The Penguin received a kit rework in early 2026. We still see him as a skip for anyone who builds The Joker up long term, but for non-spenders who need a third or fourth team and have no other choice, the new kit actually has some viability in the early game and for those looking for a solid ship combat team.
The Penguin summons Penguin Commandos and stacks [Burning] to deal spiritual damage over time. He also gains a powerful Attack bonus based on the number of [Arkham's Most Wanted] allies present.
Increases Attack, Effect Accuracy, and Spiritual Amplification, significantly improving The Penguin's success rate of inflicting debuffs and his damage dealt.
Increases Attack and Effect Accuracy. The Penguin's skill slows enemies, and the Effect Accuracy bonus helps the debuff land consistently, ensuring his explosive minions' attacks hit.

Oswald Cobblepot was born to a prominent Gotham family, but from early childhood, he was mocked for his appearance. His birdlike nose and body shape earned him the nickname "Penguin". His father was cruel to him; only his mother showed him love. Oswald's only real friends were his birds. But Oswald was not weak or timid. The people who bothered him often died in accidents, including his father. Eventually, people learned to stop teasing Oswald and show him respect. Oswald felt that good manners and presentation were important, so he always dressed impeccably, usually in a suit. At his mother's insistence, he always carried an umbrella. Those who teased him about it soon found out it had a sword blade in the tip. Soon, the name "Penguin" was no longer spoken mockingly but with fear.
The Penguin was always a master negotiator and an expert at providing people with what they wanted… at a price. As a rising criminal, he was working for mobster Carmine Falcone as a bartender but aspired to move up in the world. He approached the new vigilante Batman with a proposition: he would become an informant in exchange for Batman's protection. With Oswald's help, Batman took down Falcone and his top people. Oswald bought the club he'd been working in and reopened it as the Iceberg Lounge, a swanky nightclub through which he ran his own rackets. Batman tolerated this as long as Penguin didn't kill anyone. But when Batman learned the Penguin had committed a murder, he fought and defeated the Penguin, who convinced authorities he was insane and belonged in Arkham Asylum.
Because he was never truly insane, the Penguin convinced his doctors at Arkham that he had "recovered" in a relatively short time and gained release. He returned to the Iceberg Lounge, where he ran a thriving business specializing in obtaining hard-to-get things for Gotham's underworld. While the Penguin was away, however, his lieutenant Ignatius Oglivy usurped his position and began calling himself Emperor Penguin. Ogilvy was far worse than Oswald. The Penguin and Batman joined forces to defeat Emperor Penguin and return the Iceberg Lounge to Oswald. During this period, the Penguin continued to feed information to Batman when it suited him, influencing Batman to let his less violent operations (like illegal gambling) continue without interference.
During a period when it seemed the Crime Syndicate had killed the Justice League and Batman was absent from Gotham, the Penguin found that Gotham was becoming too disorderly to conduct business. He declared himself Mayor of Gotham and did his best to contain the damage from the Arkham War, a citywide conflict between the inmates of Arkham Asylum, led by Scarecrow, and the inmates of Blackgate Penitentiary, led by Bane. The Penguin played both sides against each other until Bane's side won, after which the Penguin rewarded him with free range of the city, until Batman returned and removed the Penguin from his ill-gotten office.
When the Penguin's former boss, Carmine Falcone, was released from prison, he tried to reclaim his former empire. Falcone assembled an army and attacked the Iceberg Lounge, sinking it into the ocean. The Penguin barely escaped with his life. Furious, the Penguin abandoned his usual caution and attacked Falcone personally, but this attempted murder was captured on camera by reporter Vicki Vale, and both men were arrested and jailed. Their war continued, both in and out of prison. Ultimately, the Penguin emerged victorious, though still incarcerated, until The Joker broke the inmates out of Blackgate in an all-out attack on Batman. Once again, the Penguin allied with Batman, believing The Joker had gone too far and was bad for business.
Red Hood, also known as Jason Todd, received a letter from his estranged father who had died in prison. It revealed that years ago, in order to pay off debts, he had taken the rap for a murder that the Penguin had actually committed. Furious that he had grown up an orphan because of the Penguin, Red Hood went to war against him, shooting him in the face. The Penguin survived, but his eye was damaged, and for a time, he wore an eyepatch where his monocle had been. Red Hood even took over the Penguin's rebuilt Iceberg Lounge but was ousted by allies who felt he had gone too far. The weakened Penguin was deposed by his adult children and fled to Metropolis, but after careful planning, he returned and reclaimed his empire, killing his own children for their betrayal.
