It's all about The Penguin, baby

In spite of one half of the meaning of the title of this, it doesn't exclusively deal with the process of applying make-up on Danny DeVito, for the character of The Penguin. This is a a special feature found on the 2-Disc Special Edition release of Batman Returns, which came in 2005, and revolves around said character in said film. It starts with Winston detailing the creation, the design of the characters look for the film, goes through the application of the make-up, and has bits here and there from the various interviewees, mainly crew, but also Burton and DeVito. I actually found parts of this to be somewhat slow, compared to the other extras on the DVD. DeVito is good to listen to, though, and both Burton and Winston have stuff to say(if not much, but hey, this is pretty short). This is 8 minutes in length, and for the most part, it's well-paced. It's well-edited and does have a fair amount of information. This features interviews, clips of the film and behind the scenes footage. It ends with DeVito revealing what he feels ought to be done with the character(outside of film). I recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about The Penguin of the film, and the design of him. 7/10
