Go on, just lengthen Brucie’s nose a bit. Shrink him. Expand his mid-section. You see? Works, doesn’t it? Imagine Batman’s malformed, premature older brother and you’ve got the Penguin. Whereas Bruce is handsome, tall, healthy, athletic, strong and all his faculties are in top condition, Oswald’s ugly, squat, unfit, waddling, bloated and squishy and he needs a monocle. But the inversions are more than just skin deep. If Batman is wise, super intelligent, generous and philanthropic, then the Penguin is scheming, cunning, acquisitive and self-serving.
