5. The Penguin Keeps On Keepin' On
Penguin took a lot on the chin this season, which is a blessing in disguise cause his nose has obviously suffered enough punishment. Cobblepot ultimately came out on top, despite Galavan grasping him firmly by the eggs when he kidnapped crazy cat lady Mumma Cobblepot. Penguin may not be a physical threat but thats what makes him one of the greatest Batman rogues, even if the actor is a little campy. Still, it doesnt matter how big you are if theres a bigger bullet and crafty Cobblepot is absolutely ruthless (can someone in the comments section please tell me if you can be ruth? Much appreciated). Alongside the awesome cosplay killer carnival I mentioned earlier, there was the laid back assassination of Galavans competition, Penguin cruelly forcing Butch to snap back shots of his favourite scotch before he chopped off his hand with a hatchet and the coupe de grace his first meeting with the newly gestated Riddler. Nygmas attempts to reignite Cobblepots thirst for murder were funny, compelling and brought two prominent future criminal icons together with a shared mutual respect. Nygma convinces Cobblepot that the death of Penguins mother left him absent of any weakness. Penguin eventually gives into his true nature and murders a Galavan employee that Nygma kidnapped and held hostage for days; My mother always said a partys not a party without entertainment. This is a buddy-cop romance in blossom, if the buddy-cops murdered other buddy-cops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez3kjUMpQtY
