And now that the show has ended, fans are desperate for a second season, describing the finale as one of the best things DC has ever done.

Fans responded to It's a perfect ending, but it's one that will be remembered for a long time. “The Batman universe has a bright future ahead of it.”

While others said the show should win awards and they only got compliments, they commented: “The Penguin S1.” 10/10″ and “The Penguin must win every award there is.”

Others couldn't believe the finale and called it poetry: “Bro, that ending.” The Red Wedding was a real shock. This…this ending is poetry. Like a crib, damn it, #ThePenguin'.

Fans may not have to wait long for another episode of the hit series after Colin revealed he would like to star in another series.

He told The Hollywood Reporter: “When there’s a great idea [for season two]and the writing was really muscular and as strong or stronger on the page than the first season, of course I would.”

He explained that he was convinced to commit to another series after seeing the reaction from fans.

The Irish actor previously expressed doubts about the possibility of reprising his role, admitting he had an “outburst” on set and feared he wouldn't be welcomed back, but has since allayed those fears

“For me, the bar for success is not very high. It's, “Do most people like it?” – just the simplicity of it.

“I love being in things that are critically acclaimed – it’s much better than the alternative – but I’ve been around long enough.” [to know] that it is the audience that is truly the most important critic.”

When asked in September if he would return for another season during a new interview with Total filmSaid Farrell: “I don’t know, man.”

“Don't get me wrong – I loved it – but it affected me a little.” “By the end I was cursing and complaining to anyone who would listen that I damn well wanted it to be finished,” there was he too.

“I tried to remind her that I felt “sullen gratitude.” “I was still grateful and still honored,” Colin insisted.

He added that he “grew up” with Burgess Meredith's portrayal of the Penguin in the original Batman TV series, adding that Danny DeVito from Tim Burton's 1992 film Batman Returns was “my Penguin.”

And now that the show has ended, fans can't wait for the second season and are praising the show as one of the best shows DC has ever made

“Being part of the tradition of this storytelling made me feel really privileged.” But in the end…” he said with a pause, with the interview claiming, “he practically turns purple at the memory.”

“It's not that I didn't know who I was and that I went out and set cars on fire and stuff, but… if you take what (The Batman director) Matt Reeves created and what (The Penguin -Showrunner) Lauren (“LeFranc) and Mike (Marino, prosthetics and makeup designer) and putting it all together was a truly powerful experience,” said Farrell.

While the prosthetic suit was clearly a cumbersome affair, it was equally important for him to be ready to get back into the headspace of this villainous character, something he may not be ready to do right away.

But fans of the series will have to wait a while until they see the In Bruges star in his penguin suit again, as his return for Reeves' The Batman 2 was recently confirmed

“Lauren said, 'Look, if I could find a way that made sense, would you talk about it?' And I said, 'Absolutely.' And maybe in a year I would,” Farrell admitted.

“But when I finished, I thought, 'I never want to wear that damn suit or that damn head again,'” Farrell admitted.

Despite committing to the film, the star admitted he hadn't even read a script and didn't originally expect to be asked back, but was excited and nervous to see what filmmaker Matt Reeves had planned for his character has.
