Why does Oz Cobb limp in The Penguin and Batman?
The Penguin, also known as Oz Cobblepot, suffers from a condition called clubfoot, which has caused him to limp since birth.
The first episode of The Penguin sheds light on The Penguin's limping condition. This detail is shown on screen when Cobblepot arrives at his house with Rhenzy Feliz's character, Victor Aguilar, after disposing of Alberto Falcone's body.
Recently, The Penguin showrunner Lauren LeFranc spoke about Cobblepot's condition with Digital SpyShe said: “What we establish in the first episode is that he has a clubfoot, and what I found interesting about that is that nowadays, often people get surgery and fix clubfoot. But in my opinion, his mother, who didn’t have a lot of money, decided that the difference in him would make him stronger. That he didn’t need to change any aspect of himself in that sense.”
The prosthetic makeup designer for the Penguin sets, Mike Marino, revealed to The wrapper In a recent conversation, Marino recounted that it took him about 20 minutes to design the clubfoot correctly. Even Collin Farrell praised the work done by Marino in designing the clubfoot. Farrell said, “It’s very lo-fi and yet very brilliant. It’s true practical art as envisioned by craftsmen. I don’t want to deny the advent of technology and its benefits in all kinds of realms of expertise, but the practical makeup that this guy designs and applies, what Dick Smith did, what Rick Baker did, all these geniuses. I just hope that all filmmakers choose to use practical stuff on camera.”
