    Most of Tulok’s bat family is gonna have evasión so he’s doubly right about that exploding cannon feature

    I definitely like the idea of Penguin as a Mastermind Rogue since he is at his best when played like a crime lord. Why do the dirty when you have mooks that can do that for you while you remain back at your "legitimate" job with your flippers clean?
    Also...I want a gadget filled umbrella. Maybe something like what Dennis Stanton had in Murder She Wrote. Dart gun and retractable dagger near the point with a detachable multitool in the handle.

    I thought he already made Penguin in December, but that was Deedeedee. He even used the same joke in the intro.

    I would have thought Animal Handling would be a necessity.
    It was always odd to me how Nolan considered Penguin too unrealistic to be in his movies, even though Penguin is just a mob boss with a deformity.
    Low charisma is odd because Penguin's charisma seems to wax and wane heavily. Sure he's ugly but people are still drawn to him, and he was able to get elected mayor that time. Apparently did an ok job at it too (naturally he was crooked as a three dollar bill but that's what Gotham is used to anyway).

    The TRUE best villain of the flying mammal crusader is uppon us! pay your respects to the one gentleman of crime or he will shank you with his umbrela if you dare to disrespect the tuxedo.
    Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot is that weird little man that ACTUALLY is totally sane and normal, unless you see some other adaptations where he is an absolute monster... a weird deviation to the villain that was depicted sometimes as handsome and that can show the ingenuity of tech and the cunning needed to be top bird on the underworld (A man with ambitions just as big as mine for a Tangle the Lemur build, and i have the advantage since there is no Batman between me and Sir Tulok! btw, please?) Become the one classy master of the town with a iron wing, doing all you need to win, even framing the bat for insurrance fraud!

    Tulok should make Ichibei from Bleach. His power is literally calligraphy and he literally works for a godlike entity, the soul king. He uses a lance that's a really big calligraphy brush and instead of physically cutting things, he cuts their metaphysical/true names. Anything and anyone cut by his attacks has their physical abilities halved as the name is also halved. Anything painted by his black paint lose all their powers as they lose their names, and with the white paint he can give new names and thus new stats and powers to someone, such as naming his enemy a black ant and then making a giant energy foot to step on him. if he writes something such as "conceal" on an object, the object turns invisible. If this isnt the most tulok character ever, I don't know what would be.

    The major thing I don't agree with about this build is that Penguin is and has always been a survivalist and has always been one of the major tropes where he is a rising phoenix as in you can kill him, you thought you did but in actuality he usually is tough to kill. Many games including DC Legends usually place him as a tricky or genius Tank as in he has an absurd amount of HP and defences but sometimes he's slower than the rest of the party. Penguin is hard to sometimes pin and some aspects of his background do change but he's always been reliable and steady with the themings of his character.
    Lower charisma is odd too because Penguin has always been a character who learns and adapts and from this he can make nearly anyone think he is something that he is not; in the show Gotham this is aptly true because he came from a lower class home and built his image up.
    Overall pretty solid build of his understanding.

      For some reason, some commenters take it really personally when they would make something differently, as though Tulok is providing the "Official" way to translate these builds.

      @@AwesomeWookiee Interesting... I always say this as a interesting discussion topic where no point of view was more special or accurate then the others. Its all a matter of perception in this case, just like art or philosophy. I can understand how "intent" is harder to understand in text where there is not always emotion expressed to understand the texter's intention.
      From my perspective, it always seemed like Tulok don't see it as a discussion topic and dont like his perception and his work to be questioned. I believe its "easier" (or at least more understandable for me to see it that way) to think that since his humor is very deadpan and sarcastic.
      I do miss the fun alteration or side-notes about the builds he did in the past, to show us what he did consider while making the build. Discovering his thoughts process while making the build was so awesome! I hope he does that more! EDIT: added "deadpan" to his sense of humour lol
