DC"s New Penguin Is Exactly The Kind of Villain Change I Want To See

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Batman: Caped Crusader episode 1.
Summary

Batman: Caped Crusader introduces a female Penguin, Oswalda Cobblepot, adding a fresh twist to a classic DC villain.
The series still characterizes Penguin as a money-hungry crime boss, but the various changes made to the villain give her a unique and sinister edge.
Oswalda's character changes in Caped Crusader showcase how DC can explore new territories while staying true to the essences of the franchise's most iconic figures.

Batman: Caped Crusader has finally been released, and significantly changed DC's Penguin in a way that I would love to see more of. Batman: Caped Crusader has delivered a compelling take on the titular hero engaging in his typical MO in a stylized 1940s Gotham. The animated Batman series is helmed by a whose-who of Hollywood and DC icons, with JJ Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Bruce Timm as executive producers. Timm, the head producer behind Batman: The Animated Series, is also the showrunner.
Every episode of Batman: Caped Crusader is available to stream on Prime Video, and it's safe to say that the series hit the ground running with episode 1: In Treacherous Waters. The episode introduces Batman: Caped Crusader's main cast, including Batman, Barbara and Jim Gordon, Alfred, and a litany of Gotham mobsters. From the jump, Caped Crusader has taken a darker turn than its animated predecessor by turning Gotham into a seedier and more violent setting akin to the one seen in Reeves' The Batman trilogy. It is also taking some drastic but welcome creative liberties.
