GOTHAM: First Look At Paul Reubens As The Father Of 'The Penguin'
Last October we found put that Paul Reubens, AKA Pee-Wee Herman, would once again play Oswald Cobblepot's father after appearing as a different incarnation of the character in Batman Returns. Now, Gotham producer Danny Cannon has given us our first look at him in the role...
In a fun nod to Tim Burton's Batman sequel, Paul Reubens will play Oswald Cobblepot/the Penguin's (Robin Lord Taylor) poppa in an upcoming episode of Gotham. In that movie, Reubens' Tucker Cobblepot and his wife decide to throw a baby Penguin into the river rather than raise the evil little shit.
Obviously Penguin has a very different relationship with his mother Gertrude (Carol Kane) on the show, so it should be interesting to see how Mr. Cobblepot factors into things. Here's our first glimpse of the actor in his Gotham duds alongside Taylor, courtesy of Danny Cannon.
Gotham returns with all-new episodes, February 29th on FOX.
