The question your asking is what if Jesus didn't die on the cross, what would be the result? Assuming Jesus wasn't put to death later there would be no Christian Faith as we know it in the world today. The basis of Christianity is that Jesus died an innocent sacrifice for the sins of mankind...
Batman Returns was bad enough, IMO, for that to be unlikely. Penguin , outside the movie, was never a naïve idiot living in the sewers of Gotham nor Catwoman an insane bimbo.
