My twin brother once reminded me that each villiain in Batman is based on a certain personality trait of Batman's alter-ego, Bruce Wayne. The Penguin, for example, is based on how Bruce would be if he gained his money unlawfully. Therefore, based on Burgess's portrayal of him, a lot of people don't realize that the reason that the Penguin is so hard to catch is because he is so good at making his criminal fronts appear legitimate, This episode is a perfect example of it.
Batman may be honest, but the numbers at the campaign rallies have a hilarious realism to it.
The Penguin (in the end here) defines politics well. They pretend to be on your own side, but fake grief when they don't accomplish anything. They are in it for themselves and they make a career out of pretending to be on your side.
As Mr. Shakespeare said:
""To show an unfelt sorrow is an office / which the false man does easy..." "MACBETH" 2:3:161-162.
I love the way The Penguin acts like he is on Batman's side.Describing the trap and Then going for help.saying "it should have me more than 3 or 4 hours"
@cammy85 Don't worry, I thought the same thing as a kid when I first saw this episode, the Penguin DOES manage to pull fast ones over people even the viewers. One could be fooled into thinking that he'd want Batman alive to defeat in the election to see Batman's reaction to losing and then as mayor, have him hunted as a criminal......
Holy Acid Bubble Bath Batgraves for Batman and Robin! What A Way To Lose An Election By Dying And Geting Killed! Batman And Robin, Don't Just Lie There And Don't Trust Citizen Penguin to help you two out or come to your aid and your rescue! By Time He Gets There You Two Will Be In Batgraves! Do Something Guys!

Of all the hundreds of guests on this how, I would say that Paul Revere and the Raiders was my favorite. It is so great to see Paul and Mark together.

Word of advice Penguin if you want to win: hire the Rolling Stones or the Beatles to play at your rallies
