Personal Rating: B+
Villain Spotlight:
“Vengeance… wheh… wheh…”
The magic of the Penguin is that he is (or wants to be) a “respectable”
member of society, as well as a crook.
In this case, he establishes a reputable protection agency – and attracts
the attentions of a high society lady.
Social Commentary:
Penguin: “It’s a penetrating documentary in our time. It’s a mirror of our clichéd minds, of our
sadly weakened moral fiber.”
Bruce: “Precision, Dick, precision. The key to success in life, as well as in
sports.”
The Zen of Camp:
Batman frightens a prisoner with his ridiculous, flapping
shadow.
Batman pauses to drink a glass of milk.
Notes:
Alfred has such a soothing
personality – so formal, so dutiful, so British. And it’s nice to see him have an action scene
against the Penguin, albeit a brief one.
