Line 3:
** Because that dog took it.
** I thought that thing was poorly executed. They should have made it bulkier and faster. As is, it looked like a thin piece of plastic that gently taps criminals on the forehead and into submission.
*** Which is preferable to how otherwise murder-happy the Burton Batman is.
* When a public zoo becomes condemned, is it customary for the staff to leave the penguins behind to thrive on their own?
** Considering what a [[Crapsack World]] this is, I'm honestly not surprised; maybe the staff were ordered to euthanize the animals but couldn't bring themselves to do it.
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
*** Didn't the awful, awful Catwoman flick pretty much confirm that she's got some sort of magic powers? Michelle Pfeiffer's character was among the photos of the other Catwomen the crazy lady shows to Halle Berry.
**** I could've sworn that the Halle movie was actually just based off of the character of Catwoman. It just made comic book fans freak out because of Halle and they thought it would be about the actual Catwoman
*** For starters, Returns was made ''well'' before anyone considered that movie. For a second, I seriously doubt anyone is going to take anything from that movie as canon to ''[[Batman Returns (Film)|Batman Returns]]'', considering that photo and the name are the only things they have in common.
* We learn that Shreck is a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] because he plans to build a power plant that actually intentionally ''drains'' power from Gotham City instead of generating it. What would Shreck gain from this at all? He can't really do much with the energy he's just "stockpiling somewhere", and when people start realizing there's a power shortage ''they're going to blame the power plant,'' even if they don't catch on to the plan.
** [[For the Evulz]], really.
Line 40 ⟶ 41:
** Well, it's either that or try to make a break for it - and considering some of the firearms the Red Triangle Gang had in their arsenal, that would ''not'' have been a good idea.
** I always thought that he was just going to hypnotize the kids with the umbrella.
* This is more of a ''[[Batman Forever (Film)|Batman Forever]]'' headscratcher, but since it doesn't have its own page- why is everyone completely okay with Batman again by the beginning of ''Forever?'' The only person who could have spoken for him being innocent to his kidnap and murder charge was the Ice Princess, unfortunately said murder victim.
** Odds are that what was left of the Red Triangle Gang, was rounded up and testified against the penguin as well as most of the other crimes they helped him commit. Penguin died so they weren't afraid of his wrath anymore.
** Plus, when Penguin sent some of the gang members out to kidnap the first-born kids and Batman stopped them, it's implied that he took them to the police, so odds are Batman was able to clear his name.
Line 52 ⟶ 53:
** [[Crapsack World|It's Gotham]], and worse, it's [[Truth in Television|Gotham based on New York.]]
* After the fight between them after the Ice Princess incident, why does Batman just leave Catwoman where she is instead of trying to get her arrested?
** Tim Burton in recent years has revealed that he actually has a lot of disdain for comic books and comic book fans. So the likely explanation is that a lot of the bad/nonsensical writing in these movies, like that, is Burton's condescending/insulting view of how comic book writing works. ("Catwoman and Batman have a thing, so obviously Batman just lets Catwoman get away all the time.")
