Line 19:
* [[Love It or Hate It]]: Some fans think that the dialogue, acting, and overall tragic feel to the film gives it a weight and maturity that the other movies just don't have. Other fans believe that this movie is unreasonably dark and depressing, while simultaneously being completely ridiculous. The critics are similarly split.
* [[Misaimed Marketing]]: This is ''not'' a kids' movie, not by a long shot, but McDonald's had Happy Meal toys made of it. After the parental backlash, McDonald's pulled the toys.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Penguin has been parlaying his status as [[The Grotesque]] into a bid for the Mayor's office. When he gets [[Hoist
* [[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.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: With surprisingly gross behavior from the Penguin (i.e. biting a man's nose and his death scene where carcinogens pour from his mouth). There's also Selina's breakdown and Max Shreck's demise.
Line 26:
* [[No Problem With Licensed Games (Sugar Wiki)|No Problem With Licensed Games]]: The [[Sega Genesis]] and [[Super Nintendo]] game adaptations are actually fairly good, fun adaptations.
* [[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.
* [[The Problem
** The [[Konami]] games for the Nintendo systems were well-received. For the longest time, the [[Super Nintendo]] version was considered the best Batman game ever released. ([[Batman: Arkham Asylum|Until,]] [[Batman: Arkham City|you know...]])
** The [[Sega]] games for the Sega systems received mixed reviews (although the driving sections in the Sega CD version ''did'' score a decent reception).
** Don't know how the Atari Lynx version is received, but this is the Lynx we're talking about.
