In the teaser trailer for the eight-part mini-series, which airs locally on BINGE, the iconic villain seizes control of Gotham City after the death of the town’s crime lord, Carmine Falcone.

“Carmine Falcone is dead, and I’m here now. I’ll be calling the shots,” the Penguin says in the trailer while visiting Salvatore “The Boss” Maroni (Clancy Brown) in prison.

“The Falcones are still licking their wounds. They’re distracted. Their business will be ripe for the taking.”

Oscar nominee Farrell has previously expressed his excitement at reprising the character he played in The Batman opposite Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz.

“The world that Matt Reeves created for The Batman is one that warrants a deeper gaze through the eyes of Oswald Cobblepot,” he said in a statement released earlier this year.

“I couldn’t be more excited about continuing this exploration of Oz as he rises through the darkened ranks to become The Penguin.”
