Whereas we’ve seen Gotham depicted on display screen numerous instances earlier than, it’s by no means seemed as villain-clogged or as nasty as this, with the Bat encountering a number of baddies from his rogues gallery, together with the Riddler (Paul Dano), Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz) and Oswald Cobblepot, aka the Penguin (Colin Farrell ― sure, that’s really him beneath all these prosthetics).

“I don’t want her to be an idea, you know, I want her to be a real human being in a real situation in a real city trying to survive and reacting to her own pain,” Kravitz mentioned of her character throughout a panel at DC FanDome, in response to Variety.
