Batman Returns movie review

Tim Burton's Batman and Batman Returns were amazing.

Returns is my favorite movie. I do totally get what you mean about the nostalgia but it is still my favorite. Danny Elfman made the most incredible music for these movies. 

I LOVE Batman Returns, Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman is my absolute favorite! ;D

My opinion on the live-action Batman movies: 1) "Batman: The Movie" - 7/10 Campy as hell but that's its charm. The "Bat-Shark Repellant" and "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb" scenes are incredibly iconic. 2) "Batman '89" - 8/10 A cool and interesting take on Batman totally carried by the Joker. The Tim Burton-y elements are there but they don't overshadow the source material. 3) "Batman Returns" - 7/10 Tim Burton draining his craziest ideas and mixing them all together with a large helping of Batman. Good, but mind-melting in its goodness. 4) "Batman Forever" - 6/10 A mixture between the first and the third movies on this list so far. The wacky-ass villains and the neon lighting are hilariously bad, but there's still a hint of something there. 5) "Batman and Robin" - 1/10 If there was something there in Batman Forever, that something was cold-heartedly ripped out. It's shit. Maybe enjoyably bad shit, but shit nevertheless. 6) "Batman Begins" - 10/10 My personal favorite of the Nolan trilogy. It's the only one I feel to have its heaviest focus on Batman, the actual star, and every single scene is done the best it could've been. 7) "The Dark Knight" - 10/10 A grim thriller that examines the citizens of the whacked-out Gotham City, with extra emphasis on some of its best characters. The Joker also stands out here. 8) "The Dark Knight Rises" - 8/10 An interesting take on Bane and the idea of Batman's retirement. Many things are done well here, not perfect, but very well. You can't deny the epic feel.

Fun fact: Pee Wee Herman was the Penguin's father in this movie. Not joking.

Despite it's flaws I freaking LOVE this movie and yes I have watched it recently. I do get what you are saying Jeremy but I still say Michelle Pfeiffer is THE best Catwoman.

Fun little fact about Penguin. In some of the batman continuities, aside from Batman Returns, he is actually supposed to be crazy but not really in a complete psychotic Joker kind of way. He was supposed to be slightly demented in a Napoleon/inferiority complex kind of a way. He's also got his obsession with birds and umbrellas remember so there are some instances where he is supposed to be crazy to a degree.

I disagree with you on cat woman. You make it seem that cat woman became cat woman on some supernatural level.  But in my interpretation when cat woman was pushed off the building she hit some tents on the way down possibly slowing her momentum.  She hit the ground pretty hard but you can argue that the tents kept her from dying.  She is knocked unconscious and get revitalized by cats.  It doesn't mean that the cats turned her into cat woman it could just mean that she was woken up by the cats and the fall made her psychotic and just adopted the cat thing because it was the first thing she saw.  I don't know where she learned martial arts and gymnastics but fuck it i'll let it slide for the sake of just moving the movie along.  As for the 9 lives thing, you can't say that she had mystical 9 lives power because she never gets shot in the face, she just gets shot in the body.  and she doesn't get shot 8 times she only got shot like 3 or four.  I mean maybe she just survived that because none of her vital organs were hit. I"m just saying. 

This is actually my favorite batman movie

I know most people won't agree with me..but as a kid this was by far my favourite Batman film, and to me its tied with TDK. The only time Batman had a good female character, Fifer was a fantastic villain (The first female antagonist I ever saw), and after twins it was the second film I saw Danny Devito in. Yeah looking back it had problems, but it had this Batman tone like nothing else, it was dark, Gotham felt massive, gothic, oppressive and like a place where the monsters could really exist. And unlike the first film Keaton wasn't pushed out to make room for Joker and fucking Vicki Vale (shudder) wasn't in it.  I love Christian Bale, I love Nolan, I loved the Ledger joker and I even liked Tom Hardy a lot as Bane. But this film to me was the only one that really captured the goddamn Batman, Keaton was Batman and we'll be lucky if Affleck captures it even half as well, and while we're at it, the fact that we will never see a Billy D Two Face is a tragedy

I think that Batman Returns is a pretty good movie. 

This is my favorite Batman movie.

Tim Burton did read a Batman comic, though. It was a little comic called THE KILLING JOKE.

It's a comic book film. That's what made the Burton films so entertaining. It took itself seriously, but not too seriously. That's the problem with the other films. Forever and Batman and Robin didn't take themselves seriously at all and the Nolan films took themselves too seriously. The 9 lives aspect of Catwoman was genius (as was the inclusion of feminism for her character). The Penguin character was far more interesting as well. There was a much deeper message behind this film, something that most people overlook.

I love how batshit insane this movie is. Rocket penguins, weird freudian sexism philosophy, batman murdering people, Danny DeVito riding around on a yellow ducky, and starring Christopher Walken as ... Christopher Walken, with all the superpowers of a Christopher Walken. It's just madness. My favorite line of ANY Batman movie EVER is Danny DeVito shouting out "You're just jealous because I'm a REAL freak and you have to pretend and wear a mask!!" To which Batman says "you might be right."

I'd still take Burton's Catwoman over Nolan's

I love Batman returns

Yaknow, I love the authentic Batman lore, I've read many of the comics and I'm certainly the biggest Batman fan that I know, and I think this movie is by far the best of the early Batman films. I remember getting this on VHS on Christmas 1992/93, I was around 4 years old and oh boy, this movie scared the SHIT out of me! I could never stop watching it though, I was so drawn to this film and I still am to this day. For all its butchery of the lore, it still captures that dark and gritty feeling, and IMO, that is what Batman is all about.  The atmosphere in this film is probably my favourite atmosphere in any film, this is what makes the film so great... and the music, it gives me chills everytime. Love this film 10/10

Batman Returns is my favorite live action Batman movie. it is a gothic master piece and that is the best version of the Penguin
