Personality
In stark contrast of his comic book counterpartwho prides in being a gentleman, this version of Penguin is a tragic but mentally unstable, petty, vindictive, murderous, depraved, bitter, hate-driven, and somewhat animalistic sociopath who even developed signs of homicidal tendencies as a baby.
