The Army Of Penguins
Not only is this the greatest moment from Batman Returns, but it’s also one of the best in cinema history. When Oswald’s jig is up, he elects to drown Gotham’s first-born children and destroy the city as revenge. In order to do so, though, he forms an army of penguins with rocket packs strapped to them. The cute, feathered creatures waddle along like good little soldiers, ready to do their master’s bidding and send Gotham straight to hell.
In the sewers, it’s up to Batman, in his trusty Batboat, to stop the missiles from blowing up Gotham. Being the smarty-pants he is, the Dark Knight redirects the penguins to fire on Oswald’s hideout and the rest, as they say, is history.
How can you not be excited by an army of penguins with rocket packs? This scene alone was worth the admission price and every single DVD and Blu-ray release since then. This movie might’ve been about Batman, Catwoman, and the Penguin, but it was the little penguin minions that stole the damn show here.
