@The Cole Train Now that would be a "NICE COLD" feature if they put him in.

Adam West would be great for the third one. As the Mayor of Quahog, the main villain.

I liked DeVito's portrayal in returns. Animated series, not so much.

I can't wait for this game!

@InDurdenWeTrust Danny Devito's portrayal wasn't really the Penguin--Frankly, it was a whole other character who just happened to have the same name, which was unfortunate.

Ice montage, but it froze on me half way through. YouTube can leave a chilly impression at times.

I think arkham city has enough bad guys, one of the things i liked of the first one is that a very compact group of bad guys were used with the joker as the "mastermind", if they start to add so many guys then the game could end up with too many characters for a nice development of the story, i hope they keep it under control, and this doesn´t end being a bad guys fest just because everybody wants to see them for at least 3 seconds.....

For the sake of good story telling, I completely agree with you. We saw what happened to Spiderman 3 the movie, lets hope this game's past success doesn't go to its head! =(

Well, to be fair, Spider-Man 3 only had a couple of hours to tell their story, while Arkham City (if the developers are to be believed) will have a solid twenty to twenty-five.

Time will tell, but in any case, that looks like a pretty awesome take on The Penguin.

They're in a city filled with criminals, I hope we get a dozen super villians to mix it up with the 500 thugs that look exactly the same.

@Evin

nop i did that´s why i say this, reallly how many were in arkham?? the joker, harley quinn, venom, croc, the guy with the marks on his body sorry i don´t remember his name.....poison ivy, the scarecrow, many of those guys didn´t really have a major point in the story, some were eliminated with a singel batrang shot, the riddler didn´t even appeared, we were left with lots of bad guys that never appeared, even though we were at arkham, that was enough excuse to put them all there... but rockstar didn´t do that.... they used the right ones, and the story was developed in an excellent way thanks to this. But if you add too many guys, you end with a mess just like what happened with spider-man 3 like Rusty123 said, or what has happened with most of the super heroes games that exist, you end with a gallery of bad guys and the only excuse that the game has is to hit them all, it becomes a final fight, and i really hope rocksteady keeps this in mind, after all they did it with the first one....and it was a hit.

Joker, Harley Quinn, Zsasz, Poison Ivy, Bane, Killer Croc, Scarecrow. I may be missing one, but I support what you're saying, the less villains, the better.

You only really fought Joker, Bane and Poison Ivy.

@Apsac D

Exactly my point, there were a good amount in the first one, BUT you only fought with few, that´s why the story had a great development, all the "extra" bad guys were not really there for nothing but to present an additional challenge, but they were used wisely.... some of them were not even a big fight....Zsasz was a 5 seconds battle, Croc was more an additional threat to the level than a main boss, also keep in mind that must of those guys were not really "Main Villains" on the same level as the joker. But here in arkham city so far we have 3 Top Dogs: The Joker, Two Faces, and now The Pinguin.... That´s what I´m talking about, if you add too many top guys then there will be not enough story to develope them all, again just look how venom became a stupid anecdote in spider-man 3, i really hope this doesn´t happen here......

The Penguin should have been in TDKR. They could have modernized the character andmade him awesome. He also doesn't need to be deformed, "The Penguin" could just be a code-name for a guy who likes tuxedos.

He wouldn't have made sense at all for the conclusion of the series.. He could never carry the film on his own. Plus, Bane and Catwoman were more in need of reinvention than him.

@Iron Man

I've never been a fan of Catwoman.

I thought that the Riddler and Hugo Strange would've made an interesting pairing, both working together to torment Batman psychologically with their eventual discovery of his secret identity.

But, in the end, I'm sure Nolan could manage to make Calendar Man compelling.

The plot should be interesting, kinda like in Returns where he tries to turn the city on Batman. I really hope they bring in Mr Freeze. Those two should be enough. Batman Returns is my favorite btw..

The Penguin. D'oh. He's stupid. Why not bring in a villin who hasn't been in a movie or game. Or better yet, just make one up. So originality would be nice.

The description sounds a lot like the "The Batman" version of the Penguin. A well traveled man from an aristocratic family who was also crass douche.
