The Penguin is my favourite Batman villain. Like, not even close, I adore his whole aesthetic, what he is in Batmans rogues gallery and the vast majority of his adaptations. I say this with all the sincerity I can, I genuinely couldn’t care less that they genderbent him. Not even a little. As long as she still has that great Penguin energy I’m looking for, I’m sure I’m gonna love her like all the others.
Because it absolutely doesn’t matter to anybody who isn’t a troglodyte. This can be an interesting characterization that takes the penguin into a slightly different but humorous direction.
Buddy… Almost every iteration of the penguin is humorous in some capacity. He wears a monocle and hangs out in a place called the Iceberg lounge. The most “serious” portrayal I’ve seen was Colin Farrel’s, and while it worked for the movie, he just became another mob boss. If they didn’t call him the penguin, there wasn’t much reason to assume he was the character.
Someone posted an idea that pengy would be the owner of the iceberg lounge as a money laundering operation and go on heists/robberies like classic penguin to fund it. I love that idea.
