After this movie, Burton directing a third Batman movie was ditched. Instead by 1995, came Joel Schumacher as director and came two underrated dumbass actors to fit the batsuit until the original film series was over- Val "guppyface" Kilmer and George "I-don't-give-a-fuck-who-you-are" Clooney.
Both Frank Miller(TDKR) & Alan Moore(The killing joker) submerged batman into levels of "dark and despair" way before Nolan And Burton and made the Joker more evil/Psychotic than Ledgers awful "joker" could ever hope to be..Again...Way before either. Burton Or Nolan.
THE best movie of all superheros movies and of of the best movies ever made.... one of the best scene ever ....where Keaton is dancing with that beautifull Michell... and i must mention the scene where Keaton meets De vito- "THINGS CHANGE"" it is nice to see that people recognize art!(MESSYLIN) GOOD WORK ! fuck all movies these days....
I felt that Prince's songs (Partyman and Trust) that were written for the film and played over the Joker scenes, were inherently glossy, light and slightly campy - like Nicholson's Joker, to a degree. Face To Face, however, conveys the darker, conflicting natures of the players in Returns.
@Scruffy193 true, but there were some form of darkness in batman.. however its so ironic this movie was more darker yet it was. however did reflect this film.
Although, unlike TDK Joker, Nicholsons Joker was possibly more insane, and thus kinda dark. He gleefully kills people, TDK one is more like his, excuse the pun, "serious" 1940's counterpart.
Mark Hamil in my opinion is amazing as the Joker. In fact, all of the Jokers are amazing in their own right. However, I haven't seen Under the Red Hood yet, save for the scene with Robin and the Joker.
I always liked this movie. The Penguin looked so evil in this movie. I was so used to the Burgess Meredith version from the 60's series until this came out. The Penguin is a terrific villain in the Batman Universe...I wonder when they'll bring him into the new films? It will also be hard to top this movie's Catwoman, so it should be interesting to see how the new on fares.
@EvilShadow76 Perhaps in 'The Dark Knight sequel, the Penguin might appear. And if he did, I say Nolan should hire Danny DeVito to reprise the role becuase he sure was awesome in Batman Retirns.
@tikifreakazoid lol...it can really go both ways. Although, I can't get princess diaries out of my head when it comes to hathaway. She's got a really bubbly cheerful face, not really selina kyle.
Don't facepalm just yet. A lot of people had reservations about Heath Ledger as the Joker. Watch the movie first, THEN decide if it's deserving of a facepalm. *lol*
Great sequel and the last good Batman film in the formal series. Michelle Pfeiffer was hotter than hell in this movie. It's a real shame that Burton didn't direct the next two films.
Yes Schumacher's movies were crap but good to make fun of in a MST3K kind of way since i own the Batman Anthology on Blu-Ray and i love how Schumacher made fun of his own movies on the commentaries and he even said he was sorry making them, glad Nolan rebooted the series after the damage they did.
@Johnlindsey289 I thought she was better than all of them combined actually. She truly was born to play Catwoman and i thought the casting for this film was flawless. It's my third favorite Tim Burton film with Edward Scissorhands being first and Beetlejuice second.
What did you think of Eliza Dushku as Catwoman/Selina on Year One? Year One both graphic novel and animated movie features my least liked version of Catwoman despite her costume is great but she looks unattractive and looks like Sinead O'Conner with the shaved head and was a hooker swimming in diseases.
I hear you, shalomamigos. By the way, I liked the first movie better. Personally, I think the second one was more unrealistic. For example that mobile phone sonar thing, or the batpod. And I felt that the story-line was a bit longer, than expected. So, I wasn't satisfied with second one, myself. :P But maybe, we felt this kind of thing in different ways. Let's hope, the director will fix this in the third movie. :)
@TheEmptiness42 Unrealistic as opposed to the complete realism of penguins living under the sewers and then being sent to blow up Gotham with missiles strapped to their backs.
OK Blitzbok. Then let's take out all the characters, actors and extras. What do you have? Don't get me wrong, Tim Burton's Batman movies were brilliant. I like them. But come on, Batman Begins was boring? You can't be serious. If every second minute is about explosions, you would enjoy it? :P
@TheEmptiness42 I think Batman Begins and The Dark Knight didn't have enough style. Almost as if Batman was working in broad daylight. Sometimes they felt more like a political thrillers than Batman movies. Harvey Dent got more attention than Scarecrow, who was more intimidating and creepy as Dr. Crane. I enjoyed the movies, but also felt a little disconnected.
Batman Returns stands head and shoulders above the Dark Night. Not only in terms of a superior lineup of actors with actual screen presence, scripting, atmosphere and directing, but a vastly superior, and more distinctive soundtrack. This was one of my favourites.
@mmmmmmmmmm9999 Batman Begins was by far the most boring, and Dark Knight was basically Ledger all by himself. Both have a very weak cast of actors, weak script, weak soundtrack, dreary and slow plot and no atmosphere. Though Dark Knight was less so than Batman Begins. Take Ledger out of DK, and you have a movie as equally bland as Batman Begins. But then who can compete with Burton and Elfman? A hugely dynamic duo.
I liked the score for Batman Returns and its final end credits that faded off nicely to Siouxsie & The Banshees “Face to Face” also the music scoring mix by Shawn Murphy was nice done
Ive been hearing rumors that Angelina Jolie is considering to play Catwoman if she is in the next Batman movie. I judt don't see Angelina Jolie walking around in black skin tight vinyl and a whip.
totally agree, the best catwoman ever!! so sad they dumped the plans about a spinoff back then. michelle pfeiffer was the ultimate catwoman in this movie!!! :))
