Danny DeVito Is Writing a Penguin Comic Book Story for DC
Danny DeVito, who played Penguin in Tim Burton’s 1992 film Batman Returns, is set to write a new Penguin-centric comic book story for DC. The story will be for November's Gotham City Villains Anniversary Giant #1 anthology one-shot.
This is pretty awesome, and it will be the first time that DeVito will have played with the character in nearly 30 years! DeVito’s version of the Penguin is iconic, and his twisted portrayal of the Penguin continues to influence how the character is played with by other talents.
DeVito’s Penguin story will be part of a celebration of Gotham's greatest villains, which will also include other Batman villains including Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Talia al Ghul, the Mad Hatter, and the original Red Hood.
You can check out some art for the story featuring DeVito's Penguin by legendary artist Frank Quietly. Gotham City Villains Anniversary Giant #1 goes on sale on November 30.
