| - The Penguin was an arch-nemesis of Batman. As one of Batman's greatest enemies (besides The Joker), Penguin was known for his love of birds and his specialized high-tech umbrellas. As one of Gotham City's top criminals, Penguin almost always tried to cover up his criminal activities with some other false enterprises. Penguin often pretended to legit, and usually won the hearts of all Gothamites before he revealed his true motives. He also loved to discredit Batman and Robin. But Batman always won out because he didn't concern himself with popular opinion, and his dedication to solving the crime at hand allowed him to cut right to the heart of Penguin's schemes. Penguin also fancied himself to be quite the ladies' man. He carried himself with an aristocratic air, and was always formally attired. A cigarette was always on hand, and since he was one of refined tastes, Penguin used a cigarette holder. In one of the 1966 episodes when Penguin thought that he was rich (before he was outfoxed by Batman) he tried to buy a unnamed country but declined to do so-because he was allergic to Zodka. In another classic Batman episode, Penguin claimed that he once was a actor. (In the comedy series, he was always referred to as Penguin but not by his real name of Oswald Cobblepot). In the state prison, his jail cell was P.G.1 along with Joker, The Riddler, Catwoman, King Tut and Egghead in the exclusive Super-villains section. At times, Penguin was a genius of crime-he once tricked Batman into unknowningly planning crimes for him and Brainwashed Alfred Pennyworth into working for him-he had a working knowledge of electronics that when he and Joker tried to take over the Batcave, and both criminals were x-rayed with a Bat Beam that noted their physical bone structure. Penguin also suffered from short term memory loss-he failed to recognize Bruce Wayne (he thought that he was a umbrella factory spy) and had trouble recognizing Alfred twice -once when Alfred portrayed a forger and another time when Alfred took the place of a minister (although Penguin had brainwashed Alfred).
