Batman 1989 and Batman Returns are two classics that deserve wayyyy more recognition than they get now. As much as I love the Nolan trilogy and like The Batman 2022 quite a bit, these movies were truly perfect comic book movies with the all time greatest live action versions of Batman, Joker, Catwoman and Penguin ever in any Batman adaptation. 80s and 90s really were the most special times for movies, tv shows, music etc. Nothing today comes close to that level of awesomeness.
@@scoremat And yet you're here for some reason? lol And clearly these movies hold up great which is why they're still the gold standard of comic book films along with Superman: The Movie, Blade, Hellboy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1990 and Spiderman 2.
It's ok, I wouldn't call them comic history shattering movies. I remember the mania surrounding the releases and it's nostalgia that makes it hold a special part in our hearts of an otherwise quite ordinary pair of movies. But the production design of Gotham was really exceptional and has aged very well.
the full into is piece of art in itself. burton uses props alot. alot of the film is filmed on a set design. he doesn't use real locations or a green screen.
this is the masterpiece of all batman-movies ever, and its a perfect christmas movie, the atmosphere of batman-returns is awesome, its so dark and gothic, one word TIM BURTON!!!
@@fraser_mr2009 I never said they were bad. I just don’t think of them as “the best movies ever made” according to most Nolan fans (no disrespect to them).
I'm 52 and I was 23 when this was released in 1992. I remember all the posters advertising it on the subway. They said The Bat. The Cat. The Penguin. June 19. Serious nostalgia.
Omfg!! Glad I'm not the only one. I remember seeing that on VHS as a very young boy, waiting and WAITING for this movie! Then when those letters rolled on screen with the bat's and music it nearly brought me to tears!
This sequel perhaps misunderstood at the time, maybe even disrespected. But as time went on and has been fully appreciated for the great movie that it was.
I remember people being all offended by the movie's dark nature...McDonalds got involved citing that they condemned the movie for its darkness... probably why we got the corny af cartoon like batman sequels that followed.
@@nunka34ify That's the problem people had with "Returns". It was *too* dark, 1989 was dark but it had moments where it could at least breathe. They're why "Forever" was made because of these complaints. While "Batman Forever" is cheesy, it does have moments where the story delve more into psychology more than Tim Burton did in '89 and '92. Accentuated more in the alternate cut people *really* want to see released and the novelization.
Michael Keaton is the best Batman, Michelle Pfeiffer is the best Catwoman, Danny DeVito is the best Pinguin, Batman Returns is the best movie of Batman
YES TO ME MICHAEL KEATON IS MY BATMAN, MICHELLE PFEIFFER IS MY CATWOMAN, DANNY DEVITO IS MY PENGUIN, JACK NICHOLSON IS MY JOKER - THIS WAS MY INTRODUCTION TO THE BATMAN WORLD SO THIS ACTORS HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART! 😢❤📺
Batman from 1989 and 1992 are the best movies... I like the Dark Knight trilogy too...but will never be so nostalgic like the first two movies with Michael Keaton...=)
They're all great for different reasons. I will say though that the two Burton movies captured Batman's gothic and campy nature perfectly while also Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson setting the gold standard for portrayals of live action Bruce Wayne\Batman and Joker to date.
Burtons and Nolans are in two completely different worlds both reflect different sides of the Batman legacy , Burtons shows an utterly dark and gothic world and Nolans shows a realistic interpretation , both great for different things , and lmao at fools saying burtons were for children , batman and batman returns have some of the creepiest and darkest visuals of any batman film , would hardly say a film where the penguin plans to drown first born children in the sewer is for kids , being a surreal comic book style film is different to.being "childish"
+Jack Hamilton ... what does the Nolan movies reflect of the Batman legacy? Or more importantly, what does it reflect that the comics haven't already done much better and much more well-written than him? Here's a hint: Jack shit. :P Batman Begins was based on the Year One comic, a far superior story. The Dark Knight was based on The Long Halloween and The Killing Joke, both of which are so much better stories than The Dark Knight that it's not even funny. And The Dark Knight Rises was based on The Dark Knight Returns, Knightfall, and No Man's Land. And again, all of which are far superior stories. Not because of their length, but because they were written competently and felt like they cared about the Batman mythos. Nolan couldn't even get Batman himself right, but turned him into a whiny insecure extremely gullible and clumsy and incompetent buffoon... with throat cancer.
Jack Hamilton ... what? I never talked about the Burton movies. I didn't say what I said because I want to defend the Burton movies. I said it because I think Nolan's Batman movies are complete insults to the source material. And good way to show how mature you are by calling me a "fan boy fag". :P But sure, I am a fanboy of the post-crisis comic, and I AM gay. I just don't see how that's negative to be.
+Jack Hamilton indeed, I actually think that despite some graphic violence in The Dark Knight, Batman Returns is the darkest Batman movie yet, from the opening credits to the moment Selina kills Shrek with that electrifying kiss, the movie sometimes feels like it should have been rated PG-15.

Ever since I first saw Tim Burton's Batman Returns in the movie theaters in 1992 as a 6 1/2 year old boy, no other superhero movie impressed me as much as Batman Returns. This movie is so haunting, dark, and deep that after 22 years after it was made it inspired me so much that I become a MLP FIM fanfic writer and my first story is based on Batman Returns. And I am so happy that there is a new Batman Returns action figure line :D
same here with me and i was 8 when i saw this movie with my dad and sister in the big screen :) I still have that batman returns movie poster and hasn't aged at all ;) thats the time in that movie i became a catwoman fanatic and was her for halloween :)
Well for me funny enough after i saw that movie, it never got me nightmares at all. The only thing was getting nightmares was seeing the Jaws movie poster

Katherine Black lol I said that because it had some disturbing moments, like the Penguien biting a guys nose, Max Shreck's disfigured corpse, and the Penguin's death...
Oh yeah that biting nose did freak me out like on video when saw it kept hiding but then yes got used to it. Lol I think my dad was fine for me seeing this movie. What movie really traumatized me was the live action of The Jungle Book (back in 94). Sher-Kan the tiger attacking human scenes, the guy drowned in swamp, and Kaa the snack attacking the human too. Eeekk never saw that movie again!
Got chills when Michelle’s name appears. Imagining this at the premiere in 1992, no one yet knowing how ICONIC and still-talked about this performance would be.
I wish superheroes movies were like this now - the theme music makes you excited, great cast, entertaining story... i haven't enjoyed a "Theme Park" movie (as Mr Scorsese call them ) in a long time the only reason am looking forward to the new one is because i love Batman and Robert / Paul are two of my favorite actors!
90s goth kids must've had a field day during x-mas specially with burton making films like edward scissorhands,nightmare before xmas and batman returns
I remember seeing this with my father many years ago.........I was a bit on the young side but batman was my favorite character and still is so I was there.
The early /mid 1990s was an exciting time for batman, tim drake becoming robin and his solo kick off, start of the animated series and Harley Quinns intro, the knightfall/knight quest/ knightsend stories, the debut of bane and of course this movie. This music takes me back to that time as a kid
People say Terminator 2: Judgement Day is the best sequel ever. I'd put Batman Returns right up there with T2. Early 90's was really a great time for movies and music lol.
Im sure they came out atthe same time or not long apart from each other but there was definetly a tike i was waiting to see them both and it was amazing times
This movie ended up being one of the great comic book movies of all time. It was under appreciated for its time. But as the years went on, and people saw the abortion that was to come with this franchise, people largely re-examined this movie and truly appreciate it. I love this movie. I think it is a classic.
Just like how the Incredible Hulk 2008 was vastly unappreciated for years until the MCU raped Hulk's character in Infinity War and Endgame and suddenly everyone looked back and saw how truly good that movie was and is, and how faithful it was to the classic Bill Bixby\Lou Ferrigno series.
The issue was the movie after it was an overreaction to the movie that came before it. My main complaint about this movie was that it was a Tim Burton film primarily and not a Batman one.

When we look at the Nolan Batman Movies, they each within the Trilogy bring about a newer, modern sense of grittiness to the Batman Legend. Now the Joel Schumacher's Batman films Now those were for Kids!!!
+Christian Edward "As gritty as the comics that came out at the time"? Wait... are you suggesting comics back then were less dark and gritty than comics of today? Uhm... you don't read many comics, do you? Before Batman Returns, do you even know which comics had been released? The Dark Knight Returns, Year One, The Killing Joke, A Death in the Family, and Arkham Asylum: ASHOSE - all of which are much more gritty and adult and well-written and dark than Nolan's Batman movies ever were. Heck, Nolan even tried to mimic a lot of these comics and be as good as they are... only to make far inferior versions of those stories in his movies.
This opening's without a doubt the creepiest opening to any Batman movie considering that it shows the birth of Penguin! Add to the fact that dark and gloomy music's playing during this opening scene makes it even more creepy and iconic!
I was young and i had a bucket of pop corn in one hand and a big coke in another. And. My little cousin was sitting there with his batman action figure glued to his hand and i can tell you. This the movie was so loud and with this opening score. We looked at each other and was in Awe. What a time to be alive
12 years old back in ‘92 and indeed I was getting goosebumps in the cinema during this whole opening title sequence. Finally after such a long wait, I was getting a sequel to Batman. The hype was very real guys!!
@@davidw5532 Man, I wasn't born til a year later but I envy all of you who got to see this when it came out. I imagine the hype was close to what '89 had.
@@kendallrivers1119 for me it was even more hype than the first! This film is a masterpiece! A shame the executives didn’t want Burton back after this. But good on Keaton to refuse to do the third one since Tim was out.
@@davidw5532 Yeah, the only Bruce\Batman that is slightly better than Keaton for me is Kevin Conroy but other than that Keaton is most definitely the definitive live action Batman. Without him the rest of the modern ones wouldn't exist.
As a Kid in 92 I dont Remember this movie being Controversial. I remember it being Advertised EVERYWHERE. So much buz and Excitement for it amongst us kids. A Great Movie from my Childhood. Thats why I bought it on Blu-ray. 😁

+Christian Edward "As gritty as the comics that came out at the time"? Wait... are you suggesting comics back then were less dark and gritty than comics of today? Uhm... you don't read many comics, do you? Before Batman Returns, do you even know which comics had been released?
The Dark Knight Returns, Year One, The Killing Joke, A Death in the Family, and Arkham Asylum: ASHOSE - all of which are much more gritty and adult and well-written and dark than Nolan's Batman movies ever were.
Heck, Nolan even tried to mimic a lot of these comics and be as good as they are... only to make far inferior versions of those stories in his movies.
+Christian Edward Nossa!Para mim, o melhor personagem do filme foi o Pinguim
Tim Burton may not have been a person who liked doing sequels but this is one of the best Christmas movies ever made
This movie, Batman 1989, The Dark Knight Trilogy and of course Batman: Mask of the Phantasm are and ALWAYS WILL BE my all time favorite Batman movies
Best Christmas movie ever!
This opening's without a doubt the creepiest opening to any Batman movie considering that it shows the birth of Penguin! Add to the fact that dark and gloomy music's playing during this opening scene makes it even more creepy and iconic!
Michael keaton to me is and always will be the true batman
And Conroy is best voice eh?
@@Johnlindsey289 when it comes to the animated series and the arkham games.......sure lol
Thank you for this my favorite film when I was child.
I love this movie!!!
This opening sequence explains Evil better than anything ive ever seen or heard in my life.
My favorite batman movie ever.
Best ever BGM for a Batman film and it’s sequel!
I remember the day I saw this in theatres, winter themed movie right in the middile of summer, it was awesome.
Best Christmas Movie ever!!!!!
How excited fans must have been sitting in the theater for this film.
I was young and i had a bucket of pop corn in one hand and a big coke in another. And. My little cousin was sitting there with his batman action figure glued to his hand and i can tell you. This the movie was so loud and with this opening score. We looked at each other and was in Awe. What a time to be alive
12 years old back in ‘92 and indeed I was getting goosebumps in the cinema during this whole opening title sequence. Finally after such a long wait, I was getting a sequel to Batman. The hype was very real guys!!
@@davidw5532 Man, I wasn't born til a year later but I envy all of you who got to see this when it came out. I imagine the hype was close to what '89 had.
@@kendallrivers1119 for me it was even more hype than the first! This film is a masterpiece!
A shame the executives didn’t want Burton back after this. But good on Keaton to refuse to do the third one since Tim was out.
@@davidw5532 Yeah, the only Bruce\Batman that is slightly better than Keaton for me is Kevin Conroy but other than that Keaton is most definitely the definitive live action Batman. Without him the rest of the modern ones wouldn't exist.
The part with both themes mix and appears the Bats with the titles has always been epic.
Danny Elfman did a magnificent job with the soundtrack for the 1990s Batman movie channel what Batman actually about beautiful
As a Kid in 92 I dont Remember this movie being Controversial. I remember it being Advertised EVERYWHERE. So much buz and Excitement for it amongst us kids. A Great Movie from my Childhood. Thats why I bought it on Blu-ray. 😁
Best Batman Intro Ever Love It!
