Batman Returns/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Penguin has been parlaying his status as [[The Grotesque]] into a bid for the Mayor's office. When he gets [[Hoist by His Own Petard|hoisted by his own petard]] via an [[Engineered Public Confession]], he reveals his true plans to his hench-clowns: to kill all the first-born sons of Gotham. He then proceeds to [[Kick the Dog]] by shooting the Fat Clown dead when he points out that killing babies is a little too much for him to take.

* [[Narm Charm]]: {{spoiler|The Penguin's death. When Oswald, wearing pajamas, asks for a drink of ice water as his last words, falls over dead, and is ceremoniously pushed into the sewer by a six emperor penguins, acing as pallbearers, while sad and dramatic music plays in the background, it should be completely ridiculous}}! But somehow, it isn't. The scene still works, and is actually rather moving.

* [[Older Than They Think]]: Despite being a [[Darker and Edgier]] movie from a [[Darker and Edgier]] time, the primary villains have major callbacks to their [[Silver Age]] incarnations: Penguin's gang and weaponized penguins wouldn't have been terribly out of place in the [[Adam West]] TV show, and Catwoman's personality shifts were the explanation given in comics for why Batman was [[Dating Catwoman]]: he wanted her good personality.

* [[One-Scene Wonder]]:

** Lisa Guerrero as a volunteer who gets not-so-subtly groped by the Penguin. She's credited as "Campaign Bimbo".

* [[The Problem with Licensed Games]]: Depends on which systems were released for.

** The [[Sega]] games for the Sega systems received mixed reviews (although the driving sections in the Sega CD version ''did'' score a decent reception).

* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: Selina's apartment, before her [[Evil Makeover]]. Seriously, what grown woman has that many stuffed animals, dollhouses, and pink stuff everywhere? This may be a sign of an already present mental imbalance (i.e. she is the type to cover everything with optimism).
