Penguin is the personification of self-pity. For the pain and loneliness he has dealt during his childhood, he was a man tainted by evil. The promising of him killing Batman as his last words before dying for good really shows how sad and lonely he really felt after being betrayed by his own people who couldn't take his appearance seriously.
@minder01 Yes and the circus gang kind of was his family since Max Shreck said to him, "your extended family, it's good to have a family." Plus, even though these penguins kind of raised him when seeing him in the baby basket, he kind of was their father since he called them his babies.
For real. it's grimly comic, it's so over the top it loops back around into being deeply moving, and manages to be both at the same time. it's genuinely impressive.
Let's not forget that Back when this film came out..a loooot of noise revolved around it just for being more violent, and yeah some have oddly declared it as a bad sequel. These days however the appreciation it receives is better than ever
The brilliance of Danny DeVito. He did a superb job of making us fear and hate him because of how evil he was, but feel sorry even sad for him when he died. He sold all of it so well. Super underrated performance.
One thing I noticed is that Penguin is the only Batman Villain in the Burton-Schumacher series that didn't know or care who was behind the mask after the mask was off.
One of the thing's that's so great about this movie is that Burton wasn't repeating the beats of the first film or following a formula. There was no reason for The Penguin to care in this story, so he didn't. Today, the superhero genre is so ingrained in everyone's minds, it has developed a recognizable set of tropes and themes, and I think that a lot of writers subconsciously follow these tropes. If you're hero has a secret identity, OF COURSE you're going to have the villain make a big meal out of finding it out, because that's how it's always done. The thought of not doing it like that doesn't even cross your mind...
I think he was so close to death that he didn’t care. He knew in himself that he was dying he may not have even noticed Batman was unmasked. He was losing a lot of blood his vision was probably shot to the point where all he sees is silhouettes.
@@yohananben-gad366 your use of "tropes" shows how shallow your thinking is. it isn't just a trendy plotline to follow, it's common sense. the villains wanna find the identity behind the hacker or the nazi irl cuz when you build a persona people wanna find out what's behind it even if it's not conflict people want that. in this scene tho penguin has no reason to care
The penguins sadly dragging his body to the water makes me cry every time. I was five when I saw this movie, and it was the first time a movie made me shed a tear
This feels like the saddest death scene for a villain. Danny DeVito deserves high praise for making Tim Burton’s version of the Penguin most unforgettable.
I never noticed that before, that is truly heartbreaking when you think about it. What’s also sad is the fact that Penguin’s parents accomplished what they wanted when they threw him into the sewer it just took a little longer than they probably thought.
The Penguin, was born, unloved by mankind, abandoned to his supposed death by his parents. He fought in his own way to be loved, tempted, he ran for mayor, but his psychotic tendencies got the best of him, and he became his own undoing. He fled to the sewers, this time willingly, he abandoned his humanity, that he once sought, and decided to take his rejection by mankind, as the just cause for a war of annihilation, but failing that, he hoped at least to take out the "fake freak" batman. In the end, the Penguin died, loved by the only living creatures that ever loved him in his entire life. His penguins. AND that's why this movie is so damn great!
it's sad that we live in a world where parents despise their own children just for bieng born deformed. fortunatly there are parents who love their children dispite having been born deformed
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ending this unrelentingly bleak in a blockbuster movie made ever since. Catwoman succumbed to her inner demons, the Penguin died unloved by humanity, Shreck is never taken to justice, and Batman is left all alone unable and trapped by his alter ego after Selina’s rejection. Even though other Batman movies are darker, there’s always some sense of triumph at the end even when it’s not a completely happy ending. This one just ended with every one of the major characters losing, and no sense of hope.
I think I recall once seeing a Batman cartoon where he stated that sometimes there are no happy endings. This movie was the first time I really understood that. In the end, no one really comes out of this happy.
The Dark Knight says hi. It ended with the untimely fall from grace of Harvey Dent, a promising attorney with Batman having to sacrifice his own reputation to keep the city morally healthy.
@@Guyverman01 But that one at least ended with Gotham City morally healthy and less crime-ridden for eight years. Hence that movie’s famous line “The night is darkest just before the day.” It wasn’t a happy ending by any stretch, but it also felt oddly hopeful. Batman’s sacrifices would not be in vain. Even Joker, which ended really bleakly, at least had a tiny sliver of hope in that you know Bruce Wayne is going to grow up to be Batman and save Gotham one day. Batman Returns felt like an ending where there was no silver lining. Batman saved Gotham City one more time, but it still remained a crime-ridden hellhole.
Every great director needs a great composer to bring his work to life through music and vice versa. That's why anything Burton and Elfman do is going to be an absolute banger of a film.
One of the most powerful and most unforgettable scenes in the history of cinema. I was young when I saw this movie and I did not understand it, but this scene when the penguin died has always shook me. Then I learned a lot of things about life. Unfortunately, Hollywood no longer makes movies like this.
Usually it's all cupcakes and rainbows for the kids, s*x for the teens, and the beautifully dark movies for adults. You never really see a dark kids movie now a days, and that's what makes them so beautiful.
@@KlidesCorneroftheInternet It's always good to break the mould and do something completely different for a change. People like to be scared for fun, especially children, most are capable of seeing dark movies like the ones by Tim Burton.
@@reneastle8447 agreed, and expose the kids to it a bit (as long as it's not as explicit) rather than "protect their innocence". The kids will grow up anyways. I get that childhoods are precious, but we're basically babying children by showing them the awful "haha fart funny" punchline, instead of giving them a good story and a deep plot, then force them to "grow up" once their adolecense ends.
@@KlidesCorneroftheInternet Children need to be given good stories and deep plots, not boring ones. The only way those boring stories can be good is be improving them. Dark stories don't have to be explicit or gory.
Penguin 1: "We followed him as far as we could..." Penguin 2: "You must not blame yourself brother. None of us knew how far he had fallen into madness." Penguin 3: "Where do we go now? The master is dead...." Penguin 1: "He would have wanted us to return to the sea....for that is where we truly belong." (Crosspost from another video)
I guess Batman feel the same, thats why he don't want to kill anyone, he realize that all the villans are just miserables beings filled with rage and bad blood for a world that they don't feel part of it.
I showed this film to my girlfriend, who is not a huge fan of Batman, and throughout the film she was both impressed by Devito's acting but also disgusted with the character. She had many mixed emotions towards The Penguin. "All I want....is a chance...a chance to find my mom and dad....a chance to find out who they are. And thusly who I am. And then...with my parents...try to understand....why? Why they did what I guess they felt they had to do to a child who was born...a little different. A child...who spent his first Christmas...and many since...in a sewer." She teared up at that moment because of Danny Devito's acting. She thought that was so genuine and sad and then after seeing him at his parents grave where he puts the two roses down, she cried for him. But as the film continued, she started feeling less and less sorry for him. When he was talking about planning to kill children, she out loud said, "He's lost all sympathy from me! I don't feel sorry for him anymore!" I had to pause it and explain to her the scene where he's in the Hall of Records supposedly trying to find out about his parents that he was really finding out the names of all the first borns and that's what that list was that Catwoman was peaking at earlier and that he already knew who his parents were and that he just looking for a way to go in the Hall of Records. She got so mad and said that he was pure evil and that she had no sympathy for him at all. I nodded and said "Ok. Let's let you finish the movie." She said alright. We continued watching it and when we got to this scene, I watched her reaction the whole time. The moment Penguin rises out of the water, she looked shocked and as the scene progressed I saw tears forming in her eyes. Then she started crying when the penguins were taking him towards the water. Goes to show how much the right musical score can change a lot of how you feel about a character.
David Stone it’s a fantastic movie, rather watch one of these anyways, I don’t care how much cgi and pixels technology has advanced, nothing beats the genuine emotional scripts and compensating for all the technology they used to do to form an actual good movie
David Stone yep, yep! I don’t even go to the movies anymore, it’s hard enough watching 80% of action/otherwise movies nowadays with a laser or roundhousekick or something xplosion going off ever five seconds and the screen changing views every 2 seconds And by the time I leave the theatre after a marvel movie I’m basically cross-eyed for the rest of the day 😂 Probably gonna go watch a few of these old Batman’s or 80’s/90’s movies after reading your comment though! Much more hope in peoples opinion
@@Martin-zr2tb Yeah. I like the MCU fine. But nothing compares to older films. I'm having a old school movie marathon with a couple friends. We're watching Candyman, The Silence Of The Lambs, Misery, The Shining and Psycho.
danny elfman really made me cry for the penguin with this beautiful music. it’s so powerful. and then tim burton adds to more of my tears with the penguin pallbearers. god damn it i love it
FUN FACT: It was rumored that Max Shreck was actually supposed to be Harvey Dent. When Batman revealed his corpse, he was only supposed to be unconscious with half of his face burnt and, to set the story line for two-face in a future movie.
They also were gonna have them as brothers too in the first shooting script. In the first scene Max was a toddler around 2 or 3 and he's there staring at Oswald in the cage and the mom was like "Maxie, quit staring at your brother!" Then he eats the cat and they dump him. Then they die and Max somehow doesn't end up with their money and not knowing Ossie was his bro until later in the movie. Then he has a scene near the climax when he's in the cage where he mentions he was glad they dumped him, really screwed up it was. Wish they kept it in honestly, it woulda made Max a total ass. I see Walken revlening in that.
What I like about this movie is that it’s true, deepest story revolves around the villain, not the hero. The penguin as a character was deep and had layers - his cruel abandonment, his attempt to be accepted by humanity, his revenge, his anger. The film made us sympathize with the villain which is not too common. Though he was a villain nonetheless, and did terrible things that can’t be justified, the movie explores the motives behind his crimes. One of my personal favorite Batman movies tbh.
I love this scene. It's scary in silence - the "monstrous" villain, somehow still alive, rises from the deep and slowly advances on our hero, unawares. But Danny Elfman gives him a moving, almost dignified motif as he struggles forward. You almost want him to get to the right umbrella. What a strange, odd, and thoroughly unique choice to make. They don't make them like this anymore.
I like that in the end he gets his humanizing moment. By grabbing the mobile umbrella you’re immediately reminded “oh yea he was just a baby tossed into the sewer to die” and puts a nice bow on the film’s underlying theme of how we create and shun the freaks in our world
Even after all he did. Even after what he's trying to do in this clip. He's EVIL at this point, and yet in the end you feel SYMPATHY for him?? It's very well done.
As far back as I can remember this was the first time I genuinely felt sorrow for a villains passing. Normally it’s in grand fashion like Disney or even the original Batman, but this was a solemn, somber moment when a tragic character goes to his death. Burton knows how to make you see the human inside the monster, and the monster inside the human (Max Shreck).
If the Penguin had been given a chance at a decent upbringing by loving parents, he'd most likely have turned out almost completely normal. His insanity stems from not forming any emotional connections as a child. Like Shreck told Bruce, "if his parents hadn't 86ed him, you two might have been bunkies at prep school". Very sad scene about a very emotionally damaged man who just wanted to find his place in life.
I think you're forgetting that he let revenge consume him. He didn't just want to find his place, he lucked into the opportunity of a lifetime being mayor after all, no he wanted to see others turned into what he was. A sad villain, but a villain none the less.
Andrew H the funniest thing about that being buddies thing is that in the telltale series they actually are buddies from they're childhood but of course penguin changes and becomes a villain also didn't his parents here about abortion before abandoning him ? 😂 sorry that just made me laugh while typing
@@twostep919 Sure, I'm not condoning his actions, but imagine not having a single human being your entire life from birth who ever loved you in any way, and what kind of mental damage that could do. He didn't have the capability of rational thought or emotion, and despite his intelligence and articulation, he was really very childish at heart; his actions at their very core are simply lashing out like a tantruming kid. And yes, that is the opportunity of a lifetime, but it couldn't make up for an entire life of emotional deprivation.
@@andrewh5136 - I think you've explained the first part of your original post, but I still don't think he was just "trying to find his place in life". Either way, interesting take on a great villain!
The atmospehre of that movie is still touching! So sad and creepy! The music, the setting, the costumes... Great work from Burton! And perfect actors with Keaton, Pfeiffer, Walken - and a legendary Devito! Can't remember any disgusting "monster" you wanna hug so much. Poor, lonely Mr. Cobblepott! Masterpiece!
@@nunyvanstta135 He completely lost it at that point. His humanity was gone. I think the penguins knew that. They knew the end was near and they loved him so much and knew they were all he had. They didn't mind giving their lives for him.
This film is a gothic masterpiece. DeVito's performance is one of the great performances. Truly strange, demented and utterly heartbreaking. I really wish that one more could have happened with Burton and Keaton again...
I can't feel sorry for him, after pondering everything he did. People who were rejected like him, deformed like him, didn't do even half of what he did.
Michael Keaton is almost on par with Christopher Reeve in terms of the character's demeanor shifting. Bruce is so desperate to find Selina, the anguish and vulnerability are palpable. But then he senses Penguin, turns around, and there's nothing in his expression but Batman. Two identities that can never be reconciled; "split, right down the middle".
Love the emperor penguins as the pallbearers! Very original, beautiful , emotional and just brilliantly creative... Not all movies need a huge climatic battle to end it. Sometimes something so simple is far more effective.
When I first heard that Danny DeVito was playing the Penguin I thought it was perfect casting. I really thought he was going to look (more or less) like the Penguin we all knew from the comic book and 60s TV show, which would have been fine with me. Again I thought, PERFECT casting (like Jack as the Joker). When the first pictures of the Penguin were released I was shocked and amazed at how radically different Tim Burton’s version was going to be. So dark, freakish and pitiful! He reminded me of Dr. Caligari or some Lon Chaney creation from the silent era. So cool! And when I saw the film DeVito really pulled it off, adding a depth to the character that we had never seen before. Amazing performance....both funny and sad.
The way they had the Penguin pick "the cute one" and it harkened back to babies seemed like more than just a funny moment to me. Having that human error of his- in the moment where he could have conceivably put an end to Batman -made his death, for me at least, one of a man and not just a villain.
The irony that this film was considered “too dark” and now the norm is to make superhero movies dark lol Batman Returns is such an under appreciated film.
@@cooperwolfe5478 you can say that again. I remember seeing it at the theater as a kid and was in awe. The look, the music, the actors... simply amazing.
@@andyc9979 Thanks. I just find it sad that Warner Bros decides to not bring Tim Burton back for a third film. Even if you’re not a fan of his, you have to admit his Batman films are fantastic.
@@cooperwolfe5478 for sure. Man the third one was fun but compared to the first two it wasn't close. Tim burton kicks ass. The batmans he made were everything I pictured what batman should be. I also loved Edward scissorhands and dark shadows. Idk if you're a fan of those at all too.
As I have watched this scene multiple times, I can't help but get goosebumps when batman unmasked, while frantically searches for selina, senses penguin and turns around glaring with such intensity and focus, prepared to fight. Michael Keaton truly embraces the determination of Batman
@@KlidesCorneroftheInternet “Fiction” no shit sherlock. Who would’ve realized that? A bunch of penguins carrying an overweight guy into water? Not fiction! Fuckin idiot
I used to think as a kid that Penguin was literally a blue-blooded villain, but then I came to realize that his blood turned that color due to the ungodly amounts of toxic water he swallowed when he fell down to the pool.
I was lucky enough to watch all of the old Batman movies in the theaters as a kid. After all this time, this is still one of my favorite scenes. The Penguin rising out of the water, toxic waste pouring out of him, the slow walk to the umbrellas, and Batman turning around to face him as the music swells will be forever burned into my memory. Danny DeVito acted his heart out throughout the entire movie; he took what could've been a silly concept and turned it into something far more monstrous, grotesque, and ultimately tragic. Danny Elfman's score made it that much more emotional. It's a man on the verge of death, fueled by rage, making one last - and failed - stand. They don't make movies like this anymore.
You see a villain, I see a piteous being who lived a life of fear and misery brought on by his parents cruel and self-centered choices. The penguins dragging him sadly into the filthy waters is a truly emblematic moment of batman cinema, and one of the saddest, I think.
One of the first things we see him do is eat a cat, like I stated he was born evil like a nephilim but in the end he died just the same as a monster, I can't help but pity him but Its the same pity I feel for a rabid beast not a human for me, the actions make a person, in real life I do not believe any human is born evil, but in the comics I believe that this version of penguin was born evil and in the end he died the same, hell he didn't even bleed red
What killed the Penguin? There are a few diffuse references throughout the movie, that the Penguin has to live in a cooled environment, a bit like Mr. Freeze. With lines like; - Crank up the AC! - …Stop global warming, start global cooling, make the world a giant ice box! According to the script dated 1991, he dies due to heatstroke, since Catwoman destroyed his air conditioner when she electrocuted Max. In that draft of the script, he rises from the water and desperately tries to get the air conditioner to work, before he attempts to kill Batman, and finally succumbs to the heat. This is something that carried over to a few of the video game adaptations of Batman Returns, where the final battle against Penguin could only be won once the huge air conditioner was destroyed. It’s not very clear in the final movie. But it doesn’t matter. The Penguin’s death scene is just as disturbing as it is heartbreaking. Just unforgettable.
@@insertusername130 why is it that the sympathetic villains have to suffer? His mom and dad threw him in the river like garbage and that motivated him to destroy cities and kidnap children. We really can't blame him for that but everything he did was against the law so if he was smarter he should not have went the evil route
Fun Fact: After The Death of Jovi in the Angry German Kid vs Jovi Part 2 in October 2009, We have reciveved reports a hole in a sky caused by Falcon punch explosion. Experts say that this happened while a teeneaged male, communly known as the "Angry German Kid," was fighting some evil entity, known as "Jovi" leading the Nazis. while they were fighting, Captain Falcon was called to the stage to end the fight. The Falcon Punch not only owned Jovi. But it also blew up part of the galaxy, which created a hole in the sky in which there is TV static. Angry German Kid, Captain Falcon and Mr. Game & Watch have all been given credit for their risky deed.
I don’t even know how he manages to die in this scene. The penguins carrying his body looked stupid, and these people crying over him more than Mufasa leads to the overall retardation. Anyone got a kazoo to play amazing grace?
"And then two rows of freakishly large penguins will emerge and ceremoniously bear his corpse into the icy water." "Wut?" "Just trust me -- it'll work."
this version of the penguin is much more of a tragic and sad and relatable character than most of the other penguins are arguably the sadest death in this batman trilogy
I know that The Penguin dying is the important part of this scene, but what I also love about this scene is that when Bruce is looking for Selina he sees Shreck’s corpse and it gets him to look faster because he’s hoping she didn’t suffer the same fate.
This felt like super sad such an excellent acting for both Batman and penguin. Penguin just wanted to be loved but he never got the chance to the only living animal who loves him was a penguin and seeing them carrying his corpse to the water was heartbreaking no matter how cruel he was he had an reason the whole planet didn’t like him the only animal that did like him was the penguins
Yes, because we understand. While we may not know it, we have been to the same place he had. Everybody abandoned him, first his parents, the city, and the circus people. All he had left were the penguins that never left him, no matter what he did. We've all been there. Just in different situations.

That’s exactly why this movie and Dark Knight are my favorites. Batman doesn’t get happy endings. It fits the character perfectly.
@Guyverman01 Yeah, but he was also able to save Jim's family, stop the joker and not break his no kill rule.
My hat's off to Danny Elfman. His music could just as effortlessly be played during the tragic death scene of a hero.
The music when he finds his familys graves was the first time I appreciated movie soundtracks.....9 year old me watching this way to early haha
Yeah, Danny Devito is my hero.
Every great director needs a great composer to bring his work to life through music and vice versa. That's why anything Burton and Elfman do is going to be an absolute banger of a film.

I was young when I saw this movie and I did not understand it, but this scene when the penguin died has always shook me. Then I learned a lot of things about life. Unfortunately, Hollywood no longer makes movies like this.
Not if the Retro Decade Revival Project can change all that for the better.
Usually it's all cupcakes and rainbows for the kids, s*x for the teens, and the beautifully dark movies for adults. You never really see a dark kids movie now a days, and that's what makes them so beautiful.
@@KlidesCorneroftheInternet It's always good to break the mould and do something completely different for a change. People like to be scared for fun, especially children, most are capable of seeing dark movies like the ones by Tim Burton.
@@reneastle8447 agreed, and expose the kids to it a bit (as long as it's not as explicit) rather than "protect their innocence". The kids will grow up anyways. I get that childhoods are precious, but we're basically babying children by showing them the awful "haha fart funny" punchline, instead of giving them a good story and a deep plot, then force them to "grow up" once their adolecense ends.
@@KlidesCorneroftheInternet Children need to be given good stories and deep plots, not boring ones. The only way those boring stories can be good is be improving them. Dark stories don't have to be explicit or gory.
I remember watching this as a kid and feeling sad for the penguins. Not Oswald but the actual penguins. They looked so sad carrying him away lol.
same here

Wow, I'm offended

So sad you can hear him trying to breathe and slowly dying. This scene was a cinema masterpiece🦇🐧🙏🏽
1:03 - "The heat's getting to me. I’ll murder you momentarily. (hawks) But first, I need a cool drink... of ice water." - The Penguin

You're right...I got that up right. Thanks, pal
Alden R. Davis use to always quote that
Final words😢😢😢
I think of this whenever I drink water with ice in it.
Penguin 1: "We followed him as far as we could..."
Penguin 2: "You must not blame yourself brother. None of us knew how far he had fallen into madness."
Penguin 3: "Where do we go now? The master is dead...."
Penguin 1: "He would have wanted us to return to the sea....for that is where we truly belong."

everyone fuck yourselves
I guess Batman feel the same, thats why he don't want to kill anyone, he realize that all the villans are just miserables beings filled with rage and bad blood for a world that they don't feel part of it.
I showed this film to my girlfriend, who is not a huge fan of Batman, and throughout the film she was both impressed by Devito's acting but also disgusted with the character. She had many mixed emotions towards The Penguin. "All I want....is a chance...a chance to find my mom and dad....a chance to find out who they are. And thusly who I am. And then...with my parents...try to understand....why? Why they did what I guess they felt they had to do to a child who was born...a little different. A child...who spent his first Christmas...and many since...in a sewer." She teared up at that moment because of Danny Devito's acting. She thought that was so genuine and sad and then after seeing him at his parents grave where he puts the two roses down, she cried for him. But as the film continued, she started feeling less and less sorry for him. When he was talking about planning to kill children, she out loud said, "He's lost all sympathy from me! I don't feel sorry for him anymore!" I had to pause it and explain to her the scene where he's in the Hall of Records supposedly trying to find out about his parents that he was really finding out the names of all the first borns and that's what that list was that Catwoman was peaking at earlier and that he already knew who his parents were and that he just looking for a way to go in the Hall of Records. She got so mad and said that he was pure evil and that she had no sympathy for him at all. I nodded and said "Ok. Let's let you finish the movie." She said alright. We continued watching it and when we got to this scene, I watched her reaction the whole time. The moment Penguin rises out of the water, she looked shocked and as the scene progressed I saw tears forming in her eyes. Then she started crying when the penguins were taking him towards the water. Goes to show how much the right musical score can change a lot of how you feel about a character.
David Stone it’s a fantastic movie, rather watch one of these anyways, I don’t care how much cgi and pixels technology has advanced, nothing beats the genuine emotional scripts and compensating for all the technology they used to do to form an actual good movie
@@Martin-zr2tb Yes! Thank you! Cgi is fine but goddamn they can't seem to find a balance anymore. Cgi is used WAY too much now.
David Stone yep, yep! I don’t even go to the movies anymore, it’s hard enough watching 80% of action/otherwise movies nowadays with a laser or roundhousekick or something xplosion going off ever five seconds and the screen changing views every 2 seconds
And by the time I leave the theatre after a marvel movie I’m basically cross-eyed for the rest of the day 😂
Probably gonna go watch a few of these old Batman’s or 80’s/90’s movies after reading your comment though! Much more hope in peoples opinion
@@Martin-zr2tb Yeah. I like the MCU fine. But nothing compares to older films. I'm having a old school movie marathon with a couple friends. We're watching Candyman, The Silence Of The Lambs, Misery, The Shining and Psycho.

danny elfman really made me cry for the penguin with this beautiful music. it’s so powerful. and then tim burton adds to more of my tears with the penguin pallbearers. god damn it i love it
FUN FACT: It was rumored that Max Shreck was actually supposed to be Harvey Dent. When Batman revealed his corpse, he was only supposed to be unconscious with half of his face burnt and, to set the story line for two-face in a future movie.
that would have been perfect. he has the persona for it. and the face !
They also were gonna have them as brothers too in the first shooting script. In the first scene Max was a toddler around 2 or 3 and he's there staring at Oswald in the cage and the mom was like "Maxie, quit staring at your brother!" Then he eats the cat and they dump him. Then they die and Max somehow doesn't end up with their money and not knowing Ossie was his bro until later in the movie.
Then he has a scene near the climax when he's in the cage where he mentions he was glad they dumped him, really screwed up it was. Wish they kept it in honestly, it woulda made Max a total ass. I see Walken revlening in that.
@Chris Shaouni i think more of him surviving And becoming blackmask in order to Get Revenge against Batman And catwoman
@Papa Juan Pablo him as two-face...i'd kinda wanna see that lol
@Papa Juan Pablo I'd pay to see that
What I like about this movie is that it’s true, deepest story revolves around the villain, not the hero. The penguin as a character was deep and had layers - his cruel abandonment, his attempt to be accepted by humanity, his revenge, his anger. The film made us sympathize with the villain which is not too common. Though he was a villain nonetheless, and did terrible things that can’t be justified, the movie explores the motives behind his crimes. One of my personal favorite Batman movies tbh.
Well, the problem was that he continued to be the evil piece of crap even after he got accepted by society. Therefore it's hard to feel sorry for him.
@@azazello1784 2:01 exactly
this Scene has more Emotion than the entire Justice League Movie
I love this scene. It's scary in silence - the "monstrous" villain, somehow still alive, rises from the deep and slowly advances on our hero, unawares.
But Danny Elfman gives him a moving, almost dignified motif as he struggles forward. You almost want him to get to the right umbrella. What a strange, odd, and thoroughly unique choice to make.
They don't make them like this anymore.
Everything is garbage cgi for the most part anymore
I like that in the end he gets his humanizing moment. By grabbing the mobile umbrella you’re immediately reminded “oh yea he was just a baby tossed into the sewer to die” and puts a nice bow on the film’s underlying theme of how we create and shun the freaks in our world
Even after all he did. Even after what he's trying to do in this clip. He's EVIL at this point, and yet in the end you feel SYMPATHY for him?? It's very well done.
As far back as I can remember this was the first time I genuinely felt sorrow for a villains passing. Normally it’s in grand fashion like Disney or even the original Batman, but this was a solemn, somber moment when a tragic character goes to his death. Burton knows how to make you see the human inside the monster, and the monster inside the human (Max Shreck).
If the Penguin had been given a chance at a decent upbringing by loving parents, he'd most likely have turned out almost completely normal. His insanity stems from not forming any emotional connections as a child. Like Shreck told Bruce, "if his parents hadn't 86ed him, you two might have been bunkies at prep school". Very sad scene about a very emotionally damaged man who just wanted to find his place in life.
I think you're forgetting that he let revenge consume him. He didn't just want to find his place, he lucked into the opportunity of a lifetime being mayor after all, no he wanted to see others turned into what he was. A sad villain, but a villain none the less.
Andrew H the funniest thing about that being buddies thing is that in the telltale series they actually are buddies from they're childhood but of course penguin changes and becomes a villain also didn't his parents here about abortion before abandoning him ? 😂 sorry that just made me laugh while typing
Maybe he woukd just turn like his cómic book counterpart which was bullied in Elementary And middle school due to his penguin like appearence
@@twostep919 Sure, I'm not condoning his actions, but imagine not having a single human being your entire life from birth who ever loved you in any way, and what kind of mental damage that could do. He didn't have the capability of rational thought or emotion, and despite his intelligence and articulation, he was really very childish at heart; his actions at their very core are simply lashing out like a tantruming kid. And yes, that is the opportunity of a lifetime, but it couldn't make up for an entire life of emotional deprivation.
@@andrewh5136 - I think you've explained the first part of your original post, but I still don't think he was just "trying to find his place in life". Either way, interesting take on a great villain!
1:33 I always hated this part as a kid. Very emotional. Especially seeing his babies pushing him into the water like pallbearers.
Same!! This bothered me as a child
The atmospehre of that movie is still touching! So sad and creepy! The music, the setting, the costumes... Great work from Burton! And perfect actors with Keaton, Pfeiffer, Walken - and a legendary Devito! Can't remember any disgusting "monster" you wanna hug so much. Poor, lonely Mr. Cobblepott!
Masterpiece!

@@nunyvanstta135 He completely lost it at that point. His humanity was gone. I think the penguins knew that. They knew the end was near and they loved him so much and knew they were all he had. They didn't mind giving their lives for him.
DeVito did a great job with this. Great combination of horror, comedy, and tragedy.
This film is a gothic masterpiece. DeVito's performance is one of the great performances. Truly strange, demented and utterly heartbreaking. I really wish that one more could have happened with Burton and Keaton again...

😞Yeah, me too.

Agreed.
I can't feel sorry for him, after pondering everything he did. People who were rejected like him, deformed like him, didn't do even half of what he did.
@TrollMalefico1984 But understanding a person and explaining, their actions have never been a justification.
Michael Keaton is almost on par with Christopher Reeve in terms of the character's demeanor shifting. Bruce is so desperate to find Selina, the anguish and vulnerability are palpable. But then he senses Penguin, turns around, and there's nothing in his expression but Batman. Two identities that can never be reconciled; "split, right down the middle".
Glad to have found this comment, as it's a moment that goes totally unnoticed by even hardcore fans. Bravo.
This has to be one of the saddest Batman villains death.
At 1:52 the penguins look so cute, their eyes and their beaks get me everytime.
Love the emperor penguins as the pallbearers! Very original, beautiful , emotional and just brilliantly creative... Not all movies need a huge climatic battle to end it. Sometimes something so simple is far more effective.
When I first heard that Danny DeVito was playing the Penguin I thought it was perfect casting. I really thought he was going to look (more or less) like the Penguin we all knew from the comic book and 60s TV show, which would have been fine with me. Again I thought, PERFECT casting (like Jack as the Joker).
When the first pictures of the Penguin were released I was shocked and amazed at how radically different Tim Burton’s version was going to be. So dark, freakish and pitiful! He reminded me of Dr. Caligari or some Lon Chaney creation from the silent era. So cool! And when I saw the film DeVito really pulled it off, adding a depth to the character that we had never seen before. Amazing performance....both funny and sad.
When I saw this as a kid……I have to say it gave me a tear. Seeing penguin die and to add to that…..penguins helping him back where they found him. 😢
The way they had the Penguin pick "the cute one" and it harkened back to babies seemed like more than just a funny moment to me. Having that human error of his- in the moment where he could have conceivably put an end to Batman -made his death, for me at least, one of a man and not just a villain.
The irony that this film was considered “too dark” and now the norm is to make superhero movies dark lol Batman Returns is such an under appreciated film.
I agree with you. In my opinion, Batman Returns is the greatest Batman movie of all time.
@@cooperwolfe5478 you can say that again. I remember seeing it at the theater as a kid and was in awe. The look, the music, the actors... simply amazing.
@@andyc9979 Thanks. I just find it sad that Warner Bros decides to not bring Tim Burton back for a third film. Even if you’re not a fan of his, you have to admit his Batman films are fantastic.
@@cooperwolfe5478 for sure. Man the third one was fun but compared to the first two it wasn't close. Tim burton kicks ass. The batmans he made were everything I pictured what batman should be. I also loved Edward scissorhands and dark shadows. Idk if you're a fan of those at all too.
@@andyc9979 Yeah definitely. I love Tim Burton’s films. He’s my favorite director of all time and in my opinion, he’s only made one bad movie.
As I have watched this scene multiple times, I can't help but get goosebumps when batman unmasked, while frantically searches for selina, senses penguin and turns around glaring with such intensity and focus, prepared to fight. Michael Keaton truly embraces the determination of Batman
Rest In Peace: Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, an innocent man lost to his own madness. He will be missed. 😢😔
Bruh it's fiction. But if you're saying this out of the context of what the movie is showing, then I'll allow it.
@@KlidesCorneroftheInternet “Fiction” no shit sherlock. Who would’ve realized that? A bunch of penguins carrying an overweight guy into water? Not fiction! Fuckin idiot
@@xxvipermanxx4696 😂😂
I was not innocent. Like, BRUH! I killed baby's! How is that innocent?
He tried to murder babies dude
I felt sad for him.. even as a villan his story can be the story of a lot of people.
I used to think as a kid that Penguin was literally a blue-blooded villain, but then I came to realize that his blood turned that color due to the ungodly amounts of toxic water he swallowed when he fell down to the pool.
Caught this on TV when I was twelve, took me over an hour to realize this was Danny DeVito (pre-internet), this death scene always stayed with me.
I was lucky enough to watch all of the old Batman movies in the theaters as a kid. After all this time, this is still one of my favorite scenes. The Penguin rising out of the water, toxic waste pouring out of him, the slow walk to the umbrellas, and Batman turning around to face him as the music swells will be forever burned into my memory. Danny DeVito acted his heart out throughout the entire movie; he took what could've been a silly concept and turned it into something far more monstrous, grotesque, and ultimately tragic. Danny Elfman's score made it that much more emotional. It's a man on the verge of death, fueled by rage, making one last - and failed - stand. They don't make movies like this anymore.
He becomes something other than a villain in this scene. I think we see ourselves in him.
Wow, the music in this escene is so intense that makes anyone wanna cry!
Forget Tony Stark's death, this was the saddest death scene in a comic book movie.
Totally agree with you dude
Agreed. I actually cried at this. I did not cry at Starks death. Nor did I cry at the end of Infinity War.
I strongly agree i mean as bad as he was it still hit home especially when the pallbearing penguins laid him to rest in the sewer water
Dude how?! He looks like an oompah loopah that has gangrene
Yeah I didn’t even cry at Iron Man’s death
Man, this was a dark ass movie, even for Batman!
This was the most saddest part of the movie.
Shreck is love

You see a villain, I see a piteous being who lived a life of fear and misery brought on by his parents cruel and self-centered choices. The penguins dragging him sadly into the filthy waters is a truly emblematic moment of batman cinema, and one of the saddest, I think.
Academy award winning acting by danny devito
Don't forget he tried to murder and eviscerate the babies' genitalia.
One of the first things we see him do is eat a cat, like I stated he was born evil like a nephilim but in the end he died just the same as a monster, I can't help but pity him but Its the same pity I feel for a rabid beast not a human for me, the actions make a person, in real life I do not believe any human is born evil, but in the comics I believe that this version of penguin was born evil and in the end he died the same, hell he didn't even bleed red

What killed the Penguin?
There are a few diffuse references throughout the movie, that the Penguin has to live in a cooled environment, a bit like Mr. Freeze.
With lines like;
- Crank up the AC!
- …Stop global warming, start global cooling, make the world a giant ice box!
According to the script dated 1991, he dies due to heatstroke, since Catwoman destroyed his air conditioner when she electrocuted Max.
In that draft of the script, he rises from the water and desperately tries to get the air conditioner to work, before he attempts to kill Batman, and finally succumbs to the heat.
This is something that carried over to a few of the video game adaptations of Batman Returns, where the final battle against Penguin could only be won once the huge air conditioner was destroyed.
It’s not very clear in the final movie. But it doesn’t matter.
The Penguin’s death scene is just as disturbing as it is heartbreaking. Just unforgettable.
I actually feel kinda bad for the Penguin.
he's in a better place
@@aidanbarnes4290 Well, he did murder a bunch of people, try to kidnap and kill babies, and tried to blow up Gotham... Maybe not...

Fun Fact: After The Death of Jovi in the Angry German Kid vs Jovi Part 2 in October 2009, We have reciveved reports a hole in a sky caused by Falcon punch explosion. Experts say that this happened while a teeneaged male, communly known as the "Angry German Kid," was fighting some evil entity, known as "Jovi" leading the Nazis. while they were fighting, Captain Falcon was called to the stage to end the fight. The Falcon Punch not only owned Jovi. But it also blew up part of the galaxy, which created a hole in the sky in which there is TV static. Angry German Kid, Captain Falcon and Mr. Game & Watch have all been given credit for their risky deed.

Fun fact: those aren't trained penguins, they're little people in actual penguin suits
This movie is underrated.
this version of the penguin is much more of a tragic and sad and relatable character than most of the other penguins are arguably the sadest death in this batman trilogy
The Penguin is a critique to our society. I mean, people treated Oswald like a monster his entire life and then are shocked when he behaves like one.
I know that The Penguin dying is the important part of this scene, but what I also love about this scene is that when Bruce is looking for Selina he sees Shreck’s corpse and it gets him to look faster because he’s hoping she didn’t suffer the same fate.
The music behind this scene makes me wanna cry.
I know why there was never another live-action Penguin after this, cause no one can top Danny DeVito!
Yeah about that
I hope penguin finds peace in the afterlife
At 2:18 you can see a board they placed under Devito so he would slide into the water.
Probably a prop or something of DeVito
I know it's weird to say but despite his madness, and his sinister plan, I always felt sorry for him.
So my penguins arent the only ones who care about me
The penguins scene is...you can feel it, it hurts
This is such a powerful and dramatic scene, BRAVO to the composer...
This felt like super sad such an excellent acting for both Batman and penguin. Penguin just wanted to be loved but he never got the chance to the only living animal who loves him was a penguin and seeing them carrying his corpse to the water was heartbreaking no matter how cruel he was he had an reason the whole planet didn’t like him the only animal that did like him was the penguins
Mmm...... we are crying for a villain?
Yes, because we understand. While we may not know it, we have been to the same place he had. Everybody abandoned him, first his parents, the city, and the circus people. All he had left were the penguins that never left him, no matter what he did. We've all been there. Just in different situations.
Dave L' Ammazzavampiri its supost to make u sad
No one condones what people like him do. But his actions were a reflection of his own sorrows.
His parents and society ruined him, he wasn’t evil to begin with. So yes I feel sorry for him
As kids we love heroes
As adults we understand villain
