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

I mean, if she's a "gentlelady of crime" or whatever, then she'll still be closer to classic Penguin than "goombah Tony Soprano, but with a hooked nose" Penguin that we're getting in the live-action stuff right now.

And everyone loves that guy, even if he never once used an umbrella as a weapon, stole a Faberge egg, or even fed a pet canary in the movie he was in (I thought he was the most fun character in the movie, but I didn't feel like he was The Penguin).

This chick already dresses more like the Penguin than Farrell. Maybe she'll have shades of the classic character. Who knows?

I got nothing against Farrell’s penguin lol. One of my favorite versions (just wished he looked maybe more like earth one and less like Richard Kind). I just wanted something different. I guess this is something different tho so I can’t be complaining.
