Things I Thought to Myself While Watching This Movie:
“New York has gators. Gotham has penguins.”
“Is it humanly possible to shove all those stuffed animals down the garbage disposal?”
“No Batman I don't blame you for the ridiculousness of your closet full of multiple Batman costumes. I blame Burton.”
“If I were rich; and I was throwing a party; there would be no way, ever, that I would have an orchestral version of MC Hammers "Cant Touch This" playing as the party music.”

The Drinking Game:

Take a drink the Penguin makes it obvious that he is a horny pervert. Take a drink every time the secretary lady makes some snide comment about how shes single.

Thoughts Of The Main Character As It Fades To Credits:
“Ah what a wonderful Christmas. I wonder what happened to that army of penguins?”

Quote:
"Actually, more of a question. You stupid corn dog"

Summarization of Movie in One or Two Sentences:
Pretty much if you have a traumatic experience (i.e having your parents shot in front of you, being thrown into a river as a child, being thrown through a window) you will become a super hero/villain and base your image off of whatever animal comes to your rescue (i.e bats, penguins, cats).

And now...a note from the author:

Hello everyone. I would like to take a brief moment and introduce a man named Dalamar. Since the experiments inception he too has been watching and has been looking for cliches in movies as well (although he uses a slightly different checklist then I do). If you did not notice from todays earlier post he will be from now on co-hosting the blog with me. Critiquing movies and marking off its cliches. I would like to take this time and welcome Mr. Dalamar to the blog and hope that he will provide as good if not better insight on movies then I do currently.
