Our featured MOC for this month is Batman vs. The Penguin created by Berrybrick.

The Penguin's submarine is based on its appearance in the 1966 Batman movie (starring Adam West). Batgirl's inclusion is inspired by an episode of the 1966-68 Batman show, Exit Penguin, enter Batgirl, where the Barbara Gordon version of the character made her debut. In the episode, Penguin kidnaps Barbara and plans to marry her in hopes of having his criminal record cleared as Commissioner Gordon's son-in-law. The shark is also a reference to the '66 Batman movie. In the opening scene, Batman was attacked by an exploding shark. The final prints on the henchman would have SHARK written on the back, as a reference to Penguin's henchmen being named after birds and sea creatures in the show. Batman and the robotic penguins are loosely based on the 1992 Batman Returns movie, which featured The Penguin as the main antagonist. Batgirl and Penguin are based on their comic appearances. The batboat is a redesign of the one included in 7780 The Batboat: Hunt for Killer Croc.

As this MOC was made in LEGO Digital Designer, all minifigures are missing prints, some headgear and accessories, and stickers are also absent
