While the Joker is looking for his peer, the lunatics in Arkham Asylum are also not idle, especially the Penguin, who really wants to meet his other self.
The Penguin often doesn't have any lofty goals when doing things, either for power or money. He knows this himself, so his self in another universe has struggled for half his life to either have power or money.
Don’t get me wrong, Penguin is not that kind. He doesn’t want to join forces with his other self. What he wants has always been for the banker to take all. If there can only be one Penguin in both universes, then why can’t it be him?
?
Penguin is trying to replace it.
However, he was not so reckless and immediately found someone to assassinate himself in this universe. Before that, he had to find out what age group he was in, what he had done, and what he had.
So after the madmen from the main universe occupied Arkham Asylum on Earth 1, the Penguins immediately took action.
After all, the Penguin is a respectable black boss. It is impossible for him to go deep into the enemy camp personally. Several of his best men quickly spread throughout the new city and began to inquire about Oswald Cobblepot's situation in the city.
It doesn't matter if you don't check, but when you check, you will be really shocked. The Penguin of this universe has become the mayor. He has great hands and eyes in the entire city, and he has become the biggest winner in troubled waters after the chaos of the new city integration.
The Penguin setting of the New 52 continues the classic Penguin image, but what is special is that one of the Penguin's background stories is that he was bullied because of his image when he was young.
Although Oswald Cobot is still a member of the Cobot family, it can be said that he was abandoned by his father because of his unappealing appearance since he was a child, which resulted in him not being able to inherit the Cobot family.
.
Although the Cobot family also declined in the end, the contempt, belittling, and even bullying of him by his brothers from the same clan as him during his childhood left an indelible psychological shadow on him.
Therefore, the Penguin cares very much about the contempt of others. His desire for respect is endless. In a gold standard society, only money and power can allow him to gain the respect of everyone. This is why the Penguin does not hesitate to commit crimes in order to obtain money and power.
core motivation.
But unfortunately, the Penguin in the New 52 is not very successful. He does not have many scenes. We can only see his low self-esteem, arrogance, extremely sensitive and suspicious mentality.
It’s not that such people don’t want others to live well, but they will never allow others to live better than themselves, let alone allow another person to live better than themselves.
After Penguin discovered the situation in the new city, the fire of jealousy burned in his chest.
What does Batman do in this city? He actually let Oswald Cobblepot become the mayor, and he doesn’t even know how much he weighs?
After all, Cobot was born in the upper class. He knew that his talents, abilities, and appearance were not outstanding among the upper class. He only gained the advantage by using the crazy talents inherent in Gotham people in the struggle for power.
To put it simply, the Penguin, who is not very strong, has opened up a new track in the midst of madness that others are unwilling to take and even disdain to take. While all other madmen are striving to become the pacesetter of spiritual civilization and plunge headlong into the ocean of art.
When he couldn't extricate himself from the trap, Penguin took a different approach and resorted to conspiracy.
So it's not that Penguin is strong, it's just that those with talent can't compete with him, and those without talent can't compete with him.
But even so, he is also in a very embarrassing position. The moment those chaotic and evil lunatics cast their gaze on him, he will suffer heavy losses, and so will Batman's gaze.
Penguin has felt several times that Batman doesn't treat him as harshly as other criminals, and even allows the Iceberg Restaurant to exist. In fact, it's because Batman doesn't play with him seriously at all, and thinks he's not very destructive, so he let him go first.
It's nothing to wear.
The Penguin always felt that there was a vague line across his head. As long as he dared to run up, Batman would immediately punch him. In fact, he did so, which led to the Penguin's further conspiracy being blocked several times.
Frustrated, hanging in an awkward position unable to move up or down.
So the question is, how could Batman in this universe allow Penguin to become mayor?
Of course, it is also possible that he is not so easy to be the mayor, or that he is simply a target for someone to set fire to. But now the Penguin has faked it and taken advantage of the chaos of the new city's integration to gain substantial rights. Bat
Why would Xia still look on with cold eyes?
There is no doubt that the Penguin has crossed the line of death, and from any aspect, it is impossible for Batman to sit idly by.
Although the Penguin in the main universe has not yet found Batman's whereabouts, this does not prevent him from instructing his subordinates to secretly collect evidence of the Penguin on Earth 1. When Batman appears, he directly eats the juice to welcome the king.
But as soon as I checked, I found another problem.
In fact, when Batman first debuted on Earth 1, the Penguin was busy assassinating political opponents. The serial killer named Birthday Boy who appeared in the comics was actually raised by the Penguin, and was specially used to threaten and assassinate those who dared to confront him.
The killer of those who oppose you.
The first thing Penguin investigated was a case of assassinating Stephen Under Armor, the director of the Environmental Protection Agency. Police files showed that the director was first kidnapped and then assassinated. It took only three days from the time the news of the disappearance was announced to the time the body was found.
.
Later, the police station received a videotape. At the beginning of the videotape, a pink room appeared on the screen. The walls of the room were hung with various garland ribbons, and the words "Happy Birthday" were spelled out with letter balloons in the middle.
The poor director's mouth was sealed with tape and tied to a chair with a rope. A tall figure walked in from outside the door, holding a cake with crooked words written on it and placed it in front of Stephen.
The next process was more bloody. Stephen cried and refused to eat the cake, so the strong figure photographed the cake on his face. More importantly, the candlestick inserted on the cake was actually fixed on the base of the cake.
On top, the killer named Birthday Boy forcefully inserted five candlesticks into Stephen's face.
Emperor Penguin quickly figured out what the director had done. His attitude towards the people who protested against the illegal emissions of Penguin's chemical plant was too gentle, and he did not settle the matter as Penguin said. He also suffered because of this incident.
There was also a police officer who was unwilling to shoot the protesters, and both were brutally executed by the birthday boy.
The Penguin in the main universe felt a little baffled after reading this case. Does the Mayor Penguin have some unique understanding of kidnapping, assassination and calming public opinion?
To be honest, Penguin didn't quite understand this series of operations.
Of course, it wouldn't be particularly unusual if the Penguin from the main universe did these things. After all, he is still a gang boss and a bar owner. He will definitely fight to the death of anyone who touches his property.
But isn’t this Penguin a mayor?
The Environmental Protection Agency is a subordinate department of the city government, right? This Stephen King should be a subordinate of Penguin, so if you think he is not doing well at his job, wouldn't it be enough to just fire him?
Taking a step back, he may have promised Penguin to deal with the public opinion but failed to do so. This deceptive behavior angered Penguin, and Penguin planned to kill him. Then you will go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife, and you will be happy.
Just kill him and that's it, why kidnap him?
Kidnapping is actually several times more difficult than assassination, because you have to take the target away at a time when no one is paying attention, bring it safely to a designated location, and ensure that he does not escape.
This method is usually used for targets of great value. Great value means that once he disappears but is not confirmed dead, someone will be willing to pay a big price to keep him alive or dead. This is the way for kidnappers to make money.
But the director of the Environmental Protection Agency named Stephen, who is already the director of the Environmental Protection Agency, does he have any significant value? Can he scream louder at the carbon neutrality conference?
But the mayor Penguin still captured him alive and gave him to the killer named Birthday Boy.
This is the part that several people in the main universe cannot understand the most. Mayor Penguin recorded the birthday boy's execution of Stephen and sent it directly to the police station.
Main Universe Penguin really wants to ask, who are you threatening?
When the Penguin is a gang boss, of course he can do this. The purpose is to intimidate the police station and prevent the police station from meddling in its own business. The Penguin in the main universe has done this before. Compared with Batman, his main
The nemesis is actually Gordon.
The purpose of this is to send a message to all police officers that if you interfere in something you shouldn't interfere in, and mess with someone you shouldn't mess with, you will end up like him, and your comrades in arms, the ruling class and the people you maintain will be the same.
No one in the upper class can save you. You should think more about your own safety and meddle less.
At the same time, Penguin will also put such videos in the media, just to show it to the people of Gotham and other people on the street. The government is powerless. Even if I hurt you arbitrarily, you will not get the punishment you deserve, so listen
Mine is right.
But Penguin is now the mayor, and he represents the city government.
He made a video of a killer killing government officials wantonly and sent it to the police station and the media, letting everyone know that someone was killing government officials wantonly and no one could care about it, and that the government was the easiest person to bully.
What is this? Me killing myself?
The Penguin in the main universe flipped through the newspapers of those days in Arkham Asylum, and did not see any reports that the mayor, the Penguin, stood up and emphasized that the murderer would be punished severely, and that the murderer would be caught and tried immediately.
The birthday boy was still at large, and even committed another crime a week later. The victim's family blocked the door of the police station, and reporters took pictures of their heartbroken expressions.
This shows that this is not the Penguin's desire to promote but suppress before he directs and performs to use this incident to establish his prestige. So what is he trying to do?
The main universe Penguin is puzzled.
It can't be that he has been in office for half a year and his thinking has not changed from that of a gang boss, right?
