Just in case we need further evidence that Bruce Wayne is a jerk:

Earlier in the comic, he teaches Dick to keep these comments to himself, so at least there’s that.

I thought I’d give my point of view of Penguin first appearance, I thought the story was good and it was a great way to introduce the villain.
I’m thrill that they brought him back a month later so we can learn more about him, and it was a chance for the character to grow and develop on what he’ll become.
