20 Things You Didn't Know About Batman Returns
8. A Monkey Attacked Danny DeVito's Crown Jewels On Set
Monkeys love nuts, right? Well, apparently they love Danny DeVito’s nuts in particular.
Speaking on The Graham Norton Show back in 2007, the actor revealed that he was accosted by a simian co-star during the filming of Returns. In the first take of the scene where a monkey hands Cobblepot a note from Batman, the animal was so frightened by DeVito’s appearance that it panicked and attacked his family jewels.
Thankfully for him, the suit he was wearing was heavily padded in the crotch region, otherwise the Penguin might have sounded more like a nightingale.
