When Barbara Gordon attempts to do something nice for a friend, she ends up in the clutches of The Penguin, a high school mob boss who blackmails her into an increasingly desperate situation from which only Batgirl can save her.
Tropes:
- Accidental Public Confession: Batgirl uses the Penguin's own phone to broadcast his admission of guilt over the stadium's screen.
- Blackmail: The Penguin keeps embarrassing and incriminating photos of all his clients in order to get them to do his bidding.
- Blackmail Backfire: After Babs steals his phone, her and everyone else in the school is free of his blackmailing.
- Fixing the Game: For her final task, The Penguin has Babs steal Hal's lucky socks so that Metropolis loses the game and he can reap all the money from selling merchandise of the rival team.
- I Know A Guy: The Penguin's main role. Also what Babs said when asked how she got Steve Lombard to give Hal the shoes.
- Mythology Gag: The Penguin has the squawk laugh of his 66 Batman counterpart, and his henchmen have "GOON" t-shirts like his 66 henchmen did. And during an Imagine Spot he's wearing his traditional formal tail-suit and top-hat.
- The famous pro football quarterback whose shoes Babs wants to give to Hal? Steve Lombard, who in the comics was on the Metropolis Meteors before joining the Daily Planet staff.
- Oral Fixation: The Penguin has a pencil on his mouth in imitation of the original character's trademark cigarette holder.
- The Pigpen: Hal Jordan apparently never washed his socks all year.
