To transform into the Penguin, Danny DeVito wore a combination of prosthetics and makeup which covered much of his face. Bob Ringwood and Mary E. Vogt were the costume designers. [5] They refined the Batsuit to create the illusion of mechanical parts built into the torso, intending Batman to resemble Darth Vader. [22]

Early Life
Oswald was born to the privileged Cobblepot family on December 23rd, 1950. His father, Tucker, was a prominent District Attorney and his mother, Esther, was active in the DAR. Esther gave birth to Oswald in the halls of Cobblepot Manorin the snow blanketed neighborhood of Asbury Park. Oswald's parents, the wetnurse, and the doctor reacted in shock and horror at the monstrously deformed baby boy. In particular, Tucker after rushing to his wife's bedroom screamed in horror, while the wetnurse f...
Revenge on Gotham City
Thirty-three years after his birth, Oswald set his sights on a multimillionaire named Max Shreck, who, after the fall of the Grissom Mob, had become the most powerful man in city, but by seemingly "legitimate" means. To arrange Shreck's kidnapping, Oswald had the Red Triangle Gang attack Gotham Plaza. Penguin observed the onslaught from the safety of a sewer grate, where he watched Max flee from his henchmen. Oswald then ran to another area where Max stood above one of the gang's secret sewer...
The Kidnapping of the Mayor's Son
Shreck arranged for the Penguin to "rescue" Mayor Roscoe Jenkins' Son from an Acrobatic Thug. The plan worked, and Penguin became a hero to all, with the exception of a suspicious Bruce Wayne. After he found out his original birth name of Oswald Cobblepot (as well as the names of Gotham's first born sons), Penguin went to visit the cemetery where his biological parents were now buried and placed roses on their grave out of respect, telling Gotham's citizens that he forgave them for their aban...
Physical Appearance
The Penguin is depicted with a heavyset yet diminutive appearance, which alongside his beaked nose and his flipper-like hands give him a resemblance to a penguin, hence his nickname. It's heavily implied his stunted appearance, nose, and hands had its roots in the deformities that he had been born with. He also had disheveled hair and sunken eyes, presumably from either the harsh conditions of being raised as a freak show member or his deformities by birth. He had sharp teeth, which he demons...
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. He is also shown to have man child-like qualities such as flying into a terrible rage when things didn't go his way due to the lack of actual parental figures in his early life, given that those who rai...
