Colin Farrell fought hard to have his version of The Penguin smoke tobacco in The Batman (2022) but was unsuccessful. For his own series however, the character will be depicted as an occasional tobacco user, with a preference for cigars.
Colin Farrell is the second actor to play The Penguin in live action to be seen smoking tobacco after Burgess Meredith in Batman (1966) and Batman: The Movie (1966). Although promotional material for Danny DeVito's portrayal in Batman Returns (1992) had him smoking, in the actual film he did no such thing and even rejected the habit.
After Robin Lord Taylor's portrayal in the series Gotham (2014), Colin Farrell's version of The Penguin is the only other live action portrayal of the character to have an active and major role in the mafia, as Burgess Meredith's was a super villain looking for money and power, and Danny DeVito's was a deformed terrorist looking for revenge on the city of Gotham.
Colin Farrell had been considered to play Bruce Wayne / Batman in what would have been the late Wolfgang Petersen's Batman versus Superman film in the early 00's.
