Oswald Cobblepot has trafficked with a wide variety of criminals and has rubbed elbows with everyone from the Condiment King to Two-Face. In his long career, he has run into very few villains he can say he honestly fears. Some of them are powerful but have no powerbase with which to harm him, like Bane. Others have power but he has cultivated enough of a working relationship with them, like the Joker. And some he just knows he can outsmart. Roman Sionis was one.
But this man... this is a man Cobblepot has only met once, a man Cobblepot only knows by reputation. A man who is said to have fought the entire Justice League to a standstill, a man who is said to have come within a hair's width of killing Superman.
This man is completely out of Penguin's league. Him and anyone who's ever worked for him.
