Okay, in Joker's Asylum: The Penguin by Jason Aaron, there are some awesome scenes where it shows how much The Penguin rules.
The first is when he's talking about this girl he loves and how much he's changed and you randomly see his bodyguards fighting in the background. You think nothing of it until the next page you see Batman was beating the **** out of his guards while listening to him ramble on. Batman states he'll be watching, and The Penguin replies: "Yeah, yeah, see you next week."
The second involves Penguin taking this girl out to a restaurant. The Penguin is going to tell her how much he loves her when he is interrupted by the chef laughing. He immediately grabs a knife as he thinks the chef may be laughing at him but the girl persuades him not to. He doesn't.
Then the following happens:
And so they ate their dinner and enjoyed their evening, and Penguin never said a word about the chef who’d laughed.
But a few days later, that building had a new owner, and the restaurant was forced to close, its employees all fired.
And the day after losing his job, the chef found that his girlfriend had been suddenly deported to Romania, and his best friend arrested for child pornography, despite his insistence that he was framed.
The day after that, a new tenant moved in next door and began blasting their stereo at all hours of the day and night. The landlord stopped taking his calls.
The church he attended was closed for fumigation, after a bizarre infestation of killer bees. The park where he liked to sit and read was annexed and bulldozed.
And then the chef, who was a recovering alcoholic, woke one morning to find that a 24-hour liquor store had opened across the street from his apartment.
Less than two months after he’d crossed paths with the Penguin, a night janitor found the chef in a bus station restroom. He’d hanged himself.
This is why The Penguin rules.
