The guy from Gotham owned that character in a way danny devito never could because devito only got to play him for a short period of time during the shooting of batman returns where as the guy from Gotham has played him for years
Devito with mad respect for Taylor. Maybe because that was my 1st Batman but those sewer scenes and the way he appeared on the big screen when I was a teenā¦he āwasā the penguin.
Definitely the one from Gotham
Iām surprised this thread lives!
Iām going to throw in my love for Gothamās Penguin as well. Itās such an interesting take on the character and I love how much development he gets.
I gotta throw my hat in on this one, DeVito killed it in Returns.
I love them both! Makes it So tough to choose a cosplay though.
True dat
With DeVitoās version, I remember there was outrage over the Penguinās origin since his parents abandoned him.
I have to go with Taylorās rendition, mostly because heās thinner than most renditions of the Penguin. It added more for me, particularly when he would kill people.
But I am glad i scanned the thread because my first Penguin is Burgess Meredith. Which is where most of the Penguins to follow sort of followed suit.
I will also make mention of the Penguin on The Batman animated series (in this one, Batman is voiced by Rino Romano) just because of a speech he gives about performing a crime involving a bird related stunt or gag and he goes on describing the formula. For lack of a better term, it is rather meta.
Neither, Burgess Meredith is the best penguin.
Devito was playing a guy who thinks heās a fish and wants to kill all first borns by becoming Mayor. Very Tim Burton escā¦but not comic book Penguin in the slightest.
I really enjoyed Gothamās Penguin.

How did I not see this post? I gotta go with Burgess Meredith, he was the actor that made me a fan of the character. Danny Devito was also great. Wish Penguin was in a Christopher Nolan Batman film, glad to hear he might be in the next Batman film, canāt wait to see whoāll play him.
