  • "The Bat, The Cat, and The Penguin" was the tag line to one of the strangest and most Burton-ish Batman movie of them all, the one that no one really talks about, is it too dark and miserable or is it just misunderstood??

      This and Mask of the Phantasm are the best hands down. DeVito is just an incredible, SEVERELY underrated actor. The only thing wrong with this movie is the stupid cd crashing scene and the iffy mini batmobile scene. Those two scene sink this as a masterpiece. Burton KNOWS Gotham and Burton's Gotham IS Gotham. Keaton IS Batman. This IS Batman's theme and DeVito and Catwoman ARE Penguin and Joker.

      Not necessarily in order, but the top three catwoman performances are Michelle Pfeiffer, Anne Hathaway and Julie Newmar with Eartha Kitt a close fourth. The bottom one is easily Halle Berry in Catwoman. There is no contest. And her performance was better than that of her villain Sharon Stone.

      Agree. Burton and Keaton understood better than anyone else in films that Batman was the real identity. That's why Keatons Bruce was awkward and high strung around others, except for when he's in the cave or talking to Alfred, when he can be truly himself. And the way the movie ends- Bruce finding himself in the EXACT same place as Vicki Vale in the first movie, now having met his match.

      Dude, something tells me that what happened is that you were afraid of offending Nolan's trilogy followers (the only kind of person that may say the old movies are bad just to "protect" the DK trilogy... once other people started saying the old ones were better). I have never met someone that had actually seen the movie without prejudice and said it was bad, they may say there are better movies, but they all agree this movie is awesome when talking about it.
      In short words, don't trust nor obey the internet, you know it is a good Batman film, why deny it or disguise it?

    It was underrated, but I remember when it came out I was looking forward to it. It was simply the bar set by Jack in the first one that people didn’t feel Danny could live up to, or maybe the Joker character sets a bar that people didn’t feel the Penguin character could live up to, or both, but either way very underrated.

      Danny DeVito deserved a Oscar for his performance of the Penguin. Not only was he was incredible but he was also unrecognizable. With the makeup, the the voice, and the mask it didn't feel like I was watching Danny DeVito, I felt like I was watching the penguin. In my opinion he owned this role just like Health Ledger owned the Joker role.

    Batman Returns is perhaps the most evocative of the franchise because when the Emperor Penguins slid his body back into the abandoned Zoo's pool at the Polar Exhibit the audience had sympathy not vengeance for the Villain unlike the others in the series. To be fair Batman/Robin was intentionally more kid friendly on purpose and was more of an homage to the 60s TV Series which like the film is a bit of a romp if you don't take either seriously. Indeed more complex/darker themes was a growing trend in films of the genre a decade later and even the MCU earliest entry's were part of that transition and today Batman Returns would be a bit to neo gothic to be made now. It's rare for these films to be set in any other but familiar surroundings cities are today and about the only time they do is a CGI landscape/building/lair from a Comic/Graphic Novel that you wouldn't find but in its pages...

      We all know Schumacher's Batman movies were utter garbage. But it's my *personal opinion* that Nolan's 3 were just awful as well, for different reasons.
      Michael Keaton & Burton worked great together (we got BEETLEJUICE between Bat-Flix!). Everybody is supposed to say Ledger was the "Ultimate Joker". We only say that cuz he's dead and rumors said the role drove him mad... or more likely designer drugs. He had no jokes! Evil, yes. "Clown Prince of Crime" never. Nicholson is the pinnacle. Squirting flower, trick music box, Joy buzzer, chattering teeth, 4ft pistol, and Jack's unmatched ability to play utterly insane and love it! He had fun! Ledger licked his lips way to much and got the Suicide Pity Praise! )like Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain).
      Keaton plays a perfect nut job too! I also hate Nolan's Batmobile utterly. The kids growing up thinking it was "cool" didn't experience the Burton-era Batmobile.

    Beautiful work Minty! This was actually one of my favourites back in the day. All the actors did an absolutely fabulous job with their characters. I feel DeVito is the best penguin to date. Michelle’s Catwoman was absolutely inspiring and Keaton has always been my favourite Batman strait from day one. But what got me most was the dark city of Gotham. It’s massive scale (Yes very much like Metropolis!!!) incredible attention to detail l, it married into the retro comic book style too. Completely ahead of its time.
    I really wished this had turned into a trilogy with Keaton and Berton coming back for a third and final time it would have been a beautiful way to wrap up this series. It’s very rare when a sequel is just as memorable as the original.
    Gonna go downstairs now and put up my Keaton Batman poster now.

    His story is practically the same as that character, even his look is kinda similar.
    He's technically a combination of two characters, Rupert Thorne and Selina Kyle's abusive husband who was the reason for her becoming catwoman.

    Minty I don't know what you mean, I loved the dark nature of Batman Returns just like I did for the Empire Strikes Back. I was actually kind of sad they stopped making Batman movies in that style for a long time until we finally got Batman begins to bring back the dark and gritty

    Absolutely love this film! May be my favorite, so dark and gothic as it should be in my opinion. And seeing that action figure on your table is a big sucker punch of nostalgia. I had SOOO many Batman action figures as a young kid. I was obsessed.

    Its still a fav of mine!! Soooo well done and Michelle Pfeifer cant be beat! Love how the actress was actually able to whip off the mannequin heads in that one scene.
