The executives required many changes to be made to the series for reasons based on both decisions of what was appropriate for a kids show and what was likely to get the biggest profit. The very successful Tim Burton series of Batman films were one of the main impetuses for the creation of this series, and executive's hoped to capitalize on their success. The design for the Penguin was based on the design of the character as it appeared in the then-current and highly successful Batman Returns, which cast Danny DeVito as a physically deformed and emotionally scarred man with fingers fused into a flipper-like arrangement, as opposed to the comic counterpart, who (although only about 5' tall and sporting a prominent aquiline nose) was a still just a regular man.note Catwoman was likewise turned into a blonde woman to match Michelle Pfeiffer's character, as opposed to her darker-haired appearance in the comics. Both characters were returned to their original comic appearance after the series was revamped into Batman - Cavaliere della notte (1997). It's also likely why in dialogue in Batman: Dreams in Darkness (1992) and in a file in Batman: Joker's Wild (1992), the Joker is identified as "Jack Napier" (the Joker's name in Batman (1989)), though as with the changes with Penguin and Catwoman, this was retconned into an alias.
