The Penguin's love life could be Gotham's undoing.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Oswald Cobblepot — more commonly recognized as the Penguin — isn't a Batman rogue often associated with love, relationships, or family. That's all changing now, as Penguin's children fight for control of his criminal empire. Truthfully, love has always been a major factor in Oswald's life, and he values it enough to walk the straight and narrow — at least for a while.
In The Penguin #1 by Tom King, Rafael de Latorre, Marcelo Maiolo, and Clayton Cowles, Cobblepot is enjoying his life with his fiancée, Rita Wells, after his supposed "death" at the hands of Batman. He appears committed to not engaging in any violent acts even when provoked. The narration states that he is "finally freed from the burden of his boundless gluttony," but it doesn't last long.
It's enough to get Penguin to wordlessly agree, but his relationship history likely means Rita's life won't keep him compliant for long.The Penguin Loves Hard but Plays Harder Waller and Agent Espinoza's reliance on Penguin's relationship with Rita Wells is a slippery slope, as she isn't the only woman he's fallen for.
Gotham isn't short on villains with semi-sympathetic stories, and Penguin has been mocked, underestimated, and passed over until deciding that his only recourse was to build a criminal empire that intimidates even the likes of Waller. His experiences hardened him, and he is capable of immense cruelty beyond even physical violence. However, he is also capable of actual love, and he seems to crave it.
The Penguin Values Himself More Than Anything Though Oswald assures Rita that he doesn't miss anything about his old life, being sent back to Gotham puts Penguin in a prime position to return to the gluttony and greed he supposedly left behind. The Penguin is returning to the nest just as his two remaining children are ready to settle into it.
