It has been known for a little while now that Colin Farrell (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) will be playing The Penguin in Matt Reeves’ The Batman. However, when the first teaser was revealed fans had a hard time believing it was actually him.
Finally, fans can have some clarification as Mike Marino a prosthetic makeup designer who worked on The Batman made the following Instagram post showing the Penguin in the film while also putting the hashtag #colinfarrell.

The Complete Transformation of Colin Farrell to the Penguin
The fact that this is indeed Colin Farrell in The Batman teaser is just stunning.
The make-up department has really outdone themselves with the transformation of Farrell into the Penguin considering it became a whole online debate of whether it was even him or not.
The transformation reminds me of what they did to Christian Bale in Vice to make him look like former Vice-President Dick Cheney. Considering Vice was able to snag the Academy Award for Best Make-Up and Hairstyling I think this feat is amazing for The Batman.
