“I’m saying wealth is power, Mr. Wayne, and power is a dirty game that never ends. If you want to play, you’d best start learning the rules. Or you’ll end up just like your parents.”

A study on my original design for Oswald Cobblepot from my AU Batman 2020 series. His appearance is based on Peter Dinklage.

Oswald Cobblepot doesn't carry the alias "The Penguin" in my rendition. It's actually the name of his company, so named because he values the fortitude and endurance of arctic penguins in the face of an extremely harsh and unforgiving environment. He personally relates to these traits, having had to survive an inhumane and cruel world himself and as such, penguins are his favorite animal.
