- Tim Burton and Michael Keaton return to weirder and wintery Gotham City for a more personal take on Batman. Batman Returns, featuring Michelle Pfeiffer as the slinky and dangerous Catwoman and Danny DeVito as the misanthropic and twisted Penguin, allowed Burton to push the Dark Knight into an even darker and stranger world of heroes and villains!

About Batman Returns:
In the second of the blockbuster Batman films, the physically deformed criminal genius The Penguin threatens Gotham City--and, helpless, the entire city can only pray that Batman Returns. Only Batman (MichaelKeaton) can defend the city from total chaos as The Penguin (DannyDeVito) lays twisted waste to a great metropolis. Meanwhile, the Dark Knight may have met his equal in the lethally lithe Catwoman (MichellePfeiffer)--only he doesn't know if she is feline friend ... or foe.

The production design in the first two Batman movies were second to none. They need to go back to actually designing out Gotham instead of just flying out to New York or Chicago.
Hopefully they make something like the Batman Arkham game series
With today’s technology there’s no excuse.... I mean.... nowadays Batman Returns looks too much like a Set....love the movie though
@@alejandromolinac i like that look. I prefer it.
for the batman theyre shooting in england for some of those gothic looking buildings, which could work great for the tone it’s emitting
What do you mean, "just flying to Chicago"? Why does it sound so dismissive when shooting on the real locations is well known for being more time consuming, dangerous (if we're talking action scenes), and unpredictable. Shooting a city with mate paintings and miniatures is nowhere near as complex as doing it for real. Sound stages were the green screen before the green screen. A real location will always be appreciated by real fans of cinema.
My grandmother took me to see Batman Returns when I was 7 years old. It was one of the coolest and most lasting film experiences of my entire life. I will never forget it.
I am a few years older and I remember it on par with any of the other things in my, might i say quite remarkable, life.
Being dropped off at the theater with my two friends. The lines. The "bat logo" carved into peoples hairstyles. The costumes and themed shirts and hats
Movies were a much bigger event back then. They were a happening. I remember Godzilla a few years later not for the film but the absolute madness of hype. But Batman lived up to it and surpassed it's hype
That's awesome! I was also 7 yrs old. My mom wouldn't take me to see it. She heard that it was too dark & too violent, so she wouldn't take me. So my grandmother took me instead! Hehehe
RIP Grandma
My bros. Do you remember the vhs case of Jurassic Park? The one that looked like a stone.
Titanic was released at midnight at the videostore and it was an release party for it. And I live in a small town in sweden.
Bruh the McDonald's batmobile that shot in half
Likewise. I was 6
The Batsuit from “Batman Returns” with its Art Deco theme is one of my favorites of all the Batsuits.
This movie was definitely ahead of its time.
Danny Elfman’s score in this film was unreal. Maybe my favorite score of all time.
Also I wish they’d bring back Burton and give Pfieffer’s Catwoman the Logan treatment.
It was like something out of a horror film.
Love how Danny DeVito continuously refers to his character as “Oswald”. Shows how he sees the humanity of Penguin.
I mean... yes, he's an actor that had to embody a character, & that naturally comes, in some part, from sympathizing w/them. It's a part of the process. That said, the character's name in the film is Ozwald Cobblepot. He's rarely referenced as "The Penguin" & especially not by himself?
Batman Returns is a masterpiece! Saw it in the theater as a kid and still gives goosebumps from the opening and fantastic ending. So memorable, we won't get another one like this.
remember when the bat signal shines in the beginning and he hits the eyebrow raise.
Just like the first one 1989, two timeless masterpieces and what Batman should be, in my opinion.
Same story, ı was 7 when i fırst saw it in the theatre (in France). The music of Danny Elfman, the ambiance, every detail has its reason to be. Truly a masterpiece.
Saw it in treaters as a kid as well. It boggles my mind that mothers thought this version of batman was too dark for kids.
I saw Batman Returns at the cinema on my 13th birthday and I remember little kids getting carried out screaming after they saw the Penguin.
I love how Tim says they basically politely told him they didn’t want him back and then that producer in the next interview basically confirms that. Lol
If he made a batman movie today he would have batman, Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, and Robin all played by johnny depp.
@@cumulushalo576 I'd watch TF outta that.

Thank you Tim for giving life to the most iconic, epic and unforgettable Catwoman ever... I love Catwoman and MICHELLE PFIEFER set the bar so high.
Burton's Batman movies were less comic book films and more dark fairytales. From the set design, to the music to the actors... if just one of those elements are removed/changed, none of it works.
These movies are magical.
When batman movies were GOTHIC AF. Tim burton also directed it , the darkness was there.
I miss this also. And movies were more realistic..... today movies like Batman and Superman are trash.
The same also applies to Batman: The Animated Series, except it relied too heavily on Art Deco.
Kids today will never know the impact these and the Christopher Reeves Superman films had on comic book films.
What about the kids that watch things from before they were born? You know, like most people. I’ve never met anyone, even kids, that only watch movies that were made after they were born. That’s ludicrous. I’m 21 and these are the movies I grew up with. And the Christopher Reeve Superman movies. Superman II is my favorite Supes movie. And by the way it’s Reeve not Reeves. George Reeves is a different Superman actor.
Even if younger people aren't aware of the older comic book movies, the influence is still there. Even though Captain America existed for a long time, the way Chris Evans plays him probably wouldn't be the same without Christopher Reeve's Superman performance.
@@Hallinilla9 except a very large amount of them are aware. That’s like saying that because you weren’t alive in 1954 you’re not aware of the first Godzilla movie, Gojira. People are aware of the first Godzilla movie. People watch movies from before they were born.
@@AustinNGrayson Emphasis on "Kids" name one kid who you know between 10 - 18 who even mentions Christopher Reeve (and yes I meant to put an apostrophe by Reeves' in the main comment). Most will name Henry Cavill as Superman and Bale as Batman. These old school films are not as sacred as they once were and are highly under appreciated when you have CGI fests that make up the films today. You really aren't understanding the just of my comment. What you're not understanding is that these films paved the way for the later films. Most people don't even know the name Adam West let alone that he was one of the more notable Batman figures. Are you a "Kid of today" being 21? Understand my comment first then formulate a better structured reply
These movies are the best
This for me has always been the best Batman movie and it's a great tragedy Tim wasn't allowed to make more. The two we got after that were like a slap in the face.
Batman forever was decent
@@mikeygirls1988 I thought so as a kid but changed my mind when I grew up.
Imagine if the DCEU had started earlier in the 1990s that would had been AWESOME.
Tim did have the opportunity to make more he just decided not to.
@@paul111287 From everything I've read, Tim was up for making a third movie but the studio wasn't keen on his dark take on the genre as it made it difficult to merchandise. There had already been unhappy conservative types with the previous movies toys being marketed to kids by McDonald's. They discouraged Tim from making another and brought in Schumacher to make a more "toyetic" version.
Keaton will always be the best Batman
same
Be batman
My personal favorite. Keaton is just an awesome Batman. How can you not love 'im
Here IT is! With the perfect duality understanding and personality of Mr. Kevin Conroy as well.
by FAR the G.O.A.T.
I still do not understand why this movie had so mixed reviews. To this date it is my favorite Batman. The gothic style, the amazing score and the fact that none of the characters is exactly normal, all of them have their own dualities and nightmares. The movie resultet as a guilty pleasure
I have one phrase for ya
"WOULD SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!"
It got an 80% on rotten tomatoes
Because it was darker & different than the 1st one. I guess you didn't watch the doc before commenting. Besides it's considered one of the best superhero films of all time by critics today. Time has revealed it to be a turning point & an influence on many superhero films that followed.
It's a visual and well executed masterpiece but the movie had inconsistent writing in quite a few places
It was because angry parents back then and mis marketing, today no one would care, people would love to see another Tim burton movie
Batman Returns is still my favorite Batman film.
THIS BATMAN MOVIE WAS ONE OF THE BEST ..
This was the dawn of Batman TAS and the DCAU
Btas was in production at the same time as this movie and made to support it and the toy license to kenner. It was more promotional than inspirational
You mean batman 89 was the dawn of TAS
This and Batman 89
@@chillinwithdupes5170 Only the first five or six episodes. So yeah, it was indeed inspirational
The best animated universe ever!
That movie is a true work of art. There's never been another comic book movie in that style. The design of the costumes are still incredible to this day. That cowl is an amazing sculpture. Love it
It's so refreshing to hear what the filmmakers & actors *actually think* when they're removed from pushing the theatrical/home video release: that it's silly to wear the costume, addressing negative response to the movie, execs didn't like Burton's vision and wasn't asked to return. Great job!
Way hey, it's your boys!
Thanks for uploading the entire docu! Saw it as a child back in 1992, enjoyed it but with mixed feelings - the marketing with the merchandise/toy line misrepresented it - this isn't a kid's film. Burton went full-on dark gothic with morally ambiguous villains. They're complex and sympathetic, which is a much harder sell to children, who just want the valiant hero to beat up the baddies. This was ahead of it's time, it'd be so much better received today!
You’re right, it isn’t for kids at all. Overall I like the film even if I have some mixed feelings on it, but I do appreciate Burton taking a blockbuster superhero film in that direction. Even to this day there’s nothing quite like Burton’s Bat-flicks. The animated series is the closest in tone to the 89 film but that’s about it.
If you think about it Warner tried to recapture Batman Returns in the new Dc Comics movies. From Man of Steel to JLA.
@@jalenjohnson1662 I literally watched this when i was 5 five and i thought that this was the greatest movie ever. I still consider it the greatest batman movie of all times and one of my favorite movies of all times. And the animated series are the best :D animation that was ever created.
After re-watching it, Batman Returns is arguably hands-down the BEST Superhero movie of the 1990s!!!
I mean, it’s not a super high bar to reach. Lol
@@indianajones3454 There were still some decent superhero films in the 90's. I also still like the first Blade movie with Wesley Snipes.
I like how frank and honest these interviews are. Talking about the ridiculousness of wearing superhero suits, studio pressure, toy sales, mixed audience reception. Really makes these making of videos entertaining and real. Once the filmmakers are away from press junket and dvd bonus feature mode they can really open up and discuss. Even when they are admitting to faults of the film.
Um....This documentary WAS included as a dvd bonus feature...These interviews are 100% done under "DVD bonus feature mode".
My mom wouldn't take me to see it. She heard that it was too dark & too violent, so she wouldn't take me. So my grandmother took me instead! Hehehe
RIP Grandma
o yea that how it is your parents supposed to say no to most things n your grandparents supposed to say yes to most things lol 😆 😂 😅 😄 🙃 🤣 😆
NICE!!!!
Grandma rocks lol
@@stevenskates8077 yeah lol
@@entityedgenetwork2252 yea lol 🤣😆😎😆😎😆
So, I guess this is coinciding with the annoucement that Batman '89 is to get a new comic-book series in August!
Also they’re starting to film The Flash which will return to this world.
Finally, loving these documentaries
"Hey, why don't you make this a Tim Burton movie"
"Oh okay, fine I'll make it"
*Makes Tim movie*
* le Studio and mothers big mad*
Tim never returned for the third movie
Big mad. Lame.
The critics say that the movie was too dark for kids and McDonald's were mad at the studio
I still remember being 5 and obsessed with these two Batman films. Replaying and replaying the VHS. And, as a lot of people, wanting a third one. But hey, "never say never".
Same with me as a kid I was obsessed with the Batman Returns and Batman 89 vhs tapes. I wouldn't even give Batman Forever and B&R the time of day
Me 2 Must have watched the original Batman about 1000 times.
This guy wanted to remain in the shadows not revealing himself
Tim understood the Batman better than anyone else
Looking forward to Keaton returning in the flash
Keatons Batman and Reeves Superman are my absolute favorite representations on screen. I may have seen the Dark Knight trilogy and Man of Steel first but those guys... they are always my favorites
George REEVES? (nothing wrong with being a fan of his iteration)
I dont understand why some people like batman 89 but not batman returns, both are superb. Brilliant performances from both danny devito and Michelle Pfeiffer
I think he did well I think he captured the twisted nature and whimsical asthetics of the batman mythos
Batman Returns was such a classic! Still is to this day! Great movie!
Batman/Batman Returns are two incredible films so cemented in with my childhood memories that it’s difficult to understand why so many people don’t like it.
I want a Tim Burton Batman 3 with Michael Keaton, then I nice transition into Batman Beyond keeping Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne.
Michael Keaton is coming back as Batman so maybe he will get his third Bat movie.
I initially thought Robert was playing Terry not Bruce. I’m still disappointed he isn’t. We really need Batman Beyond movie. And Michael is at the right age to play an older Bruce.
face to face is one of the best themes in the movie
YES! Siouxsie & the Banshees was a very underrated band!
Would've definitely been alot better to see the rest of the franchise directed by Tim instead of Joel
Could have, but Burton was extremely burned out after batman returns. He was over it
@@WinningProduction420 I guess you didn’t watch all the way because he said he wanted to do another one but WB didn’t want him to.
@@cmbrock1 watch the batman forever commentary and Burton himself says he was burned out. He had little to nothing for a sequel either
@@WinningProduction420 umm I haven’t seen that I’m talking about this and what he said here. You have other information that’s cool but I’m talking about again what he said here.
@@cmbrock1 watch it too when you get the chance.. besides. WB didn't want Burton back anyways. They wanted Batman to be more kid friendly and marketable, especially after the backlash this movie got.
This movie is an art masterpiece (also 1989 Batman). Thank you Tim!
Batman and Batman Returns to me, will always stand on their own as the the two single greatest Batman movies in the universe. They have the total package. The dark, smokey mood of what I always saw Batman stories as. And the villains were beautifully dysfunctional and so interesting. Can you imagine if we had gotten a third movie with the same team? No question, the trilogy would stand head and shoulders as the true definition of a proper Batman series! As it is now, these two movies do the same. But have always felt like they are missing that third and final piece...
If I had a time machine, I would go back and make the third one happen!
It's too bad that Tim never made a third Batman movie, But at least they're making a comic that takes place after Returns and a Superman '78 comic.
Batman returns still is my favourite Batman movie.
* I AM AGREEABLE FOR THAT BECAUSE IT WAS SO BEST FROM OTHER FILMS .....*
Same
@@ritadomnic3530 I just love it’s gothic nature and how weird it is. Not many superhero movies can distinguish themselves from each other anymore.
She said what a dream to have casted the penguin and the Catwoman in one movie I beg to differ, because characters of that caliber deserve better character development
Mine too. I feel this film does the Batman character very very well
Thia movie is the best, it's three things for me: my favorite Tim Burton's movie, my favorite Xmas movie and my favorite Batman movie.
Agree 💯💯💯
By far Batman Returns is my favorite Batman film!
Mine too. Very underrated I will add
Catwomans transformation will always live in my head rent free. #HellHere
My aunt took me and my sister to see Batman Returns when I was 7 years old. I loved it. To me it didn't matter if it was dark or weird. It was Batman, Catwoman, and the Penguin in another Batman movie, and for me that's all I needed to know. I had a lot of the toys and remember the McDonald's promotion. What a fun time to be a kid.
Whoever is running this Warner Bros youtube channel, I LOVE this behind the scenes stuff. Please keep it coming. This content is gold
I love love this movie! Every character was so coherent. Tim Burton understood that universe!
My favorite Christmas movie! Keaton was awesome. Michelle was iconic!
Devito was an Oscar winner for this film!
This is more clearly a "Christmas movie" than some other so-called X-mas films ~
I love Batman, he's my favorite fictional character of all time. I. can't wait for this new premiere and can't wait to check out Matt Reeves' new Batman movie ! Batman Forever !
Same here dude
@@anubhavsoni7620 Do you play the Arkham games ?
@@anubhavsoni7620 batman chutiya hai
@@kishawnfedrick1405 yes dude I play
Same!
I miss the Batman films where Gotham City looked like an actual comic book city, whimsical and full of personality, instead of just a version of Chicago or New York with different signs we always get these days.
Every scene with The Penguin was gold! I only wish he had more interaction with Keaton.
This was when Tim was at the top of his game. He was excited and ambitious and had something to say. He started to lose this after Sweeney Todd.
Batman Returns is so fantastic, I'll never forget seeing the poster when I was 7 and wanting to desperately know more.
Michelle is so gorgeous and a great actress
Without Michelle Phieffer's Catwoman in Batman Returns, there would be no Harley Quinn.
You could argue without Tim Burton or Danny Elfman there would be no Batman TAS
@@wallywest2038 Shirley Walker.
@@wallywest2038 you could argue without Bob Kane and Bill Finger there would be no Batman Returns
@@frostbitepokin9520 You could argue
Harley Quinn was actually based in Alicia from the first movie
Batman 89 had best script but returns had best cinematography, every scene is a masterpiece
Visually and cinematically its still one of the best looking comicbook/superhero movies ever made even to this day.
I love Batman Returns! I think as a sequel it surpasses the original! IMO
I love these 2005 documentaries for all 4 films. I hope we get to see them all.
I loved Batman and Batman Returns.
Tim Burton is one of my favorite directors and Danny Elfman is proba5 my favorite soundtrack/music artist in movies.
So unfortunate they did not want Tim Burton to do the 3rd. He seemed to be really into it and probably had some very impressive ideas. A third film by him would have been epic.
Jimmy kimmel : michael, who is the best batman?
Michael keaton : Me... 😎🦇🦇🦇
This is an incredible film. Whether McDonald's got angry about its marketing or whether it was wrongly aimed at children is another matter, but the film was and is spectacular.
Tim Burton was a GENIUS for this one! Sure, it had its campy moments, and some of the dialogue was a bit cheesy ... but the storyline, overall aesthetic and production design of this film was AMAZING! And even though the Penguin & Catwoman had different origin stories compared to the original comics, they did a fantastic job with practically creating them from scratch as far as image and persona goes! Danny DeVito, and ESPECIALLY Michelle Pfeiffer, were great in playing their roles!
I heard someone say this before and I agree, "Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman in Batman Returns isn't comic accurate at all, but she's still the best live action Catwoman we have."
Such an iconic movie, it has a special place in my heart!
I remember my dad taking us to the drive in to see this, it was a awesome experience.
Michelle Pfeiffer absolutely killed it as Catwoman in this movie.
I was 11 years old in 1992 and this is still my favorite movie. Batman and Catwoman s relationship. Catwoman and the penguin. Christmas at Gotham. Come on! Its Tim Burton! It's perfect !!!!!
Burton was the right guy at the right place with the right crew. I don’t think we will ever get a Batman experience like this again. They should’ve let him continue.
Tim burton look like one of the villain's in his movies
I love that DeVito and Pfeiffer genuinely liked the previous versions and yet very much made their own new versions.
The best Batman movie ever !!
Batman Returns is a Christmas movie change my mind
As of right now Batman Returns is the best Batman film. I have loved it since I was a kid and it’s a shame that the studio didn’t try to keep Burton and Keaton for the other films, they would have been incredible but that’s another timeline.
Both Tim Burton's Batman movies are iconic and really the launching point for superhero movies. Batman & Batman Returns still hold up to this day. It was the watered down junk that came after that which killed the franchise for a time.
That Sean Young story is infamous! Wonder if she ever had a chance...
She looks hot in this Interview.
But my guess is no.
Why does this documentary forget Max Shreck and Christopher Walken?
He's a powerhouse, but kinda a second fiddle villain. Who will always wonder "Bruce Wayne, why are you dressed like Batman?"
@Dalton Frazier Walken is still alive but Penguin died to in the film. Shreck was created for the film only
Greatest Batman film ever
*Cue the Nolan fanboy backlash in 3... 2... 😄
(Though I won't lie ... I really liked TDK! 😎)
Yes tim burton and keaton was the only ones that captured the esence of Batman
@@bloodeagle6458 Not the only, but they definitely did it very well. Very masterfully
Absolutely amazing in every way imagined
Thm first batman suits was perfect man! Whn u see that as a kid its just bigger than life love those movies
I can't imagine anyone but Michelle playing Catwoman!
Batman Returns such an Underrated Movie IMO.
Batman Returns is a masterpiece.
Love it. Very insightful!
Batman and Batman returns..is still always gonna be my favorite of all Batman movies..
It´s strange to see Batman chewing gum.
Unpopular opinion: Batman Returns > Batman '89
I really wish Tim Burton and Michael Keaton had done a 3rd Batman movie.
Unpopular opinion: you can love both for what they are and not try to be controversial
@@SmellTheCanvis there's nothing controversial about either statement 😉
Of course but than we would had a curse like Raimi did with Spider-Man 3.
@@Thespeedrap except Raimi isn't Burton.
@@maybetoby True as well.Seems like Batman was Burton's baby like Spider-Man was for Raimi it just the studios were greedy and their cake and eat it too.
These sketches of the penguin are so cute 😊😂
My favorite quick shot was in Batman Returns was, when Batman DJ scratched The Penguin's voice track. It was not expected. @thedarkknightriders
Michelle Pfeiffer really brought her A game here. The highlight of the movie.
How someone can hate those Batman movies, they are my favs
One of the best movies of all time (my fav. Batman movie)
The tone makes sense since it was different than the first one because he did Edward scissorhands right before this. He carried over than tone to this movie.
Batman Returns holds a very special place in my heart, this is my firat big cinema experience as a child and i watched it with my late father. This is also my favorite interpretation of Gotham City on screen.
I agree with the sentiment at the end. While a third Batman movie from him would’ve been awesome, I’m glad he was able to move on instead. He could’ve made Batman forever amazingly but then we wouldn’t have Ed wood which is my favorite movie of his and one of my favorite movies of all time.
I wouldn't say that Batman Returns is a great film. But for some reason, I do still LOVE this movie.
бэтмен возвращение это шедевр шедевров и лучший кинокомикс
That was a great documentary!
One of the best batman movies 👏👏👏
Love how Tiny Toons made fun of Sean Young acting as Catwoman trying to break into Tim Burton’s office.
One of my favorite movies. It is amazing! In more ways that I can comprehend to express....
Batman return it's a grade film of the year the story is amazing I like with the way the movie play I'm a huge big Batman fan I was a kid I to now on 47 year old
