Batman Returns (1952)

The Penguin, a misshapen monster of a man, teams up with corrupt industrialist Max Shreck to win the hearts of Gotham and run for city mayor—a cover for an insidious plot of revenge against the well-off elites like his parents, who tossed their deformed son into the sewers as a newborn. Meanwhile, Shreck's mousy secretary Selina Kyle is reborn as the sultry and mysterious Catwoman after surviving Shreck's attempt to silence her discovery of his energy-hoarding plans, and is now out for blood. At the center of it all is Batman himself, who not only has to deal with the Penguin's smear campaign against him, but also finds a kindred spirit within Selina.
