After the debut of the first trailer for “The Batman”, fans hoping to get a glimpse of Colin Farrell’s Penguin were disappointed when he was not seen in the teaser.
Or at least that’s how it turned out. As it turns out, Farrell actually the make an appearance – although most people who saw it probably did not know they saw it themselves.

That’s because in the trailer, unveiled Saturday during DC’s FanDome virtual presentation, the 53-year-old actor is briefly seen – but is unrecognizable with his face buried under prosthetic makeup.
According to Metro, writer Ben Mekler wrote that he was writing “The Batman” writer Mattson Tomlin, who confirmed that it was indeed Farrell among all those prosthetics.

Once the cat was out of the bag, several tweets surprised her about the prosthetically improved Farrell’s improper balance with ‘Spin City’ / ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ actor Richard Kind.
I mean, great job by the Batman makeup team on Colin Farrell and all, but wouldn ‘t it be easier to just hire Richard Kind? pic.twitter.com/Ppg3860ySt
