Returning to his role as Batman villain Oswald Cobblepot for his own spin-off movie “The Penguin,” Colin Farrell is stirring buzz with new on-set photographs.

The suave heartthrob looks completely unrecognizable in SFX makeup that both ages and uglies Farrell and pays homage to the subtle but undeniable skill of SFX artists.

In a new round of pictures, Cobblepot’s signature limp is reinforced by leg braces visible just under the hem of Farrell’s pant leg, proving the show’s dedication to the source material.
