Oswald Cobblepot, the Emperor Penguin, is a wealthy man who launders money legally following the end of costumed eccentricities in Gotham City.
History
Cobblepot used to be known as the Penguin, a foe of Batman. However, after the tragic Fool's Night that rattled Gotham and resulted in Batman's death, "the masks went away," and the superheroes and supervillains alike retired their costumes. Cobblepot moved his casino to Gotham Bay where he made a business laundering money for legitimized figures rather than just criminals.
After Selina Kyle was released from prison, she met with Cobblepot (in a helicopter at his insistence) for a deposit of money she left with him before she went to prison. Cobblepot then told her he had to give away her money in civil forfeiture to keep himself from going under and offered to make it up to her. Selina said she wanted a loan for another job, which he rejected, saying she was getting old and giving her money would be too risky. Noticing her cleavage, he then lecherously offered her a job at his casino wearing one of her sensual catsuits, to which she punched him in the face.[1]
