You know the Penguin is the type who later tracked down every single person that ever bullied him no matter how trivial the incident and made them all suffer for his amusement.

You will not see me making fun of the kid who looks like an alligator. That's cool as fuck and I'd either be his friend or scared of him.

I really loved the episode of the '90s Batman cartoon where Penguin tries to redeem himself and become an honorable man, only to have those aspirations destroyed by the cruel plans of fate. Oswald is a villain who, unlike the Joker, actually has a chance of becoming a good person.

The panel revealing Oswald resold Violet back to the slave cage genuinely made my heart jump. It's one of the only comic panels to actually disturb me

I absolutely LOVE how they draw the Penguin's face whenever he's angered, this sweet odd - almost cartoonish looking misunderstood boy turned absolute monster with sharp teeth that shows whenever he does a wicked grin, also I couldn't help but read all of Penguin's lines in an Ice King voice, fitting.

Don't laugh at anyone in Gotham, one second you laugh at a strange guy in a top hat and the next you're starring in the next Saw movie

So the ONE time the dream girl doesn't turn out to be another cruel joke of destiny, Oswald couldn't let go of the hatred? That is beyond sad

Note to self: never suggest being a comedian to the Penguin

Penguin is a character that has grown on me so much because of how he's depicted in a bit of a more down-to-earth 'if things had only gone better" character. Like Croc for example, his condition is so horrible that it's hard to imagine him re-integrating into society. But penguin is just a very ugly man, he feels like he could have actually become better.

This truly was tragic. All the Penguin ever wanted was to be loved, and Violet was proof that even someone like him was able to find love. But after letting himself become so twisted by society into the man he is now, he ensured that he won’t ever be able to have love he so desperately wants.

The idea of Batman doing Arkham combos on thugs while listening to the penguin talk about violet is funny to me

Penguin clearly has some anger management issues but, man, he’s also just unbelievably cruel

“Seeking some enjoyment for himself the penguin goes to a crime convention”

i really do love the modern interpertation of penguin. so often in media villains are ugly on the outside to reflect how ugly they are on the inside but thats a very shallow visual way of showing evil. evil people are very often civilized and aesthetically pleasing. what penguin shows is how this obsession with outer ugliness does to a person and how being seen by society as ugly on the outside has made a person who could've been a good man in another life into a rotten cruel vain person just like the people who hurt him when he was growing up.

Can you imagine how horribly Penguin would handle fighting Terry McGinnis.

Honestly, I like the build of Penguin. It's very different from other builds in the Batman Rouges' Gallery.

Penguin is unbelievably cruel for that ending, he absolutely could have just killed the girl, or better yet, he could have just let her leave, but no, simply for calling him out on his bs, he sent her directly to the place she wanted to be the least, he ended her nightmare only to start it up again. Pure cruelty.

If he did all that to a Chef for simply Laughing while he is around i can only imagine what he did to the people that bullied him while he was a kid or even the women that were using him for free meals and Drinks

You know perhaps if Oswald had kept his coposture and had a better hold on his more violent tendencies and he could perhaps have sought psychological help for the sake of his good relationship with violet(for as long it lasted in the story) something of a positive out come could have happened in this story

That last dialogue to the epilogue to this story sent a very specific chill down my spine.
