Special:Badtitle/NS90:Talk:Complete Monster/Batman Arkham Series/Concerning Penguin

Turns out there's a comic series called Batman: Arkham Unhinged, and Penguin is given two redeeming traits, a love for birds that makes him go as far as to explicitly forbid his henchmen from killing any and being pissed off with the Joker for killing a waitress in his Iceberg Lounge that he appeared to like. However, thanks to events that flat-out defy continuity (Stories such as Arkham City Sirens, and Vicki in Wonderland all have material that contradict the games' canon) along with a story being flat-out retconned out of existence (Assault on Arkham retconned Operation: Kill Joker), the comics are considered non-canon and thus these moments shouldn't be used against Penguin (For the record, the waitress incident DID happen in Arkham City, but we only know about it from a written small story about it, and the Penguin's rage seems to come more from him feeling disrespected than for concern for the waitress's life from what it showed. When Penguin acknowledges it in one of Unhinged's stories, it still seems to be the same feeling of disrespect (He goes from getting on Joker's case for overreacting to a waitress's accident to accusing Joker of humiliating him) and using him calling the dead waitress "Dearly Departed" as evidence to disqualify him is grasping at straws).
