Lets talk about what parallels there are between the Penguin and the Riddler and their TV show counterparts!

Specifically, I want to talk about Oswald and Edward and how they experience love.

I’ll start with Oswald.

The first thing to know about Oswald is, he has a lot of issues with self-confidence, particularly regarding his appearance, and will often sabotage his own attempts at romance because of them. He’s a man who desperately needs to be accepted and loved, but who always, inevitably, either expresses that need in an unhealthy manner or ruins his own chances at a fulfilling relationship.

Those are the hands of a blind lady Oswald was utterly besotted with. Not besotted enough to give up his criminal ways, but besotted nonetheless. This is the first time she has ever touched his face, because Oswald would tell her not to for fear she would think him disgusting.

When she gasps, he interprets that as an expression of disgust and stabs her. Which is followed by this:

“You are…so handsome…”

At one point, Oswald also rescued a slave and allowed her to live at his mansion with him. She loved him for his compassion and kindness and considered him her hero. It brought out a lot of good in him.

And then she found out about his criminal history and tried to flee, which resulted in this:

Rejection isn’t something he takes well. He can be very cruel when he fears or or experiences rejection. This is very much the result of him being bullied and rejected in his childhood.

He also kidnaps his conquests on occasion and projects on them things he values, or things about himself, because if he does that he can indulge in the fantasy they can learn to love him.

I think the TV show has done a decent job of capturing both the desperate and deplorable side of Oswald Cobblepot in love without making it completely unpalatable. He retains elements of how he experiences love in the comics, but he still has a humanity about him that makes you desire his happiness.

(Of course, I will retract the above comment immediately if Isabella isn’t unveiled to have been planted there by someone, because just having a clone of Ed’s ex show up to divide Oswald and Ed without explanation would be terrible, homophobic storytelling.)

To be honest, I think one of the few people Oswald shows a genuine selfless concern and love for in the comics is Edward. He saves Edward’s life and leaves him the Iceberg lounge, and for a man who often associates value with money and possessions, this is a big thing.

Now, Edward. At Edward’s worst, this is what love looks like:

Obsessions (Miss Kringle, anyone?)

Rejection, and him acting like the biggest baby in the world. Yes, that is a panel of him drinking scotch out of a baby bottle.

Followed swiftly by him realizing he was obsessed, not in love. (Aka, his relationship with Isabella and to a lesser degree, Kristen.)

Edward, unlike Oswald, doesn’t usually seek out love. He seeks out a lot of things associated with love – such as respect and acceptance – but we don’t actually see him pursue a lot of people.

Love was something he was deprived of throughout his childhood, so he has an unhealthy reliance on loving himself. It’s very much a shield against all the insecurities brought on by his mother and fathers abuse and negligence, which, when stripped away, gives us a glimpse of the broken man beneath.

…But he can be rather cute when it comes to crushing on other villains.

Despite his issues, he’s very much a person who’s capable of falling in love and experiencing love. This is especially true during his P.I. run. He can be a little more trusting and naive than Oswald at times, however, and he doesn’t have nearly as much power, so the downside is that his capacity for love and trust opens him up to being used.

And betrayal by the people he trusts…

Is not a pain he handles well.

It can drive him away.

Back into the lap of madness.

ohohohoho, did you think I’d let father’s day pass without me doodling my silly penguin family au? Well uh… I didn’t 💀 if you haven’t seen my posts before this, this is a Gotham au where everything is pretty much the same, but Oswald takes in the kids (Ivy doesn’t age up) and they go from his minions (?) to his children LOL. Also Ed is there early-on as Oswald’s support (this is very s2 riddlebird bc that’s my preference) and he’s also merged into the family without anyone really noticing.

Ed took the picture lol, I promise he’s here in spirit 💀 and idk about Bruce, he’s just chillin with them lol

please forgive my silliness, I know I’m a softie. btw I haven’t watched an episode since like,, early 2020, so I know my perception of the show is a bit skewed 😭🏃
