Set me guess: Selina would've been Catwoman, Temple would have been Clock King, and Eddie would've been Riddler, right?

Not a bad idea. Penguin is certainly a lot better as the mob boss he is now in the comics than the gimmick villain he was in the Silver Age.

Unfortunately, Nolan doesn't like Penguin - thinks he's unrealistic for some reason. I mean, I'd get that if he were talking about 60's Penguin, but Modern Penguin is one of the most realistic villains Bats has.

Arkham City

Cobblepot was standing in his office looking over a dimond, a trouphy of his from his early days when he was still climbing the ladder of Gotham's underworld.

"Petty." He thought to himself as he turned it over. "This was once a nearly priceless artifac, something that was so speciale that I actually had to fight Batman just to keep it, and now in here it's a useless rock. Well maybe not useless, I'm sure it's hard enough to bash Batman's skull in when he gets here."

His raddio then began to crackle as a voice with a thick Russian accent made it over the static. "Mr. Cobblepot, this is Sickle calling in sir."

"Go ahead Sickle." Replied Cobblepot to his new numble two.

"My team and I just fought Batman in the war room."

"I take it he deffeated you and saved Mr. Freeze."

"Yes sir, just as you planned."

"Good, now go assemble the men and take Two Face's hide out while I keep the Bat busy."

"Are you sure you want to face the Batman alone?" Asked Sickle with genuiren concern for his boss and mentor. "I could leave you with at least one squad of men and still take the court house."

"I thank you for your concern Sickle, but as I told you before we need Batman alive long enough to deffeat Strange and the Joker. Afterwards when Batman is weak and tired we can kill Bruce Wyane without any trouble, and if that means I have to take a few lumps, then I will gladly do so." Answered Cobblepot. "Besides, even if Two Face is an insane fool, we still need to be carfule. With its stone walls and oak doors, that court house is built like a fortress. Which is exactly why I want to use it as a stepping stone for our invasion of Joker's territory, and remember if the rumors are true and you find Catwoman's loot in there just give it back to her. We do not need to make another enemy tonight. Now go."

"Yes Penguin." And then the radio went silent.

Cobblepot placed the diamond on his desk and walked over to his closet were he exchanged his heavy winter fur coat for a bullet proof jacket and armed himself with fairly none leathle weapons, like peper spray and brass knuckles. He then picked up Freeze's combosome freeze gun.

"God, why does he use this thing?" He said to himself as he looked himself over in the mirror. "Its big, heavy, nearly impossible to aim, and the ammo alone cost a fortune. You would think a scientist as smart as he is would understand that. Oh well, it will serve my purpeses for tonight at least. Later I can see if I can find someone to design a smaller virsion my men. You know I should add that to my list before I leave."

Taking his I-Pad off his desk, Cobblepot add that to his notes while at the sametime running down his to-do list until he reached the part about having his ass handed to him by Batman to keep his focuse off him. Placing the I-Pad back on the desk, the Penguin groined to himself, "This is going to bloody hurt." Before putting on his signiture top hat and walked outside to face his enemy.:


I hope you don't mind my writting, I do this sometimes when I see a perticuarly good peice of art work. I just wish they had used our design for the Penguin in Arkham, instead of the raving lunitic they gave us. I mean yes he was cool and scary looking, but when I heard we would be given the chance to fight the Penguin I was thinking would be given the chance to fight an intellegent, evil, perfectionest who could match the Dark Knight in both brain and brawn. Instead we get this cowardly little midget who acts tough but reallies only on brute force, rage, and his minions to do his dirty work. I mean he doesn't even wear armor when fighting Batman and then gets knocked unconsions from a couple of hits.

Amazing vision. Only one better in my opinion is one from Arkham City. But still, your is better than most of them!

funny thing,this is close to the arkham city version

You have any ideas for Freeze?

I wonder... if the creators of Arkham City took a look at this when creating their penguin...

Great Drawing~

This looks surprisingly similar to Arkham City's penguin. I must consider you physic in a way.

Nice work.
