"It was very violent, it was a total attack against kids." This poor kid was forced to read from a script you can basically see him struggling to read the cue cards. If this movie was too violent then why were there toys based off Aliens, Robocop, Rambo, Predator, and Terminator? The real thing was that this movie came out around the time where day time talk shows where rampant and they needed a big controversy so the ratings would go up.

I mean lets face it, kids will always want to stick it to their parents, and claiming you are going to see "The Monster Squad" when infact you decided to see "Summer School" is a way to stick it to them, even though "The Monster Squad" was the lesser of the kid friendly of the 2 movies, despite both being excellent movies and the Monster Squad to this day still being my favorite monster movie.

I also remember collecting those great plastic Batman Returns cups with the Frisbee BatDisc lids. The glassware they later did for Batman Forever was cool, too, but the entire McDonald's Returns campaign was a pop culture milestone for me.

Even nowadays parents may bring kids to R rated movies or buy them M rated video games and then act surprised at the content. I grew up allowed to watch R rated movies, not once was my mum surprised at the content. I'm not advocating parents to disallow their kids to watch R rated films, I'm advocating they understand what R rated means. Not everything is meant for kids, if they make a kid friendly Deadpool would they make kid friendly clockwork orange 🤔. Don't act so surprised at Sausage Party when the film's R rated. A game rated M is the equivalent to the film rated R. Batman Returns is hardly R rated material, but PG13 film's aren't meant for twelve and under either (think the number in there is a dead giveaway).

[@olenronning5868]

Watching this makes me think it was really more a reaction to Burton’s particularly weird form of visual storytelling and themes. His movies themselves becoming “freaks clashing with the constructs of society” (ie expectations for what makes a Hollywood blockbuster family friendly action movie). Compared to the original 1989 version which was dark and brooding and balance of camp and grit focused on what could cause character like Joker and Batman exist in the real world, Batman Returns seemed more infatuated with exploring a more fantastical almost cartoonish yet still very dark reinterpretation of those types characters. I think it was the “weird” factor that alienated audiences.

It was in its early stages and computers on college campuses were all connected via a phone line. Was actually pretty cool how you could tell when someone was on and send them a little pop up. But yeah I was about 21 or 22 during that time and began putting my ear to the political scene... and all of it. ALL of it was entirely political. They used kids as their excuse for changing MANY laws, and many people's perspectives about violence in EVERYTHING. It wasn't just Batman Returns. They attacked every cartoon made, TV shows, movies... it was literally every where and 'doing it for the kids' was the political excuse they used back then. Today it's the mask 'for our safety'... back then it was about 'keeping the kids safe. When one tragic even happened... a new law was considered or put into law. Smoking was big back then to 'save the kids'. We had machines where ANYBODY and I mean any one could walk into a Dennys or Shoneys and buy a pack of cigarettes. Age was not an issue. We had those machines for DECADES. Then in the 90s. We couldn't have them any more. An age limit was put on cigarettes (no i do not smoke). Seatbelt laws had recently been implemented just a few year prior in the late 80s (i think). (For the kids). They even made laws where kids of a certain age couldn't sit up front in a vehicle. We really didn't have well made baby car seats either. All this sort of came about during this era. Not having certain kinds of toys available to kids. G1 Megatron anyone? It's like a teacher in a classroom. If someone stupid gets in trouble for ONE thing, the whole class has to suffer for it, and can't do that either. It was like this for the NATION. I hate I had to get political here, but it really was.... and it completely changed how we raised our kids and allowed the State to get under our roofs... as now parents were even AFRAID to discipline their OWN children. I remember warning my dad about this crap BACK THEN! (Of course I was over 20...) but he did NOT believe me and grumbled, "What happens under MY roof is my business and no one elses!" That was probably 1993-94.... NOW he believes me.

@@DarkAlex1978 I've been using the internet since 1995 in the United States. During the 90's there wasn't anything where Puritans and hair colored idiots banded together (I don't think those people were even using the internet during the 90's). 1990's internet consisted of a lot of video game related sites, The Mr.T vs ____ comedy comic pages (people would create these comics using photos and TV footage of Mr.T fighting NUMEROUS enemies like Megatron from the Transformers, Bill Gates, Predator, Aliens, WWF's Vince Mcmahom, Dragon Ball Z characters, The Backstreet Boys, etc. There was even one where they had Mr.T fighting Australian Parliament. LOL. People from around the world (mostly in the U.S, the UK and Australia) created their own Mr.T comic page. There were about 180 different Mr. T vs _____ comedy comic pages released on the internet and it was one of the most popular things on the internet during the 90's), Yahoo was one of the most popular search engines and free e-mail services, and there were various message boards on various sites. The message boards were mostly filled with NORMAL people. There were trolls, but the trolls were "goofy trolls", the type that would start typing stuff like "I farted in my drink, want to taste it?". Those type of trolls. There weren't any trolls that were a legit threat that would try to DOX someone or try to do a "cancel culture" type thing on them. 1990's internet was a lot of fun. The majority of the 2000's on the internet was also a lot of fun. Myspace was the first major social network, but it was FUN. No crazy Puritans and hair colored idiots, everyone there was just there to have fun and it was very laid back and you could pretty much say whatever you wanted and it was very, VERY easy to talk to people you didn't know (Myspace even encouraged this). The thing that ruined that site was that too many spammers started invading later on, which caused a lot of people to migrate to Facebook around the year 2008. However, Facebook was actually fun during 2008 and 2009 (not as fun as Myspace, but during 2008 and 2009 Facebook was filled with mostly normal people and it was very easy to talk to people one didn't know). Again, the "worst" type of trolls around were the silly ones (which are harmless). Meanwhile, I discovered KZbin around 2007 and it was a lot of fun (you could upload almost anything as long as it wasn't X-rated and it was very fun and laid back). HOWEVER, I noticed that at the end of 2009, some people on KZbin with a niche following started making videos warning about these people who would eventually be known as SJWs years later (A.K.A: puritans and hair colored idiots) and showed footage of these people talking about how they hated all men and wanted to do various censorship related things. it was very niche at the time, so most people including I didn't think much of the warnings at the time. The first half of the 2010's was normal for the most part, even though certain things started to slowly get worse. Facebook being a prime example (most people on Facebook started to get more serious and became more restrictive, refusing to talk to anyone they didn't know and would only talk to people they already knew). Twitter was around during the early 2010's, but it was FUN at this time and everyone was using it to post funny stuff (even rated R Andrew Dice Clay type humor) and Twitter was awesome and great at this time. Also, KZbin was freaking AWESOME during the first half of the 2010's. However, there was a website called Tumblr where all the puritans and hair colored idiots hung out. Unfortunately, those people migrated from Tumblr to Twitter a few years later and that's when everything started to go to hell. By 2016, the rise of the SJWs (puritans and hair colored idiots) hit the mainstream of the internet, Twitter went to HELL (what was once a fun website devolved into a total hellhole during the second half of the 2010's) and it got so bad that it started to rot a good portion of the rest of the internet (it was like an infection growing and growing). Also, the trolling had gotten far worse and serious during the second half of the 2010's, with trolls trying to DOX others, SWATTING (which has led to deaths), cancel culture which could legit ruin someones life, etc. And here we are now in the 2020's where we now have to walk on eggshells so the big tech companies don't screw us over and we don't get cancelled by some insane person on Twitter. Also, censorship of several things on KZbin, various search engines, social networking, has gotten really bad. Things have really changed for the worse on the internet compared to what it use to be.

[@timl1977]

This video is a pretty good assessment of that whole "Batman Returns" "controversy". I was 15 when this came out and didn't find it upsetting at all, but it was clearly not a "kid's movie" either. At the time "Superhero/Comic Book" movies were thought of as children's entertainment by the general public, the "Superman" films of the 70's and 80's were basically like Disney movies ...and after "Batman 89" there was "Dick Tracy" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in 1990, and Disney's "The Rocketeer" and "Darkwing Duck" in 1991, all of which were somewhat "dark" but still considered "family friendly entertainment" that McDonald's probably would have had toys for like the other Disney movies at the time like "The Little Mermaid" 1989 and "Beauty and the Beast" 1991. As strange as it may sound, McDonald's backing out of selling toys for "Batman Returns" was a big part of the problem, people were so used to seeing one of the films and then taking their kids to McDonald's to get the Happy Meal tie-in toy, that losing the "McDonald's seal of approval" freaked parents out... and in the early 90's there were also "A LOT" of these tabloid "Talk Shows" and they were all on 5 days a week, so they had to find "some controversy" to put on the air everyday. I remember seeing the Sally Jesse Raphael Show about "Batman Returns" and they were way more upset and crazy about "what this movie will do to the children". "Being Outraged" is what these shows were all about, but then the internet came along and took over "the outrage" and these shows disappeared... Warner Brothers knew what they were doing though, they knew half their audience teens and young adults who also loved R rated stuff like Robocop, Terminator, Rambo... the Dolph Lundgren "Punisher" also in 1989, "Darkman" in 1990... but Warner's also wanted to make that Happy Meal/Action Figure money... Joel Schumacher had made several popular films like "St Elmo's Fire" 1985, "The Lost Boys" 1987, "Flatliners" 1990, "Falling Down" 1993, "The Client" 1994, but one of his first jobs in Hollywood was writing the screenplay for "The Wiz" in 1978, and his 2 Batman movies have a lot in common with "The Wiz" which was the type of "family friendly entertainment" that McDonald's would have no problem with... If the guy who did "The Lost Boys" was asked to do a gritty, realistic, "Dark Knight" film in 1995? he probably would have done a good job of it, but that's not what the studio wanted after "Batman Returns". It took stuff like "The Crow" in 1994, "Blade" in 1998, and "The Matrix" in 1999 before the people at Warner Brothers realized Batman wasn't a "kids movie"
