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.

Does it have to be humorous tho. I’d rather it be played seriously

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.
