After the heartbreaking finale ofThe Penguin, a user on X (formerly Twitter) has created an incredible image depicting Robert Pattinson’s Batman dealing out a swift punishment to Colin Farrell’s Penguin.The Penguindelivers an insightful look into the dark goings-on in Gotham after the events of 2022sThe Batman. While Oz Cobb is initially introduced in the film, his story is thoroughly fleshed out in the spin-off series,The Penguin.
However, the closer the audience got to see theinner workings of Oz Cobb, and his insatiable ambition, the more horrifying he became. Oz may not take specific pleasure in killing others, or orchestrating peoples' downfall, but he also lacks any sense of shame or guilt when it comes to these things.Oz will do unspeakable things to get what he wants, and because of his ambition, he deems them necessary. As a result, this led to him brutally murdering his dear friend and ally Victor Aguilar in the series finale, which led one artist on X to draw up the following image.
What The Penguin Art Means
The Brawl Between Penguin & Batman
The image shows Batman and Penguin getting into an all-out brawl. While Penguin initially steps up with a gun in hand, he isno match for the expert fighter Batman, who disarms him and delivers a powerful blow directly to his face.

While the image doesn’t directly state that this is a response toPenguin’s actions in the finale, the small text box which sees Batman saying “You’re Sick” to Penguin implies that something heinous has occurred. However, having beenshared shortly afterThe Penguinfinale aired, it’s reasonable to assume it was imagined as a follow-up to those specific events.

Oz Cobb has become one of the most terrifying villains in recent memory, and The Penguin’s showrunner addresses his DC future in The Batman 2.
And as a response, this image is incredibly satisfying to see Batman capture and hold Penguin to account. While his violent tendencies and cruel ways were clear before the show, the finale made it even more viscerally clear just how far Penguin is willing to go to get what he wants. And if that means wiping out people that he has a genuine love for, then Penguin deserves to have The Dark Knight drop in on him and teach him a lesson. However, it remains to be seen what the encounter between these two will look like going forward afterThe Penguin.
