However, similarities have been found between Penguin's design and the appearance of the Dick Tracy character Broadway Bates, who was introduced in 1932.

Unlike most of Batman's rogues gallery, the Penguin is completely sane and in full control of his actions, giving him a unique relationship with Batman. Batman sometimes uses the nightclub as a source of criminal underworld information. The Penguin owns and runs a nightclub called the Iceberg Lounge which provides a cover for his criminal activity. His umbrellas have been used as guns, gas, swords/knives, a mini-helicopter and many other unconventional tools. Penguin uses high-tech umbrellas as different tools. He is most often seen as a short, overweight man with a long nose who wears a monocle, top hat, and morning suit while carrying his signature umbrella. The Penguin is a Gotham City mobster who fancies himself the number one 'Gentleman of Crime'. The Penguin is one of Batman's most enduring enemies and belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up Batman's rogues gallery.

The character made his first appearance in Detective Comics #58 (December 1941) and was created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. The Penguin ( Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly as an adversary of the superhero Batman.
