145 Batman Returns (1992)
- 'Danny DeVito' (qv) forbidden to describe The Penguin's makeup to anyone,
including his family.
- The bad guy's name is Max Schreck. 'Max Schreck' (qv) played the vampire in
"Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (1922)" (qv).
- The film was been branded `anti-Semitic' in an opinion piece in the New York
Times because of the Jewish references in The Penguin's character:
- He has a big nose
- He likes to eat herrings
- He is 33 years old: the same age as Christ
- He is discovered floating down the underground river in a basket, much
like Moses
- He plans to kill the first born of all the elite citizens of Gotham,
reminiscent of the Passover story
- carries his umbrella into the graveyard the same way Christ carried the
cross.
- 'Sean Young' (qv) very much wanted the role of The Catwoman. During
preproduction she arrived at the studio in a Catwoman costume to confront
the makers of the movie. She used other people scouting the studio grounds,
using walkie- talkies to communicate, to track down the producers. See also
"Batman (1989)" (qv).
