double take
BATMAN fans have been left stunned after a Hollywood star looked completely unrecognisable in the iconic film's spin-off.
Irish actor Colin Farrell, 46, has resumed his role as DC Comics villain The Penguin for the movie of the same name, with the HBO Max trailer released this week.

Yet with the heavy prosthetics, make-up and receding hairline wig required to play the role of Oswald Cobblepot aka Penguin, Colin looked completely different from his suave self.
His character gained the creepy nickname for his bird-like appearance.
Details for the plotline have not yet been released but it is believed to centre on Gotham City being in chaos.
The star has filmed scenes in New York and the disturbing new trailer begins by panning out to the Gotham skyscape.

Colin's character can be heard saying: "This is one of those moments you’ve got to ask yourself, what kind of life do I want?
"The world ain’t built for guys like us."
After scooting into a building away from the rain, it appears all may not be straightforward for The Penguin.
He is seen being bundled by a gang and threatened by a knife.

Yet that doesn't stop The Penguin eerily hailing himself "the new Kingpin of Gotham" in a chilling comment as the trailer wraps.
Back in 2020, fans had the same complaint about the Phone Booth star as he again transformed into the baddie.
Usually chiselled actor Colin looked plumper around the middle and was potentially wearing a 'fat suit' as he carried a large umbrella.
He looked terrifying as he walked alongside Robert Pattinson who was playing the lead role of Bruce Wayne/Batman.
At the time, one fan spluttered on Twitter: "The craziest thing about The Batman trailer is that this is Colin Farrell."
Colin joins a long list of illustrious actors to take on the role of Penguin including Danny DeVito in the 1992 film, Batman Returns.
