier Crane of crime.
Speaking of Cranes, I am really beginning to feel Michael Cera as Scarecrow.
I would prefer Penguin to actually be a genuine Brit for the film.
His revamp from the animated series, while nothing spectacular, I loved it.
That's the way I would envision him. Not that grotesque and angry little hunchback from the Arkham games, who pathetically fakes an accent. I loved that interpretation for what it is, don't get me wrong, I would just love it more so if it stayed where it is, and that's in the Arkham series. Penguin is a gentleman of crime, not a thug. Though that is sort of being lost these days.
Between two actors, say for example - Ray Winstone and Toby Jones. Between those two, as we know, I'd pick Jones. Because he's the better representation of how close I'd want an actor to be, with all of his traits, for the Penguin.
Thanks to the Arkham games, fans want angry. I want cool.
Fans want a rough public school. I want Oxford.
Fans want cockney. I want posh.
Fans want grotesque. I want pitiful.
The differences end now. Fans want a monster from their preferred background and physical preferences. I also want a monster from my preferred background and physical preferences
