The Penguin Creator Reacts To the Show's Overwhelming Success: "We Can Bring That Energy To a Huge, Wider Audience"
Image
In a recent interview, writer Tom King discusses just how important it is for comic characters to branch out from comics and how the success of The Penguin proves that DC's characters can find success in any medium, from video games to movies and TV - and all the way back to comic books.

While sitting down with Polygon, King talked at length about his upcoming Black Canary and Lady Shiva book, as well as his thoughts on the TV and movies that these characters have appeared in. One of the big things that King stated was just how important TV shows are in getting comic characters in front of a wider audience - which he knows well, especially since he wrote the recent Penguin title, with artist Rafael de Latorre, published by DC Comics. Now, The Penguin TV show has gotten some of the characters that King worked with...

Miss The Penguin? Here's 5 DC Comics to Fill the Hole
Image
Everyone is still talking about The Penguin, but now that it's over, how are people supposed to fill the void left behind by the brutal crime story? The HBO show didn't hold back from Oswald Cobblepot's worst side, but are there any comics that can satisfy fans of the Penguin?

The good news is that there are plenty of stories that similarly focus on Gotham's notorious crime boss and yes, they are just as grim and violent as Colin Farrel's epic portrayal of the Penguin. From stories that focus on Oswald rebuilding his empire to tales that showcase his utter lack of humanity, The Penguin fans are absolutely going to want to read these five comics.

Colin Farrell in The Penguin (2024)
Catwoman Lost Her Title as DC's Greatest Thief (To The Last Person Anyone Ever Expected)
Colin Farrell in The Penguin (2024)
The one person who might be a better thief than Catwoman is Batman. Catwoman is notorious for being the greatest criminal in Gotham City and maybe even the world to the point that even the Joker had to give her props. Even though she is on the path to becoming more of a hero, being a thief has always been what Catwoman does best.

Yet between the two of them, Batman seems to be the better criminal, judging by the events of The Penguin #11 by Tom King and Rafael De Latorre. Oswald Cobblepot has secured some gold for himself, but when his helping hand, the Help, goes to check that the gold is still secure, all he finds in its place is a batarang. In fact, it's a running theme in the comics that suggests that Batman is so good at catching criminals because he's better at being a criminal...

Batman Reveals He Trained His Body to Respond to Injury in a Totally Inhuman Way
Image
Warning! Contains Spoilers for The Penguin #12!Batman has been fighting crime for decades, constantly going up against absurdly dangerous people - naturally, he's been stabbed, shot, and bludgeoned from every possible direction. Shockingly, Batman trained his body to feel all of this pain without filtering any of it out.

The shocking way that Batman's body handles pain was revealed in a preview for The Penguin #12 by Tom King and Rafael De Latorre. In this story, Batman is on the way to save the Penguin from his villainous daughter, and he has to go through an army of criminals to do it.

While getting shot or stabbed certainly hurts, usually, the body quickly goes into shock, and that dulls the pain. Unfortunately, it seems to dull everything else as well. So, over the years, Batman has trained his body to never go into shock, meaning he feels every single shot and stab that he takes.

Not only that, but he's been deemed DC's most proficient killer and he is back in Gotham.

DC Officially Confirms 1 Justice League Genius Is Smarter Than Batman

Mister Terrific is smarter than Batman, ranking higher on the intellect scale in the DC Universe. The Penguin #8 highlights Mister Terrific as a key figure, making him an important part of the DC Universe. Batman's intelligence is not unmatched, as Mister Terrific's transparency could be the key to keeping him in check.

Warning: contains spoilers for The Penguin #8!

DC has confirmed that one Justice League genius is smarter than Batman. Although known throughout the DC Universe as “the World’s Greatest Detective,” Batman is not the smartest man on Earth. While it is close, there are at least three others who intellectually outrank the Dark Knight, and in The Penguin #8, fans learn one is a member of the Justice League, and has fought alongside Batman.

"Even Batman Can't Predict It": DC Officially Fixes a Major Batman Cliché, Making Him Smarter Than Ever

Batman's reputation as the world's greatest detective has at times been tarnished by the fact that criminals frequently escape him; DC recently revealed that they do so using the dangerous and unpredictable currents of the Gotham City River. The Gotham City River has been a recurring escape route for villains, and now it is confirmed that Batman cannot plan or predict which current will take them, adding narrative logic to this previously exploited concept. Despite Batman's numerous contingency plans, he is unable to control the currents of the river, making it a reliable escape method for villains willing to take the risk of jumping into its highly dangerous waters.

2023 Re-Established the Penguin as One of Batman's Biggest Threats
Image
DC villain the Penguin has proven to be absurdly dangerous despite his physical limitations, as shown in his recent solo series. After faking his death earlier in the year, Penguin left Gotham City and tried to live a normal life, only to be pulled back into the world of crime. Penguin's actions at the start of 2023 had a significant impact; the villain framed Batman for his death, causing chaos for the Caped Crusader, as well as within the Bat-Family, the fallout of which they're still dealing with.

Batman has tons of physically imposing and sadistically dangerous villains; The Penguin has never really been considered as one of Batman's more dangerous foes, at least in terms of their physical match-up. Oswald Cobblepot is short and overweight, with practically no muscle mass. It's easy to see why people don't consider him that big of a threat – but 2023 just proved how absurdly dangerous Cobblepot actually is.

And Daredevil raising his own army has led him to voice some controversial opinions about the superhuman forces and figures he's contending with.

Kraven Gets a Major Marvel Upgrade Ahead of Aaron Taylor-Johnson Movie

Classic Spider-Man antagonist Sergei Kravinoff aka Kraven the Hunter will finally make his cinematic debut in 2023's self-titled film starring former "Quicksilver" and "Kick-Ass" Aaron Taylor Johnson. In the lead-up to Sony Pictures' upcoming Kraven film, Marvel Comics has gone and made the formerly ludicrous Kraven a much more serious threat for another street-level comic book hero.

Upon his introduction by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko in 1964's The Amazing Spider-Man #15, Kraven the Hunter surely stood out but did not make the same impression on readers as previous villains. A human "big game hunter" in peak physical shape, Kraven's access to obscure poisons, herbs, and guns were the assets that gave him an edge over his greatest challenge yet... Spider-Man. While Spidey foes like Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and the Lizard quickly soared to new heights, Kraven was largely more of an inconvenience than a serious obstacle. Even the Ultimate...

Daredevil Introduces a Secret Ninja Faction More Dangerous Than the Hand
Image
Spoilers for Daredevil #4!In the Marvel Universe, the ninja assassin cult known as the Hand is extremely dangerous, but some of its ex-members might be even worse.

The Hand has been a thorn in many heroes' sides for years. Their specialty is resurrecting dead heroes and villains from the grave in order to have them do their bidding. They did this to Wolverine as well as Elektra in order to turn them into their mind controlled assassins. However, Daredevil and Elektra are now on a mission to stop them for good, especially now that they found a new leader in someone they call the King of Killers: The Punisher.

‘Daredevil #1’ Review
Image
Written by Chip Zdarsky | Art by Marco Checchetto | Published by Marvel Comics

I can’t remember the last time I reviewed a Daredevil book which, on the face of it, is unusual. Daredevil is one of my top three Marvel characters, and one I’ve been a huge fan of since the late 70’s/ early 80’s. That’s right, he existed pre-Frank Miller. Matt Murdock has always been a hugely interesting character to write, and for me the two personas are so different it is like writing two different characters. Daredevil is the swashbuckling defender of Hell’s Kitchen, Matt Murdock the lawyer who’ll defend anyone in need. Nearly as iconic as Batman/Bruce Wayne and Superman/ Clark Kent when you think of it. He is also as a character very adaptable, and most writers have a very personal take on him. This time round, Chip Zdarsky gets his shot.
