A strange set of robberies committed by birds and an intrusion at a charity benefit introduce Bruce Wayne to a new supervillain -- Oswald Cobblepot, alias the Penguin.
!!This episode provides examples of:
* {{Acrofatic}}: The Penguin is a better fighter than he looks.
* AndThisIsFor: Alfred manages to land the final blow on Penguin, saying "And that's for Grandpapa Pennyworth."
* BadassInDistress: Penguin incapacitates Alfred when he catches the latter sneaking around in his house. Alfred later frees himself with his serving tray.
* BadBoss: Alfred recalls that the Cobblepots were like this towards his grandfather:

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Inverted; Cobblepot ''does'' remember the name Pennyworth once Alfred mentions it; not that he cares.
* CasanovaWannabe: Penguin tries this to Amanda Raymond, usually it failed.
* EvilIsPetty: Downplayed. Copplebot is rather petty, but that's not the reason, as Alfred at first ''suspects'', he stole the serving tray. He's a more prolific thief than Alfred suspected.
* EvilLaugh: The Penguin, several times.
* FedToTheBeast: Cobblepot attempts this with Alfred, but not fast enough to avoid the Batman.
* FeudingFamilies: Alfred points out of the feud between the Cobblepots and Pennyworths due to his grandfather getting bullied by them.
* ImpoverishedPatrician: The reason for the Penguin's crime sprees.
* JabbaTableManners: Oswald Cobblepot shovels hors d'oeuvres into his face by the handful.
* {{Jerkass}}: Oswald is [[EvilIsPetty a rude obnoxious jerk]] as well as a villain, imperiously snapping orders at Alfred and (offscreen) hitting on a woman in a way that earns him a face-slap.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Oswald contemptuously addresses Alfred as [[TheJeeves "Jeeves"]] when barking at him to serve more food.
* NiceToTheWaiter: Played straight. Bruce, the hero, is polite to everyone, whereas Oswald Cobblepot, the new supervillain, calls Alfred "Jeeves" and rudely orders him around.
* NotOnTheList: The Penguin checks the guest list to make sure. Batman later realizes he was using it as a means to learn who to rob.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Alfred, the entire episode. Cobblepot brings him out of his usual deadpan attitude and causes him to show genuine anger that he rarely exhibits.
* PokeThePoodle: Inverted, mostly. Alfred ''thinks'' Cobblepot swiped the serving tray simply to spite him. Turns out he's "pilfered" far more than ''that''.
* SmarterThanYouLook: Penguin uses his JabbaTableManners as a facade to appear as someone who wouldn't be bright enough to rob so many places using birds.
* SuperheroParadox: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] by Bruce and Ethan at the very end of the episode.
