Der Pinguin

Published by Panini Deutschland from 2024 onward, Der Pinguin is a German-language adaptation of Tom King and Rafael de Latorre's acclaimed crime saga, translated by Jörg Faßbender. Spanning just two issues, this series follows the Penguin's gritty, methodical rise through Gotham's underworld, stripping away the character's campy veneer to reveal a cold, calculating kingpin. It matters as a key entry in the modern, noir-inflected Batman universe, showcasing de Latorre's visceral art and King's signature psychological depth.
