ImMostly his stature. Penguin is typically a short, squat man around 5-feet or so. Sure, classically he's portrayed as wearing a tuxedo with a top hat and monocle, but that would look ridiculous in Reeve's "grounded" world. I remember when Jonah Hill was rumored for the part, which he may have even been offered, who knows. Hill is one of those actors who fits the expected archetype. However, the same argument could have been made against casting 5'9" Tom Hardy as Bane which worked out quite well for the film. I'm sure Colin Farrell in prosthetics will do an amazing and convincing job, I just don't know if I'll necessarily want a figure for the collection. Too early to tell.
That said, I'd still like to see HT produce '92 DeVito Penguin and a '66 Burgess Meredith Penguin.
The opposite. Tom Hardy bane was the least intimidating bane I’ve ever seen on film. Yes even b&r bane was more intimidating. Batman should have beat his little ass in his sleep.
