In the finished film, Farrell’s appearance is utterly obliterated in the role of Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot, the scarred and dumpy mid-level Gotham City gangster with the nickname of “the Penguin.” But when the 55-year-old director — who co-wrote “The Batman” with Peter Craig — first approached Farrell for the role, he was focused on Farrell’s ability to bring grit and sensitivity in the same performance.
Reeves turned to prosthetic makeup artist Michael Marino to design a look for Farrell’s Penguin. Reeves cited Cazale, Sydney Greenstreet and Bob Hoskins as potential inspirations. “I saw him as being almost like a throwback Warner Bros. gangster,” he says. Makeup artist Naomi Donne is no stranger to Marino’s work — the two have collaborated before — but this transformation also blew her away. “Mike went off and designed this character based on lots of different faces,” she says. “I don’t think I’ve ever stood in front of someone in makeup like that and forgotten it was makeup. I believed that makeup completely.”
