Prime Video has revealed Minnie Driver as the voice of Oswalda Cobblepot, a.k.a. The Penguin, during the Batman: Caped Crusader panel at San Diego Comic-Con.
The panel for the highly anticipated new animated series started with a video message from executive producer Bruce Timm, who welcomed fans to the panel and kicked off the world premiere screening of the first episode, where Oswalda was revealed for the first time. Following the screening, executive producer Matt Reeves and Driver, alongside fellow voice cast members Hamish Linklater (Batman/Bruce Wayne) and Jamie Chung (Harley Quinn/Dr. Harleen Quinzel) had a lively conversation about the show and the roles they have in it.
The dedicated panel followed Friday’s debut of a sneak peek clip at the end of the “Adapting Fan Favorites: A Conversation with Prime Video’s Adult Animation Creators” panel that also featured Invincible, Hazbin Hotel, The Legend of Vox Machina and Sausage Party: Foodtopia.

Synopsis: Welcome to Gotham City, where the corrupt outnumber the good, criminals run rampant and law-abiding citizens live in a constant state of fear. Forged in the fire of tragedy, wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne becomes something both more and less than human — the Batman. His one-man crusade attracts unexpected allies within the GCPD and City Hall, but his heroic actions spawn deadly, unforeseen ramifications.
The series is a reimagining of the Batman mythology through the visionary lens of executive producers J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves and Bruce Timm. Based on DC characters, Batman: Caped Crusader hails from Warner Bros. Animation, Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions and Reeves’ 6th & Idaho. Along with Abrams, Reeves and Timm, executive producers include Ed Brubaker, James Tucker, Daniel Pipski, Rachel Rusch Rich and Sam Register.
