'Gotham' Season 4 Spoilers: Penguin Deals With First Setback After Return to Power
Things will not go as Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) planned in the upcoming season premiere of "Gotham."
In the episode titled "Pax Penguina," the synopsis revealed that Penguin's "licensing" of crime in the city will fail during the grand opening of his new Iceberg Lounge. The villain is back to take his place as king of the Gotham underworld in season 4. He even has a new headquarters where he hopes to manage his activities "legally." However, it looks like his idea will go down the drain so fast that he will not be able to think of a back-up plan.
Penguin has a lot to prove to his followers in the new installment. When it was revealed that Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) took him down, he lost many of his loyal servants. It has been teased that his return to power will not be easy. For one, there is the threat that his former best friend will come back to get revenge.
