But that made no sense at all. If Mayor Penguin was really this slow-witted and stupid, how had he become mayor?
As mentioned before, Batman had drawn a line for Penguin. The two had an unspoken understanding. Batman knew that among Gotham's many lunatics, Penguin was relatively harmless, so as long as he did not cross the line, the two could even cooperate.
But once Penguin crossed that line and tried to touch Gotham's true core of power, Batman would definitely come down on him hard.
It was not as though Penguin had never tried. But who was Batman? No movement, however slight, could escape Batman's eyes. No matter how hard Penguin racked his brains to weave schemes and conspiracies, he ultimately could not advance a single step.

The Main Universe's Penguin refused to believe it. He investigated another assassination case involving the mayor, and this one was even more absurd.
This time, Penguin's target was a female judge and legal expert from a rival party. During the election, she had proposed several measures aimed at Penguin, so Penguin had kidnapped and assassinated her.

The strangest part was that the female lead—the judge herself—did
