Siouxsie and the Banshees - Face to Face

Featuring clips from "Batman Returns" (1992).

Lyrics:

Face to face
my lovely foe
Mouth to mouth
raining heaven's blows
Hand on heart
tic tac toe
Under the stars
naked as we flow
Cheek to cheek
the bitter sweet
Commit your crime in your deadly time

Commit your crime in your deadly time
It's too divine
I want to bend
I want this bliss but something says I must resist

Another life
another time
We're Siamese twins writhing intertwined
Face to face
no telling lies
The masks they slide to reveal a new disguise

You never can win
it's the state I'm in
This danger thrills and my conflict kills
They say follow your heart
follow it through
But how can you
when you're split in two?

And you'll never know
You'll never know

One more kiss
before we die
Face to face
and dream of flying
Who are you?
who am I?
Wind in wings
two angels falling
To die like this
with a last kiss
It's falsehood's flame
it's a crying shame
Face to face
the passions breathe
I hate to stay but then I hate to play

And you'll never know
You'll never know . . .

What I loved most was the theme of duel identity starting with Bruce Wayne not being able to remember if he was Batman or Bruce Wayne he first saw Selina Kyle (I still love the 'I mistook me for someone else' line) and continuing through Selina becoming Catwoman and even with Penquine/Cobblepot. That kind of genius is what the later two movies lost when Tim Burton was removed so they could turn it into something akin to that campy 60's show.

They don't make videos like these anymore. Awesome music and great video.

Being born after that era and having seen the new Batman movies, I must say that Batman Returns is still the best. There's only one Batman, one Catwoman and one Mr Penguin—no other people can ever replace them.

life that is the opposite of the Batman. This is a very human story (told by "animals") of circumstances and consequences.

Batman Returns is a genius of a film! Better than the first one. I like how Tim Burton made it into a freak show—Batman, Catwoman, Mr Penguin—the city being the circus and everybody else the supporting cast. The film shows how similar yet different Catwoman and Mr Penguin are to the hero Batman. Catwoman has a dual personality like Batman but chose a different path, ultimately torn apart in the end. Mr Penguin was born to a rich family like the Batman but because of the way he was born, led a...

@3iD0LoN I've tried to forget everything about "Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin". Anyway, it seems to me "Batman Returns" handles the spit personality thing way better. :)

@LibraGamesUnlimited You must have forgotten that Bruce's storyline in Batman Forever was about him coming to terms with his dual identity, which at first he sees as a compulsion but later at the end realizes that he has a choice. Even the title of the movie, "Batman Forever", echoes his inner monologue, "Am I destined to be Batman forever? Why can't I live a normal life?"

@karloxferrey Sad but true.

@remalion now days videoclips are sooooo fuckenly comercials dumb sily.... just a crap.

[karloxferrey]

@honorio76 debo decir, keaton dio una buena interpretacion de batman, Bale tambien, la verdad es que igualmente el joker interpretado por nicholson es igualmente bueno, indudable que Ledger tambien hizo una magistral actuacion. I must say... it all depends of the script, and director Burton, also Nolad made master pieces with their batman movies. you must consider the time when those movies were made.

@honorio76

Christian Bale is lame as hell.

Now promptly fuck off..
