If you’ve watched the first episode of The Penguin, then you already know not to laugh at Oz Cobb ( Colin Farrell) to his face, but another thing you definitely shouldn’t do is call him “The Penguin” out loud. According to showrunner Lauren LeFranc, Cobb has some very personal reasons why he should never be referred to by his comic book moniker. The hit HBO series changed the iconic Batman villain’s name (from Oswald Cobblepot to Oz Cobb) to ground the character within Matt Reeves’ The Batman universe. But, the character has kept his comic book nickname, The Penguin…just don’t let him hear you say it.
