One of the major differences between Matt Reeves' The Batman in 2022 and the Lauren LeFranc spinoff series The Penguin is the recasting of crime boss Carmine Falcone, originally played by John Turturro in the film, but recast with Mark Strong in the role, largely in flashbacks given the character's fate in the Reeves' film[...]
