Batman Returns is so underrated. Michelle Pfeiffer is easily the best Catwoman, Danny DeVito is amazing as the Penguin, and Michael Keaton will always be my favourite Batman.

[@rolanddeschain6089]

Bonkers movie. So so stylish. Ingenious cast. They no longer dare to make such films today. I think Christopher Walken is always somewhat overlooked. He's a great Con-Man in this. Always has the overview. Always everything under control. Catwomen and The Penguin have a tragic side. Both tortured people who become animals. Disowned by the upper class and beaten underground. Walken is this reckless upper class. Endless exploitation of the people, the city. He's the real villain here.

[@Cookieboy70]

Her scene with Batman makes me eternally ship them.

[@xhagast]

The first two Batman movies have NEVER been outdone. THIS is Batman. The Batman of the comics. Or as much as it could be done. Whatever it is that they are doing with the character(s) is NOT Batman.

[@ar471]

@Ambander Batman Returns is rated lower than the entire Nolan trilogy on both rotten tomatoes and IMDb and is rated lower than the ‘89 Batman on IMDb alone. I don’t think it’s considered the best Batman movie by anywhere near the majority of people.

[@ar471]

@Ambander That’s an interesting theory, but it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. First, if people don’t vote for old movies, then why is it that 17 of the top 20 rated movies on IMDb were all made prior to the date you claimed? Second, IMDb doesn’t just change their rating based on any old vote. You have to be a registered user and have a certain number of previous ratings before they even start to count you. Fanboys may try to change the numbers, but your example (Avengers) isn’t even in the top 200. I guess they didn’t try too hard.

Edit: Something more like the animated series or if you want a happy middle ground between the two something like the Arkhamverse version

[@djstuntfox]

This is Michelle Pfeiffer's BEST work. It's legendary! Fun fact: she did put a live bird in her mouth and she really did whack the heads off on her FIRST take. The whole crew cheered when she did it. That's skill. Oh. And she did nick Tim Burton on the face and she was terrified, but he was ok and a good sport.

[@bobblebardsley]

I think it was actually Anthony DeLongis, the 'whip master' who trained her, whose face she nicked on her first day of training. Unless I saw a different interview! Very cool with the mannequins though, I just found and watched the behind-the-scenes video of her filming that scene, those are some seriously impressive whip skills.

[@blytheguy7510]

Brandon, I highly recommend you check out the forgotten Batman movie from this era, that's actually one of the best Batman movies. It's the animated series movie: Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

So they are still trying to figure out what order do the episodes go in. (The one thing is for certain: The movie Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, takes place right after the episode, Cape and Cowl Conspiracy since it’s the introduction of the Bat-Light, which shows up in that movie.)

Batman Returns is my all time favourite Batman movie - it’s so brilliant. Its certainly the most violent and disturbing Batman film ever. I like how they focused on the psychotic nature of their characters. I love the writing in this movie. The irony of Bruce and Selena being the only people at the masquerade ball not wearing masks is just excellent. Its like they really are wearing their masks and that Batman and Catwoman are who they really are. Check out Under The Red Hood too for a superb animated Batman story.

[@Eggman2285]

If you ever need a new series to react to, I would recommend Batman: The Animated Series if you haven't seen all of it recently. It's partially inspired by the two Burton Batman movies as well as the Batman stories of the 70s and 80s and is easily the best version of Batman outside of the comics.

[@ethanlivemere1162]

Depends on what you count as a kill. Do you count the devil guy he set on fire? Because we don't know if he dies. Do you count the Joker? Because clearly Batman was only trying to stop him from escaping. If Joker had let go of the ladder and/or the gargoyle was affixed more sturdily he wouldn't have died.

Also Batman TAS was based off this version of gotham.

[@newspooiechannel]

The origin of the Penguin and Catwoman were completely different from their comic counterparts. After the success of the first Batman film, Warner Bros continuously tried to get Tim Burton to agree to come back and do a sequel to the film. He wasn't really digging the idea of making sequels and wanted to explore other ideas. So to entice him back, they offered him creative control over the story and characters. So he completely redid the origins for both characters and brought in the brand new character of Max Schreck (named after the actor from Nosferatu). Burton had so much fun making the second movie that he was ready to jump right into development of the third. But when the movie came out, while it was a hit, it did not bring in anywhere near what the original made and parents groups complained about the movie being "aimed at kids" while unusually dark and the oversexualization of the characters. So Warners told Burton they were going to go in another direction for the next film. And, thus, the Joel Schumacher era was born. As a consolation, Tim Burton was one of the main producers on Batman Forever, although he opted out for Batman & Robin. Michael Keaton, on the other side, felt that the villains were overpowering his role in the film. He felt he played second fiddle to Jack Nicholson's Joker in the first movie and this movie had almost no development of the Bruce Wayne or Batman personas, in favor of both Penguin and Catwoman. So when he was asked to come back for the third movie, after reading the script and feeling it was awful, specifically asked for a much larger salary to reprise the role, figuring Warner Bros would not be willing to pay him and he could explore other films. Warners ended up recasting him with Val Kilmer for the next movie and subsequently went on to pay Arnold Schwarzenegger $20 million for 6 weeks of shooting in Batman & Robin.

[@michaelwolfe9496]

Didn't Val Kilmer quit the role for the exact same reasons?

[@newspooiechannel]

Kind of depends on who you ask and when. Joel's story was that Val had constant ego trips on set and clashed with several people behind the scenes. Also, when Val decided he wanted to do 'The Saint' instead of Batman & Robin, it would have pushed the film back another year or so, and Warners wasn't having that. Val's story was that he became bored with the character after some kids visited the set and realized that they were only interested in props and the Batmobile, not him playing Batman. He also said he was unaware that WB wanted to fast-track the movie into production a month after Batman Forever and had already committed to 'The Saint.' Whereas Returns and Forever came out 3 years apart, Batman & Robin were only 2 years apart.

[@iyaramonk]

Let me tell you, as a little kid when this came out, the sexualization of catwoman was very welcome :) I've had a crush on Michelle ever since.

My favorite Batman movie. It shows perfectly what Gotham and Batman has always been about; troubled (and psycho) people dealing with their darkness in a dark corrupted city. Batman blends much more with the villains here, especially the scene in the end between him and Catwoman (and somehow it works perfectly). Tim Burton's weirdness also helps a lot showing this aspect of Batman and the world, and in this movie the weirdness is taken to 11. So much so, the movie was criticized in 1992 for being marketed to children.

My favorite Batman movie. Dark, campy, Christmas… what’s not to love.

There are many shades of Frank Reynolds in this performance, it’s scary

I used to have this on VHS and would watch it all the time. It was the earliest Batman I can remember watching so its a special one for me.
