Danny DeVito made his awesomely grotesque debut as The Penguin in Tim Burton's Batman Returns. He was so good in that role and I've always enjoyed his crazy take on the character, which grossed a lot of people out at the time.
In a recent interview with Forbes, DeVito shared that he would like to reprise the role in a Batman movie someday if Tim Burton ever decides to return to the franchise. He said:
"I feel like it's not out of the question that The Penguin will return someday, but this is all up to Tim, whether or not Tim wants to do this. I would say that could be in the cards because we ain't dead yet (laughs). We could do a continuation of what we had in the past because that was truly a brilliant movie. They afforded me that opportunity and I feel very grateful and would I like to revisit it? Why not! It was a really great moment in time for me."
"There is a little Oswald in me. And then there's Danny. I'm not a closed book, I'm pretty much an open book."
The thing is, it's not up to Tim. It's up to the powers that be at Warner Bros. They used that power to bring Michael Keaton back for The Flash movie and if they want to bring DeVito's Penguin back for a future movie, they will. Also, I seriously doubt we'll ever seen Burton make another Batman movie.
Would you like to see DeVito back in the role of Penguin one day?
