Penguin has discovered his past, his identiy... his name. He is rather bafflingly named OSWALD COBBLEPOT. I think I preferred 'The Penguin', jeez. Despite being treated like a number two, Oswald doesn't hate his ol' folks. They are forgiven for their evil deeds! But is society? Joining the team as Special Guest Investigators are the Tight and Nerdy burlesque star herself, Audra Wolfmann  (aka...

Our morose Penguin lays a flower at his parents' grave... he's a family man after all. Clad in a beautiful fur coat and delightful long johns, our grotesque one waddles towards his admiring fans. This is a sombre time... or is it all that it seems? Who better to get to the bottom of this corpse-side catechism than a man familiar with these very surroundings? Joining as special guest investiga...

Batman manages the impossible - he sneaks up on somebody in that damn rocket car of his. Good work! The Penguin then heads to the local cemetery to tackle his past. Or is this all for show? The groupies are certainly transfixed. You're a star, baby! Oh behave! Back again is  Johnie Danger Powers  of Austin Powers Minute ! Johnie joins our crew to take down this twisted former aristocrat....

The Only Lonely Man Beast in Town. No, it's not the latest Morrissey number, but thanks for the great words Alfred. Bruce's microfiche findings are dark indeed - children have been disappearing!

The Penguin is a simple man. All he wants is to find out who his folks were! Aww! Who knew he was such a nice guy, eh? Nature vs Nurture takes centre stage.

The Dark Duck Rises! The Penguin is a hero! Or is he? The crowd goes wild, the flash bulbs explode and our chap is startled and bemused. Meanwhile, Alfred decorates Wayne Manor ALL BY HIMSELF!

We need somebody with the knowledge that can rein our Bat Minute cats in! The next episode follows on...

To assist our crew on their investigation we've called in assistance from the very best once more - it's filmmaker  Natasha Kermani...

Selina the hacker! HACK THE PLANET! Unfortunately, her boss doesn't seem all that enthused about this wake-up call from the Nintendo generation.
