Well i did too. Also Iron Fist was released around the time of Doctor Strange because it gets people into the magic part of the MCU. It makes people believe in things like Shao Lao.

Well they hate each other now. It seems to be the reason Penguin is more of a business man we know him to be. Acting more proffessional than the other villains. Because he has learned from Nygma not to let his emotions get in the way.

I would think around Bruce's age would be good. After all, she was already using magic mushroom plants that make people fall asleep when she was young. Plus Gotham has a bunch of young characters around that age along with her. No issue on when Doctor Strange was released, that was a work of art. But the timing for Iron Fist's release was a bit off.

They didn't have much focus on Batman's other rogues, so it seemed natural they'd pair the fan favorites. But this Penguin is vastly different from other portrayals, being much darker and less comedic. Though at least his origin of working up his way through the hierarchy to finally become mob boss does tie in with his character. Nygma finally getting his green suit was something that really needed to happen.

I mean, yes she can be Bruce's age. But she doesn't need to be. Penguin and Riddler are both much older than Bruce in this version, when Riddler should have been around Batman's age. And like I said, unlike with Selina, Ivy being a kid didn't really achieve anything plotwise and since they needed her older it was kind of pointless she was that young at all. They also don't have Harley Quinn here yet, though granted she can't really appear until Joker completes his transformation first. I would like to see Dr. Harleen Quinzell showing up though.
