Question: why does oswald cobblepot limp?
Answer: Cobblepot starts out as a small-time criminal working for mobster Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith). After Mooney discovers that Cobblepot is an informant for the Gotham City Police Department (GCPD), she hobbles him by breaking his ankle, giving him a waddle-like limp that befits his hated nickname, "Penguin".
