The Batman Universe Is Copying The Genius Trick That Turned 1 DC Villain Into An Icon
Warning! This article contains minor spoilers for The Penguin episodes 1 and 2.
The Penguin is allowing Matt Reeves" The Batman universe to repeat a trick from a DC project of years past by making a popular villain even more iconic. One of the strengths of The Penguin is undoubtedly the tone it depicts. The show is more akin to its sister movie The Batman in terms of its depiction of Gotham, its characters, and DC"s otherworldly elements, as was evident by the time of The Penguin episode 2"s ending.
Although this does not stop The Penguin"s DC Easter eggs from shining through, it establishes a world much closer to reality than the exaggerated Batman adaptations of the 20th century. This will undoubtedly continue with The Batman - Part II"s story, allowing this section of the Caped Crusader"s live-action universe to have significant strengths. Interestingly, The Penguin"s influence on upcoming Batman movies and shows, specifically giving characters more grounded, sympathetic motivations, is nothing new for iterations of the iconic DC Comics world and its infamous villains.
The Penguin Makes The DC Icon A Lot More Human Oz Cobb Is Much More Human Than DC Comic's Oswald Cobblepot Often Is Close Overall, The Batman universe is fleshing out Oswald Cobb into a much more human character than has been shown in previous iterations. The Penguin"s new origin story for the titular character makes some changes to that of DC Comics, with these alterations being the primary way he is shown as a more realistic character than the overtly bloodthirsty villain from the source material. In the comics, Oswald Cobblepot begins to use the moniker of The Penguin after murdering his brothers and father.
The men of Oswald"s family relentlessly bullied him for his appearance, with only his mother showing him a loving connection. One day, Oswald killed his brothers and father to gain his mother"s attention, subsequently discovering he had a thirst for murder with his love of birds influencing his supervillain identity from that point on. While some semblance of sympathetic motivation is outlined in these stories, DC Comics have, well, comic book elements that make him more of a mustache-twirling villain who embraces a specific moniker than Colin Farrell"s version in The Penguin"s cast of characters.
