IGN recently spoke to the creative team behind HBO's The Penguin about bringing the saga of Oz Cobb (played once again by Colin Farrell) from the big screen to streaming. Matt Reeves, who directed 2022's The Batman which introduced this new live-action incarnation of the iconic DC Comics baddie, has called the spin-off "a gangster story" that offers "a version of Oz Cobb that was not like anything you'd seen in any of the other iterations."
