Here’s How Jack Black Could Look As The Penguin In Matt Reeves’ The Batman

A digital artist imagined actor Jack Black as Batman villain The Penguin and here’s how he may look in the upcoming Matt Reeves’ The Batman film.

Although we’re still months away from knowing which actors will include the cast of Matt Reeeves’ The Batman, who will Bruce Wayne tackle next in the upcoming live-action film is one of the biggest questions fans are trying to answer. Last month, we confirmed that The Penguin wouldn’t be the only iconic Batman villain to appear in Matt Reeves’ movie. Recently actor Jack Black said he would very much like to play Oswald Cobblepot for it, so digital artist Jaxson Derr made a depiction of how he may look like with his top hat, monocle, and cigar, and it’s spot on:

Matt Reeves said recently that The Batman won’t feature one villain but rather a rogues gallery of them, which will include The Penguin and other characters yet to be confirmed. We haven’t seen a depiction of The Penguin on the silver screen since Danny DeVito interpreted Oswald Cobblepot in Tim Burton’s Batman Returns back in 1992. The most recent interpretation of The Penguin we have is currently from actor Robin Lord Taylor in the Gotham TV series on FOX.

It would make perfect sense to watch Jack Black pick up DeVito’s mantle as the mastermind criminal for this version of Batman. His prowess as an actor in films through the years have cemented himself as one of the most popular actors in Hollywood. It would be really interesting to see him bring The Penguin to life with his characteristic acting style.

Following Aquaman, which is now playing, the DCEU continues in April with Shazam! on April 5, 2019, which will be followed by Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) on February 7, 2020, and Wonder Woman 1984 on June 5, 2020. A standalone Joker film set outside of the DC Films universe starring Joaquin Phoenix as the Clown Prince of Crime is also set to hit theaters October 4, 2019.

Directed by James Wan, Aquaman stars Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry, Amber Heard as Mera, Willem Dafoe as Vulko, Patrick Wilson as Orm / Ocean Master, Dolph Lundgren as Nereus, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, Ludi Lin as Captain Murk, and Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry.

From Warner Bros. Pictures and director, James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be… a king.

Aquaman is now playing. We’ll let you know as soon as we have new information regarding Matt Reeves’ The Batman and its villains, so stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for more!

The Batman releases in theaters June 25, 2021.
