The penguin waddles in!
Obviously this Episode is Most notable for introducing us to the inimitable Penguin. Played spectacularly with a lovely waddle and a disturbing umbrella fetish. I was worried he might break his teeth chewing on his cigarette holder so hard. I love his gorgeous purple hat.
Bird themed wordplay is all over this one. I like the use of carrier pigeons and penguins. He's definitely an avian archcriminal.
Umbrella shops seem to be a big deal in Gotham City. I can't believe three umbrella factories were recently opened in the area. Is the Joker constantly releasing toxic rain onto the populace or something? The sheer amount of umbrellas on display throughout this episode is a sight to behold in itself.
The duo rightly figure out that the Penguin is not a reformed man. But they don't realise he hasn't yet devised a scheme, he's relying on Batman to help with that. I think that's an interesting idea - I'll be curious to see how it plays out in the next episode. Also I can't believe it's only episode 3 and already the Penguin has discovered the true identity of Batman (if only he were clever enough to realise it) !
There are extreme gay undertones here. Batman is teaching Robin French and remarks on the importance of people learning to share each other's tongues!
