Looks Like We Were Right About The Penguin's Lover – Batman #60 Spoilers

Expect a lot of Batman #60 articles today all over the place, but we start with something gentle.

Recently we learned of someone very special in Oswald Cobblepot, The Penguin's life. A certain Penny Cobblepot, who died at twenty years, presumed to be at the hands of Bane. Buried in a plot next to that planned for The Penguin (Chekhov's grave, anyone?). With her father causing trouble back at the Penguins lair looking for her.

We suggested she was a penguin. And that Oswald had been engaging in a bestial relationship with Penny. It felt like a good joke, but one slipped in by Tom King that would never actually be confirmed.

Until we read Batman #60, that is. As the Penguin is caged, helping Batman and talking with Alfred about the Shakespeare poem from a couple of issues ago about true love.

And eating raw fish, very much in the Danny DeVito style from Batman Returns. Has this ever happened in the comic books before? Or is this a first?

Well, it's not as much a first after this confirmation…

'Her beautiful black feathers, her petite, sun-drenched beak'… Considering the reaction of new DC Comics President Pamela Lifford to the publication of Batman's Batpole in Batman Damned, what will the official DC Comics response be to the story that confirms that Oswald Cobblepot has crossed the species barrier when it comes to sexual relations?

BATMAN #60
(W) Tom King (A/CA) Mikel Janin
Batman takes on a new partner, and it's…the Penguin? After rejecting Bane's crime-boss co-op, Cobblepot finds himself in the crosshairs of some very teed-off villains. The feathered felon turns to his old foe to snitch on Bane's scheme, but has to prove his intentions to avoid a Bat-beatdown. Along the way, this Gotham odd couple begins to bond-could there be a new bird joining the Bat-Family? Not if Bane has anything to say about it…In Shops: Dec 05, 2018
SRP: $3.99
