The Penguin (Batman: Arkham City)

Batman: Arkham Asylum


While the Penguin does not appear in Batman: Arkham Asylum, his top hat and a collection of his trademark umbrellas can be seen behind glass at the South Corridor of the Arkham Mansion. An advertisement for his club, the Iceberg Lounge, can also be seen in the Intensive Treatment Center in William North's office. His name also appears on the party list. Penguin's page in Dr. Young's book has a Riddler question mark, by the fact of having Oswald Cobblepot being a main person of the Underworld, bribing and controlling cops, and Penguin always have a way to get what he wants. Oswald is known for having his ways, even when he looked inside Dr. Young's notes, himself, due to the fact, he has written his own signature as well as Riddler, on many villians, assuming to be either targets or allies.

After Arkham
Soon after arriving in Arkham City, Mr. Penguin starts his own gang and meets Lester Kurtz(Batman in disguise) who wishes to join the gang after fleeing the Joker's. Unlike Joker, Penguin didn't want to put Kurtz through any intiation and just told him to follow orders and he'll be paid. He then turns to another thug named Grisby, revealing a picture showing him double-crossing Penguin by giving information to Harley Quinn. He then sends a panicked Grisby to "tell the man downstairs" and sends him down a trapdoor. Kurtz asks him what's down there and Penguin simply replies "Pray you never have to find out." Since Grisby told the Joker about the raid on the Security Armory Penguin planned, he tells his thugs they will have to get the weapons before they get to the armory. Due to the unexpected appearance of the Joker's goons, Kurtz had to destroy the guns infuriating Penguin, but Kurtz was able to talk his way out of being sent "downstairs" and instead cuts his pay in half and makes him lead a strike on the weakened Joker's hideout the next day. To be sure he doesn't escape, Penguin tell his men to lock Kurtz up for the night, but he escapes anyway by knocking out the goons a litter later.

Batman: Arkham City
Penguin is seen holding cops hostage in the Iceburg Lounge and when Batman comes to rescue them he sends all of his thugs to kill him. When that fails he uses a grenade launcher to knock the Dark Knight into a room below the lounge where he reveals he has Solomon Grundy chained to a wall.

Psychological Profile (by Dr. Young)
The Penguin

Real Name: Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot

SHOULD NEVER BE GIVEN AN UMBRELLA.

Psychological Profile: Pushed into schizotypal behavior by an inferiority complex. Cobblepot's specific eccentricities revolve around an obsession with ornithology and intense ideation based around umbrellas. Even within the confines of the asylum, he has managed to create working umbrellas with "trick" features. Maltreatment by other inmates and probings into possible sources for his insecurities always trigger intense overcompensation on his part, in the form of rantings about his business acumen and misunderstood intelligence.

Additional Notes

His off-putting, antisocial behavior is frequently at odds with his need to be valued and admired.

He is compulsive about his sartorial appearance, which argues with his avoidance and denial of his physical shortcomings.
