![]() The drastic shift in the Penguin's characterization from an elegant crime boss to a psychopathic politician with an animal-like appearance was met with mixed reactions from fans and critics, but DeVito's portrayal was largely praised. ![]() When he resurfaces years later as an adult, he tries to become a hero in the public's eyes and run for mayor, while secretly plotting to kill all of Gotham's firstborn sons. To match the darker tone of the film, this depiction of the Penguin is as a "freak of nature", with webbed, flipper-like fingers, a hooked, beak-like nose, and a penguin-like body, and was raised by penguins in Gotham City's condemned zoo after being abandoned by his wealthy parents as a baby. Portrayed by Danny DeVito, the character is adapted from the comic book supervillain of the same name. ![]() Guard: O = Can be blocked and interrupted/knocked back △ = Can be blocked, but not interrupted/knocked back X = Can't be blocked.Oswald Cobblepot, also known as the Penguin, is a fictional character in the 1992 film Batman Returns, directed by Tim Burton.

Fire magic can also be used to interrupt the Reapers while they are warping, using Flare Dance, or getting ready to use Thorn Whip. When fighting Reapers, it is a good idea to make frequent use of Fire magic, which Reapers are weak to, in order to deal a hefty amount of damage from a distance. ![]() They are also the only high-ranking Nobodies not named after a job class at the time of their debut: the scythe-wielding Reaper job did not appear until Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, two years after the release of Kingdom Hearts III. Their name is derived from the Final Fantasy Grim Reaper entity, who like Marluxia wields a scythe and is associated with Doom spells. In battle, it wields a scythe similar to Marluxia's Graceful Dahlia, with a large, pink blade with an upturned tip and multiple spikes resembling the Nobody emblem. It also wears wide, elbow-length mittens that fade from pink to white. When offensive, the petals of the bud open, revealing a humanoid head and torso, wearing a jacket with oversized, pointed shoulders and long pointed hood of faded pink. They have long, pointed petals shaped like the spikes of the Nobody emblem, which flow naturally into a short, twisted stem that splays out into "roots" with the same spiked shape. When idle, or when taking a defensive stance, they appear as a large, silvery-white flower bud, similar to certain features in Castle Oblivion. Meanwhile, when Rapunzel is by herself, Marluxia uses two Reapers to intimidate her into running back to Mother Gothel. Later, during the festival in the Kingdom, several Reapers along with other Nobodies appear to harass Sora, Donald, and Goofy while they watch the lanterns. Sora defeats the Reapers, prompting Marluxia to reveal himself to Sora. ![]() When he lets his guard down, the Reaper emerges from its idle state to attack Sora and his friends along with various other Reapers that appear, causing Sora to encourage Rapunzel and Eugene to seek safety deeper into the forest. While in the Kingdom of Corona, Sora encounters an idle Reaper, which appears as a large white flower bud, and investigates it to see if it is dangerous, although the Reaper remains idle and he passes it off as safe. ![]()
