Although Magpie quickly has her wings clipped, shes an obscure but infamous Batman foe.
While incarcerated at the Arkham State Hospital, Sofia Falcone hears whispering from the cell next door.
She meets with Margaret (Marie Botha), who is better known as Magpie.
Sofia is wrongly framed for the murders of multiple women and earns herself the moniker of the Hangman.
Ironically, Magpie becomes her first (known) kill.
Comic book Magpie lives much longer and was first introduced in 1986sThe Man of Steel#3.
She doesnt have any superpowers, which makes her a perfect fit for the grounded world ofThe Penguin.
That was typically short-lived because Black Lantern eventually resurrected her.
In terms of live-action, Sarah Schenkkan played Magpie inGothamand Rachel Matthews portrayed her in The CWsBatwoman.
