comment |
Mythology Gag: Just like in Batman Returns, The Penguin is born disfigured to a horrified father, though this Penguin isn't quite as badly deformed — and this version of his mother actually loves him. |

Break the Cutie: Much of the Penguin's childhood falls under this. He used to be nice enough but the constant torment eventually turned him into a monster. |

Disproportionate Retribution |
| Penguin: Pain and Prejudice (Comic Book) / int_50b05d30 |
comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: The Penguin LOVES doing these to people, for every possibly slight, no matter how minor. A man bumps into him at a party at the Iceberg Lounge and calls him fat ass before realizing who he's talking to, then he apologizes profusely. In response, Penguin gets him fired by framing him for embezzlement, burns down his apartment, kills his parents by sabotaging their car, and injects his girlfriend with an unknown substance. Commissioner Gordon later mentions him, revealing him to be an old acquaintance, and that the guy is now on suicide watch. He later does the same thing again to the coroner removing his mother's dead body from her room. His crime? He was chewing gum! |

Kids Are Cruel |
| Penguin: Pain and Prejudice (Comic Book) / int_63389b0b |
comment |
Kids Are Cruel: Pretty much a constant in Oswald's childhood, as he was relentlessly tormented by his brothers, his classmates and pretty much any other child that happened to wander by. It hasn't gotten any better in the present day, as he first meets Cassandra when a group of kids mock her blindness. |

Abusive Parents |
| Penguin: Pain and Prejudice (Comic Book) / int_b11ac9f5 |
comment |
Abusive Parents: Penguin's father was a real bastard. The first horrible thing he did was drop Oswald when he was born because he was shocked over his mild deformity. He also made his wife have sex with him while a baby Oswald was in the room (thankfully Oswald was asleep), constantly referred to him as a freak and refused to accept him as his son. This finally came back to bite him when he forced Oswald to bathe outside with a hose in the middle of winter, and ended up getting sick himself, which Oswald used as an opportunity to kill him. |

Freudian Excuse |
| Penguin: Pain and Prejudice (Comic Book) / int_c868a42a |
comment |
Freudian Excuse: Played with. We see what a rotten childhood Oswald had (albeit only his own version of events) which certainly would explain just how he got so bitter and twisted...but doesn't really excuse his acts as an adult, such as the aforementioned Disproportionate Retribution and his involvement in multiple criminal enterprises. |

Pet the Dog: Played-with with Cassandra, but ultimately subverted when The Penguin kills her at the end (though somewhat double-subverted because: (A) It's done out of blind panic instead of actual malice, and (B) he goes My God, What Have I Done? afterward). |
