I've been pretty vocal about my disdain for Batman Returns and I have to say that one of the worst decisions that movie made was giving the Penguin a clown army. I mean, I get the whole "freak show" vibe they were going for but given that we had the Joker in the previous film, it just felt weird to have clown antagonists again. I remember seeing that in some of the promotional materials before the movie came out and thinking that the Joker was going to return.
Of course, the clowns weren't half as bad as those stupid "penguin commandos." I know a lot of people look back fondly on that film but the comic book community back then mocked that movie pretty thoroughly. I remember Wizard constantly cracking jokes about it and even DC itself poked fun at the movie in its Death of Superman issue of "Newstime" (a fake magazine it released based on Newsweek and Time). I don't know how I remember this but it had a review of a "Courageous Man" movie that was a thinly veiled reference to BR and it basically said that it sucked.
