What went wrong with Penguin?
1)Kidnapper's Mask:
Although the Antagonist wearing a funny face as a mask seems to have been influenced by the Clown in IT(1990) and other Batman movies that has the ‘Joker’, what fails big time in Penguin is that the entire mask is Plastic leaving no space for the Audience to witness the Facial or Eye expressions of the Kidnapper.
Now look at the Clown who kidnaps kids in horror movie IT(1990), or the Joker from Dark Knight(2008).
IT(1990)
Dark Knight(2008)
In these 2 movies, the Antagonists wore makeup that let you see them- the cruelty in those eyes. Imagine if those characters had worn a full blown mask!
Heath Ledger wouldn't have won an Oscar had he worn a Mask, would he?
Unfortunately that’s what happened with Penguin!
