7 Worst Things The Penguin Has Ever Done

7. Everything From Batman Returns

Batman Returns ended up being Tim Burton's last comic book film, and though it does have its critics, it's just as gothic and as entertaining as 1989.

One of the undoubted highlights of it was Danny DeVito's Penguin, a far more monstrous depiction of the bird-themed Bat-rogue than the comics had portrayed up until that point. To match the aesthetic, DeVito's Penguin also got up to a whole manner of horrid things throughout the film, including biting a campaign staffer's nose off, weaponising actual penguins after abducting Gotham's children and, well, just being plain creepy to Catwoman too.

The film boasts a list of offences that easily dwarfs most of what the character got up to in the comics, and considering he hasn't returned to live-action since - save for TV's Gotham - it's fair to say that DeVito's turn as the villain was equally iconic.
