The whole movie has a weird style, dark tones, full of Gothic sentiment, and a feeling of cold despair. This time Batman has a lot of opponents, the bloated but cruel Penguin who lives in the sewers, the catwoman who feels a little nervous in her leather jacket, and a white-haired entrepreneur. There is also a circus criminal organization that acts as an accomplice to the Penguins. They are of all shapes and colors but each has its own characteristics.
The penguin man who was born deformed and abandoned to the sewers is surly, eager to be respected but pretentious, vainly trying to rule Gotham. The director designed him as a clown, fat and short, with sharp teeth, deformed fingers and nose, like a circus umbrella, and a big yellow duck as a means of transportation. But he has black technology, a miniature helicopter disguised with an umbrella, and a penguin commander. Catwoman was pushed downstairs, a group of cats licked, and somehow gained super powers to compete with Spider-Man. Wearing a leather jacket stitched and mended by himself, wearing a claw on his hand, and wearing high heels, he was crazy, thinking that he had nine lives, and he really acted as a mad woman. In the end, he killed the boss and ended up playing it all. Max, a big entrepreneur, works with Penguin, but he doesn't have a sense of presence.
There is no big scene, nothing more than Batman's performance of the black technology Batmobile. The last army of penguins is still a bit creative, with bombs tied to it, just like the Kamikaze squad.
Was DC's style like this from the beginning? No wonder we can't do Marvel. The styles are very weird and non-mainstream. Bolton's grotesque and gloomy Gothic, Nolan's desperate and gloomy sacrifice, and Zach's gloomy sadness and depression are not the dishes of mainstream audiences.
