The Penguin – Gotham’s refined criminal mastermind

First appearing in Detective Comics #58 in 1941, The Penguin — Oswald Cobblepot — is one of Batman’s most enduring foes. Unlike Gotham’s chaotic or monstrous villains, the Penguin is calculated, elegant, and ruthlessly strategic.

A disgraced aristocrat turned crime boss, he hides his cruelty behind impeccable manners and tailored suits. His signature umbrellas, modified into weapons and gadgets, reflect his theatrical subtlety. As owner of the Iceberg Lounge, he blends high society with organized crime, ruling through influence rather than insanity.

From Burgess Meredith’s camp charm to Danny DeVito’s grotesque menace and Colin Farrell’s gritty mobster, the Penguin remains a core figure of the Batman mythos — the face of Gotham’s old-school criminal elite.
