Batman: Arkham - Ranking EVERY Villain Worst To Best

9. Penguin

Batman Arkham city mr freeze
Rocksteady

A rather different take on the classic Batman baddie, but with enough of his comic familiarity for him to stand up to the original DC incarnation. The Oswald Cobblepot of the Arkham series is one bona fide cockney geezer.

Known in the criminal underground for his black market weapons racketeering, Penguin first appears in Arkham City, where he runs a nightclub called The Iceberg Lounge - complete with a pet shark and an immortal zombie in the basement!

He's no stranger to a fight, either, and the half of a bottle lodged in his eye socket is a testament to that.

Returning in Arkham Knight, Penguin owns a company named North Refrigeration (a reference to his voice actor, Nolan North) which is really a front for his business of selling weapons to the Arkham Knight's militia. Together with Nightwing, Batman systemically shuts all of his bases down and throws the vertically challenged scoundrel straight in the slammer.

There'll be no need for an umbrella where he's going.
