Batman Arkham: Penguin

Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot was bullied throughout his childhood and teased with the nickname ÒPenguinÓ for his unique features, his eccentric fashion and the umbrella that never left his side. An outcast among his peers, Oswald would retreat to his motherÕs bird shop, making friends of the feathered variety. Before long, he turned to a life of crime. Ruthless, vindictive, calculating and inventive, the Penguin presents himself as the sophisticated gentleman, but his need for respect and power is what truly drives him. From his bombastic beginnings as the master of ÒbirdÓ crimes to his emergence as one of Gotham CityÕs meanest gangsters, the Penguin remains one of BatmanÕs oldest and most brilliant foes.
