As a kid, I thought that it was the penguin who killed Fred and it was a treat of what could happen to Max if he refused. Now, I realized that Shreck was the murderer
I love how even in Batman Returns, Penguin is an criminal lord of the underworld. Even though the gang is themed after a circus, Penguin is still essentially a mafia boss.
Having Jack's Joker and Danny's Penguin on the screen at the same time and interacting with each other? I don't think I could handle that awesomeness overload.
Especially since they're longtime friends. Jack even advised Dan to get the deal that he got with the 1st Batman film, but since Jack already had it Dan couldn't get it.
It is a very original take on the character. However even though I can't stand the Arkham games' Penguin, I find the interpretation of the character played by Robin Lord Taylor in the Gotham series to be a worthy inclusion in the history of the Batman IP.
The lights, the scenography, the atmosphere, the characters, the suits, the story... Pure Tim Burton. You can see his hand even without reading the name of the director.
You can tell Burton had more creative control over Returns so the film turned out a lot better than the original 1989 film which he admitted was mostly a boring film. 1989 Batman didn't quite feel like a Tim Burton film. As a kid, I never liked the original film even though it had a better villain than Returns. Batman Returns seems to have a much better grasp of the universe of Gotham City, so it doesn't have to explain it like in the original film. The film just seems to have better characters and more of a story to tell. I felt like the only thing the original film had to say was that Batman/Wayne had issues with Jack/Joker because he killed his parents. The relationship between Bruce had with Vicky didn't feel as natural as with Selina. You could feel that Bruce actually cared about Selina more in this movie despite the fact that he didn't spend as much time with her and didn't get to sleep with her.
3:33- 3:36 is one of the only parts in the entire film in which I can tell it's Danny Devito. On that line, especially the word "Lagoon," you can hear a little of Devito's normal voice creeping in.
This penguin was so perfectly “dark”, say what you will about the the Burton Batman movies, IMO they had the perfect mix of comedy/humor/ridiculousness/emotion! I need to watch this movie again lol
This may be the finest bit of blackmail I've seen portrayed in a movie. Throughout his career, Schreck sent the evidence of his sins to the sewer, whether it be merely flushing some incriminating documents down the commode, disposing of the corpse of poor Fred, or dumping untold gallons of lethal toxic waste. It all went away; for him the Gotham sewers were Oblivion itself...or so he thought. Now Schreck is a soulless opportunist, so he isn't too rattled by this revelation and quickly moves to cut a deal. But the idea presented here is scary as hell. Imagine how terrifying it would be to have somebody in the shadows, someone you've never even met, patiently keeping a record of your dirty deeds, building leverage until he has absolute power over your life and reputation. I hear Cobblepot's working for the NSA these days. The government knows talent when it sees it.
That’s the thing with Penguin. Whenever a crime was committed, he always knew about it either before or within 24 hours after it was done and knew specifically who was involved. While he did commit crimes himself, he was like an information broker and was a regularly a source of information for Batman when he needed information.
Thats beautifully put. I went to find things clip again. I like the part when he pulls out the severed body parts of Max's former partner he murdered and thats what finally makes the unscrupulous businessman break and cooperate.
Does anyone get the feeling that Max Shreck became a powerful conglomerate because of the power vacuum left by Grissom and The Joker? In fact, Max may have been an associate of th former.
Grissom’s network had ties to everything, so it’s possible Axis Chemicals and other companies were up for grabs after Grissom and Napier were killed. Gotham is an easy city to take over if you’re rich and determined.
There are two things that really make this movie work: Michelle Pfieffer as Catwoman and Danny Devito as the Penguin. Perfect casting. Amazing performances.
@@zt1053 Disagree. Walken was the ONLY GOOD THING about View to a Kill when he played Max Zorin. But then again, he would have fared better with Timothy Dalton’s Bond than Roger Moore’s aging Bond.
Wow, this scene really laid the foundation for Max's status as a diabolical villain. You want to see him go down for his crimes and be sent to prison where he belongs. But deep down inside, you're also thinking that he deserves so much worse.
This is by far Danny's underrated performance he was the perfect choice for the character I never get why people never liked his performance as penguin he got the character so right in this movie
For those who don't know, in the first draft of the Screenplay, Max was revealed to be Penguin's Brother, who got jealous of him when he was born, and he was supposed to be the one who threw him into the sewer (he had the same idea as his parents though).
*Cue Pedantic Internet Person* Actually, no. He showed Max the hand, but Max didn't take it, therefore the Penguin never truly gave it to Max. No, no, no need to thank me for ruining your joke.
So underrated. And in hindsight fastly becoming my favourite batman film. Oh how nice third burton one would've been. Hands down the most adult batman and very brave for it. The world wasn't ready, very ahead of its time.
Love watching this as a 40 yr old adult compared to when I was a teenager in the 90s... it has a completely different feel through now an adults eyes....... Danny and Michelle were cast perfectly for these roles. Nobody catch touch their performances
It took me a while to realize that the Penguin only _found_ Max's associate's dismembered body. When I first watched this, it went over my head; I thought the Penguin killed Fred, but no, it was Max.
3:53 'A lot of tape, and a little patience make all the difference.' Funnily enough one of the 'Worst Case Scenario Handbooks' actually includes that line in the chapter on how to reassemble shredded documents (course in that situation it's assumed they were shredded by accident).
Kinda late in responding but I find that line funny, but also find when Max turns around and that penguin squawks at him kinda funny as well! The poodle lady seems more annoyed than anything regarding Max: flat and almost emotionless with little facial expression, there's also a few moments where the penguins seem to be laughing-listen to their reaction after Max jumps from the hypnotic umbrella and you'll see what I mean.) Happy viewing!
Ethan Diffey no but the teenage mutant ninja turtles are born by mutation and live in a sewers with a ninja rat sensei master in New York City underneath a sewer
Phnates 2 yes I would love to see a lego Danny DeVito penguin MiniFigure along with Jack Nicholson Joker as well as Tommy Lee Jones Two-Face Jim Carrey Riddler and Uma Thurman Poison Ivy Arnold Schwarzenegger Mr Freeze Jeep Swenson Bane and Michelle Pfiefer CatWoman as well as Pat Hingle Commissioner Gordon and Michael Gough Alfred the Butler and the two face’s sugar and spice as well as Kim Basinger Vicki Vale Nicole Kidman Chase Meredian and Chris O’Donnell robin and the Michael Keaton Val Kilmer and George Clooney Bruce Wayne and Elle Macpherson Julie Newmar and even Rachel Dawes with Lucius fox and Ducard and Ra’s al Ghul and Scarecrow from Batman begins as well as Christian Bale Bruce Wayne and Michael Caine Bruce Wayne and John Blake with Gary oldman commissioner Gordon and Anne Hathaway CatWoman
One similarity between Christopher walken and Heath Ledger is that they both were villains in a Batman movie and they also sang "can't take my eyes off of you" in prior movies ( deer hunter and ten things I hate about you)
Of course Danny Devito is amazing in this role. However I’d love to see another take on the penguin again at some point, just because he’s such a fascinating villain
If ever there was a great application for the *Villain/ Real Villain* memes, it's this movie. Although Shrek is clearly a villain, I think Penguin is more a result of tragedy here.
Love how Schreck, throughout the entire movie, never seems genuinely freaked out by anything he’s witnessing, only mildly intrigued or - at worst - slightly unnerved.
"Actually, this is all just a bad dream. You`re home in bed, heavily sedated, resting comfortably ... dying from the carcinogens you personally spewed in a lifetime of profiteering. Tragic irony, or poetic justice? You tell me."
This version of Penguin stands apart from all other Penguins. Terrifying. Deformed. Repulsive. Twisted. Everything that the current iterations of Penguins are not. It's different. And it's memorable.
I always thought Penguin was the one who killed that Fred Atkins guy (Max's old partner). It was Max who killed him. Penguin was using Fred's death, the toxic waste from Max's Power Plant and those documents to blackmail him.
The Red Triangle Circus Gang is fascinating to me. Such a calm motely crew. So weird and they seemed so close in solidarity with each other. Wish they were in the Batman Universe more. Hopefully with the '89 comics we will see more of them
They were on the road for years, a group of marginalized people in a marginal form of entertainment. They bonded, and maybe they decided that the world owes them something. With that said, while I have not seen the full movie since it came out, it looks like they don't outwardly display emotion as their comrades are caught (and sometimes killed).
The only people who disliked it were parents who thought Batman should be kid friendly and comic book purists who don't like changes from the comics , ironically some of those very same book book purists never said a word about the things Nolan changed .
Danny Devito nailed the role as Penguin. He is awesome. Also the look of the Penguin originally came from a drawing that Tim Burton drew from his mind in an drawing book before the sequel was written and went into production.
Yeah I'm realizing the screenplay is a big part of why this movie is awesome...gave the actors good stuff to work with, witty, dark, pervy, all good stuff lol
When I was younger, I never realized that Penguin was blackmailing Shreck. I just thought he was showing him some random stuff
Lol same 😆
same i just realized that 😅
I thought the shredded documents was the stuff you put in Easter baskets 🤪
As a kid, I thought that it was the penguin who killed Fred and it was a treat of what could happen to Max if he refused. Now, I realized that Shreck was the murderer
@@teencritik5512 yeah! I thought the same thing too! Lol
I love how even in Batman Returns, Penguin is an criminal lord of the underworld. Even though the gang is themed after a circus, Penguin is still essentially a mafia boss.
Penguin wearing a top hat and suit reminds me of a ringmaster since he leads a bunch of circus performers.
Its kinda funny how Joker and Penguin's schticks were switched with these 2 movies, but still make it work.
me too he was a real crime lord
What exactly is he paying them with?
th-cam.com/video/1TOUQsrmuLY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Jobnmk91doazcxfj
“Tragic irony or poetic justice?”
I love that quote. Danny Devito killed it as The Penguin
Amen to that.
Danny Devito gives an amazing performance in this film.
Mckenzie .Latham Damn right!
No doubt. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if it were Joe Pesci playing the part. But Danny DeVito nonetheless played it very well.
Dude i know Danny is a great penguin in the movie of batman forever.
I can't believe those hacks at the Razzies tried to nominate him for worst performance, this was a genuinely incredible performance.
My favorite role of his
3:53 LOL, Penguin really is the most patient villain ever.
He’s more patient than me
He’s *WAY* more patient than me. Who would’ve thought that a man raised in the sewers would have more patience than me. (And more charisma)
I wonder how this Penguin would interact with Jack's Joker
Luke Zoupp I always wondered that.
Having Jack's Joker and Danny's Penguin on the screen at the same time and interacting with each other? I don't think I could handle that awesomeness overload.
Especially since they're longtime friends. Jack even advised Dan to get the deal that he got with the 1st Batman film, but since Jack already had it Dan couldn't get it.
Joker: ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
They'd probably work together really well. Both like clowns. Then again both can be unpredictable. Kinda feel like the two would be best buddies.
"Tragic irony or poetic justice? You tell ME..."
epic
"WEHH!"
My favorite line in the movie
NOBODY should touch this character ever again! NOBODY can do it better than Danny did. He really is the penguin in my book!
True Danny DeVito Was Great As The Penguin Big Time!
It is a very original take on the character. However even though I can't stand the Arkham games' Penguin, I find the interpretation of the character played by Robin Lord Taylor in the Gotham series to be a worthy inclusion in the history of the Batman IP.
You clearly have never seen Gotham
Dude, he gave me nightmares as a kid, now I look at him as good ol' Frank Reynolds. Now instead of scaring me, he makes me laugh.
Agreed anything else is idiotic
The lights, the scenography, the atmosphere, the characters, the suits, the story... Pure Tim Burton. You can see his hand even without reading the name of the director.
Who’d have ever thought Danny DeVito and Christopher Walken would be huge contributors to the best Batman film ever made? Classic.

This one and the previous one with Nicholson are the best by far

@@BlackCover95 Two. Not four. The other two are in Schumacherverse, different from the Burtonverse.
@Papa Juan Pablo
I use to say that... Now that we get all this MCU Bs, I've decided to change my mind.
It’s really great although Gotham was Tim Burtoned a lot compared to the first movie where it felt different

Hearing Christopher Walken say "Frankly, I feel that's a bum rap." to Danny Devito is one of the greatest moments in cinematic history.
This may be my favorite Walken performance.
This hands down is Danny DeVito's best
I Agree!
Mr Blue Don't you mean "flippers down"?
ok
i don't think Fred would agree :P
Mr Blue and red bull arena is the same as a whole new level benefiting regards David David David David and he is a great time and I

Classic Burton film
Tom Burton makes one of a kind movies IMO

Danny DeVito is Great As The Penguin in This Film Huge Danny DeVito Fan Cause Of Batman Returns The Penguin is My #1 Favorite Batman Villain Ever!
This movie was just perfect in every way possible.
One similarity between Christopher walken and Heath Ledger is that they both were villains in a Batman movie and they also sang "can't take my eyes off of you" in prior movies ( deer hunter and ten things I hate about you)
Of course Danny Devito is amazing in this role. However I’d love to see another take on the penguin again at some point, just because he’s such a fascinating villain

Love how Schreck, throughout the entire movie, never seems genuinely freaked out by anything he’s witnessing, only mildly intrigued or - at worst - slightly unnerved.
I actually sympothize with the penguin in this scene.
Jameson 87 likewise
He was lying though. He was faking every sympathetic emotion to try and trick max
The sad thing is that even though it’s a trick, we do know where the Penguin's motivation and hatred comes from.

Danny Devito nailed the role as Penguin. He is awesome. Also the look of the Penguin originally came from a drawing that Tim Burton drew from his mind in an drawing book before the sequel was written and went into production.
You know, penguin could have sped this up without blackmail. All he needed was more cowbell.
Can I just pay credit to the genius Daniel Waters who wrote this screenplay, who also wrote the great movie Heathers.
Yeah I'm realizing the screenplay is a big part of why this movie is awesome...gave the actors good stuff to work with, witty, dark, pervy, all good stuff lol
In this movie the penguin acts like he is the Joker and Jack nicolshon's Joker acts like he's the penguin
