Danny
DeVito’s
portrayal
of
the
Penguin
in
Tim
Burton’s
Batman
Returns
remains
one
of
the
most
celebrated
interpretations.
His
physicality,
combined
with
a
blend
of
dark
humor
and
menace,
created
a
villain
who
was
both
grotesque
and
oddly
sympathetic.
DeVito’s
Penguin
was
unforgettable,
especially
in
his
dynamic
scenes
with
Michelle
Pfeiffer’s
Catwoman,
which
added
an
electric
tension
to
the
film.

Batman
TV
Series
(1966-1967)

Meredith
brought
a
unique
charm
to
the
Penguin
in
the
classic
Batman
television
series.
While
the
show
is
often
remembered
for
its
campy
tone,
Meredith
infused
the
character
with
a
surprising
depth
and
sophistication,
elevating
him
above
the
often-silly
antics
of
the
series.
His
portrayal
remains
a
nostalgic
favorite
for
many
fans.

Robin
Lord
Taylor

Robin
Lord
Taylor’s
performance

began
as
a
small-time
criminal
and
evolved
into
a
powerful
mob
boss,
capturing
the
character’s
complex
nature
with
a
blend
of
menace
and
vulnerability.
Taylor’s
nuanced
portrayal
allowed
viewers
to
witness
the
transformation
of
Oswald
Cobblepot
into
a
formidable
figure
in
Gotham’s
underworld.

Tom
Kenny
in
Batman:
The
Brave
and
the
Bold

the
Bold.
His
portrayal
brought
a
mix
of
humor
and
villainy
to
the
character,
making
it
both
entertaining
and
memorable.
Kenny’s
ability
to
balance
the
Penguin’s
comedic
elements
with
his
darker
traits
showcased
the
character’s
complexity
in
a
family-friendly
format.
