he was hiding under a bush in the park and I couldn't resist those big brown eyes... anyway back to Batman - have you guys seen the new trailer for The Dark Knight Rises? It's so epic! But seriously, Colin Farrell as Penguin is gonna be EPIC 
what do u think about the Sgt Rock project tho? 
. I mean, the Penguin in 'The Batman Part II' is gonna be straight fire 
. And let's be real, Robert Pattinson as Batman? It's a no-brainer, mate 
. He's got the whole brooding thing down pat. Now, about Sgt. Rock... I don't know what all the fuss is about 
. James Gunn's gotta do better than that next time 
.
i'm so hyped! but, like, have you seen the new Pokémon movie? 
it looks so sick. colin farrell as penguin is gonna be so cool. and i heard he's been doing some intense training for the role... anyway, back to The Batman Part II. does anyone know when we can expect the Sgt. Rock movie to come out again? 
I mean, can you imagine The Penguin in his full-on suit of armor? 
, i mean who wouldn't want to play sgt rock? 
but seriously, i'm hyped for the batman part 2 too! robert pattinson as batman is already killing it 
and colin's got a great villain in the penguin 
. can't wait to see how matt reeves weaves all these storylines together 
! Colin Farrell seems genuinely stoked about the Penguin role, and that script sounds like something special. Matt Reeves is known for his atmospheric direction, so I can already imagine how dark and gritty the sequel is gonna be. And yay for Robert Pattinson's character development – it's awesome to see a superhero actor take risks and grow with the role.
. He didn't seem too keen on James Gunn's DC Universe plans, but his interest in Challengers has me intrigued. Maybe this means we'll get a more grounded, serious take on the character? Either way, it's clear that Colin Farrell knows what he's doing as an actor – and I'm here for whatever project he decides to tackle next!
What makes him so special anyway? Just 'cause he played The Penguin in Batman 2 doesn't mean he's the only one who can rock Sgt. Rock. Give it to someone else, man!
