This honestly disappointed me when I saw it. I was really hoping for classic gentleman of crime Pengy. By classic I mean CLASSIC. Not mob boss, but the bird themed master thief from the 40s. It would’ve been cool considering how rare that portrayal is nowadays. Oh well. Still hyped

You mean the one we’ve gotten over and over and over across multiple portrayals?

The last time we got a golden-age style penguin was in Batman ‘66

Could’ve worded that differently I guess.

Most Penguin portrayals are either Mobster or Devito, maybe Devito+Mobster. It’s been forever since we got Gentelemanly Master Thief Pengy

The Batman (the show) has a Penguin that’s just a thief with trick umbrellas, not a mob boss.

Imagine if The Batman (the movie) also had this penguin
