I actually never noticed the similarities until I read this Cracked article:

I didn't want to start a new thread, but i read that Schreck is Yiddish for "fear".

Wouldv'e been cool (if slightly preposterous) if they were evil twin brothers lol Hey a Max Zorin blimp wouldv'e been of great use to Penguin and his aerial antics. And didn't one of Zorin's accomplices even have a monocle??? Oh yes! The old german guy in A View to a Kill. Coincedence indeed.
