Robin Lord Taylor, who plays The Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot in Gotham, announced today during the Warner Bros. Television panel at New York Comic-Con that Paul Reubens will play his father in Fox’s comic book-based television series. Reubens previously played The Penguin’s father, Tucker Cobblepot (original character for the film), in Tim Burton’s 1992 comic book movie Batman Returns.
