7 Worst Things The Penguin Has Ever Done

6. Killing Bud And Lou

Rocksteady's Arkham games are seminal for a whole host of reasons, but Nolan North's Penguin probably isn't one of them. The Penguin of this series boasts a tragic attempt at a cockney accent, and while yes, his museum sequence in Arkham City was certainly memorable, the feathered fiend was not a reason why.

For fans of Batman: The Animated Series however, the character may have actually taken on a whole new level of notoriety. With Joker and Harley having fostered a formidable rivalry with Penguin in the wake of Arkham City's construction, things got... pretty heated, to say the least. Dozens of lives were lost in the ensuing gang war, but two of the most notable ones turned out to be Harley's famous pet hyenas, Bud and Lou.

Killed and then stuffed on display in Penguin's garish museum, Harley's favourite pets ended up being two of the biggest casualties following Joker's feud with Penguin. BTAS fans are yet to recover.
