I know, I know. I spend way too much time talking about:
-Tim Burton films
-Batman
-Films in general

But I've just seen Batman Returns, and I just had to share some trivia about it.

-Composer Danny Elfman was one of the off-screen tomato and lettuce throwers during the Penguin's botched speech

-Danny DeVito spent two hours a day in make-up

-In Tom Mankiewicz's script for the first movie which featured the Penguin, he was described as "a tall, proper-looking, thin man".

-According to the book 'Movie Magic' by Robin Cross, Penguin's army consisted of real penguins, actors in glass fiber suits, animatronic puppets controlled by puppeteers, and computer animation. A technique called flocking was used where several penguins would imitate a master penguin, allowing control over large numbers.

-The final Christmas ball scene is quite symbolic: since it is a masque party all the guests are in disguise. The only two exceptions are Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle. This implies that their real personalities are Batman and Catwoman respectively, and that their public appearance without a costume is just a disguise for the society.
