Batman’s Rogues: The Evolution Of Evil
I'm a 35 year old Canadian living in Ontario. I read comics, I love to draw and I collect comic art. I also teach karate, play hockey, and am a dad to 3 girls! My comic book passion lies with Batman and his pals with Nightwing taking a very close #2 favourite position. I began collecting comic art in 2013 and I have several commissions done by Ken Lashley and an amazing Francis Manapul Batman. As well I have sold a few of my own creations!
No. 3: Penguin

Artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger introduced the character in Detective Comics #58 (December 1941). The depiction of Penguin has not really changed all the much from original to the current version, but there was a period in the ‘90’s where he was much more penguin like thanks to Tim Burton’s Batman Returns movie.
He does appear a bit more hunched over now in the current comics and not as ‘well dressed’ as he used to be, but ever present are the top hat, long cigarette holder and umbrella.
