Danny DeVito gives his thoughts on The Penguin in Gotham

January 19, 2015 by Luke Owen

Originally published January 19, 2015. Updated April 13, 2018.

While many have not been overly keen on the TV show Gotham, there has been overwhelming praise for the work of Robin Lord Taylor’s portrayal of a young Penguin.

Back in 1992, Danny DeVito played the iconic role in Tim Burton’s Batman Returns, and he was asked what he thought about Taylor’s Penguin.

“I’ve watched the show. I think he’s a very good young Penguin,” DeVito told Access Hollywood. “He’s a terrific actor.”

It was announced last month that Mark Hamill would be returning to The Flash to reprise his role of The Trickster, but would DeVito be interested in appearing in Gotham in some capacity? “I don’t know about that,” DeVito said. “Again, it’s all about the schedules and the parts and like how the thing is written and what it would be and there are so many particulars.”

Based upon characters published by DC Entertainment and produced by Warner Bros. Television, GOTHAM is an origin story of the great DC Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. Starring Ben McKenzie (“Southland,” “The O.C.”), Donal Logue (“Sons of Anarchy,” “Terriers,” “Vikings,” “Copper”) and Jada Pinkett Smith (“The Matrix” films, “HawthoRNe”), GOTHAM follows one cop’s rise through a dangerously corrupt city teetering on the edge of evil and chronicles the birth of one of the most popular super heroes of our time. Executive producer Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist”) wrote the pilot, which was directed and executive-produced by Emmy Award nominee Danny Cannon (the “CSI” franchise, “Nikita”). John Stephens will serve as an executive producer on the series.
