MTV News got the chance to ask Danny DeVito what he remembers most about his time with Tim Burton,

"I loved being with [him] on the set. We love hanging out. I love to watch where he's going, what he's trying, all the different things he does. I had a great time with him."

Burton's take on Batman's nemesis, the Penguin, was received with mixed reactions from general audiences; mostly because of the grotesque change in the character. Despite this, Batman fans loved the fresh and sinister portrayal of a usually campy villain. Whether you loved or hated it, the Penguin's costume did have a big advantage for the actor who wore it:

"Talking about Batman Returns, he's got me in this armadillo suit and I'm in a place that's so freezing — the stage was so cold — I was the only one comfortable," he laughed. "Everyone's walking around in scarves and hats ... I'm in pounds of latex or whatever the hell it was."

MPP - I very much liked his portrayal of the Penguin in Returns. DeVito did a great job with the character all around. What did you think?



If you're in the NYC area, don't forget to check out the Tim Burton exhibit at the Museum Of Modern Art. It will run through April 2010.
