Particularly given that the Penguin derived his name from his appearance, he took the name others mocked him with, played into it and made it a name to be reckoned with. His successor assuming the name "Emperor Penguin" is just a sad case trying too hard.

I'm just wondering why not even one of "Emperor Penguin"'s lieutenants didn't figure on the idea of shooting him in front of Cobblepot as a way of winning points from the guy.

Because as far as the lieutenant is concerned, Ogilvy has all the funds sewn up and he has all the power.

Or, if they were THAT smart, they probably wouldn't be working for a villain at all, they'd be doing it for themselves in a major corporation
