→Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot
Line 562:
[[File:Arkham_Penguin_5512.jpg|frame]]
* [[Asshole Victim]]: He suffers a ''lot'' of violence at the hands of Batman, whether it's having his hand broken, punched out right after that, being uppercutted off of a balcony, or having the tar beaten out of him. And all of it is completely deserved.
* [[Bad Boss]]: He lets some of his goons know that Batman is coming for them... and laughs about it. Shortly after, he has all the bridges detonated to slow Batman down, and doesn't give a crap that this puts several of his men at the mercy of the Joker's crew. In addition, one of the mooks says in the Penguin's debut trailer "You think the Joker's bad? Wait until Penguin deals with him! Penguin's an animal", which carries the implication that he's even worse of a boss than even [[The Joker]], the latter of whom is definitely no saint in terms of being a boss.
* [[Bald of Evil]]
* [[Break the Haughty]]: Spends a lot of time as smug as can be, but is consistently humiliated and beaten until he's been trapped in one of his museum cases.
* [[Bullying a Dragon]]: The first thing he does onscreen in ''City'' is have Bruce Wayne knocked out and dragged over to his headquarters to be executed. Of course given that this is Batman, he gets his hand broken and is also knocked out for his trouble. Even worse for him, he was completely showed up by a guy in handcuffs!
* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: Penguin freezes a cop's hand and smashed it with a hammer while using a P.A. system to let Batman hear the whole thing. It's heavily implied that he does this with the captive Precinct 13 policemen frequently, as well.
* [[Collector of the Strange]]
Line 571 ⟶ 572:
* [[Evil Brit]]: Played with. His bio says he ''grew up'' in London, but wasn't necessarily born there.
* [[Eye Scream]]: That monocle is not a monocle. It's the bottom half of a beer bottle shoved into his eye. According to Penguin, he got it in a bar fight, and aside from him liking it (giving him a "unique look"), he also implies that the doctors told him it was impossible to remove, even if he did try to pay for it.
* [[Fat Bastard]]: He claims to have laughed about the death of Bruce's parents for weeks, saying that it couldn't have happened to nicer people. All in all, he's just unpleasant in general.
* [[Feuding Families]]: The Cobblepots and the Waynes apparently did not get along very well, and he also seems to blame the Waynes for his family being financially ruined.
* [[Groin Attack]] / [[Funny Background Event]]: If you look closely when Penguin says to the psychopathic inmates "Come on out, lads! It's initiation time!", you'll notice that while gesturing, he whacks one of his mooks in the family jewels with his umbrella.
Line 577 ⟶ 578:
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: "Enjoy the copsicle!" (referring to one of the cops frozen by the Ice Gun that Penguin stole from Mr. Freeze).
* [[Jabba Table Manners]]: In the prequel comic.
* [[Jerkass]]: Is this [[Complete Monster|and a ''whole'' lot more.]]
* [[Kick the Dog]]: {{spoiler|He killed and stuffed Joker's pet hyenas.}} Also, it is heavily implied in both a story and an interview tape that {{spoiler|he used the raving lunatics from the previous game as live targets for his mooks' weapons.}}
* [[Known Only By Their Nickname]]: Inverted: Aside from bios and a few mooks, he's referred to by his real name more often than to his nickname.
Line 585 ⟶ 587:
* [[The Napoleon]]: Strange even [[Lampshade Hanging|asks him if he's familiar with the term "Napoleon Complex".]]
* [[Never My Fault]]: His interview tapes with Strange reveal that Penguin constantly blames the Waynes and Batman for the failures caused by the poor decisions of his ancestors and himself.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: For many Batman fans, this was the game that finally made them take Oswald seriously.▼
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Can you actually believe that's [[Nolan North]]?
* [[Sinister Schnoz]]
* [[Smug Snake]]: He is ''very'' egotistical.
▲* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: For many Batman fans, this was the game that finally made them take Oswald seriously.
* [[Wicked Cultured]]: Subverted, but he'd tell you otherwise.
