I loved Burton's vision of this movie, he made everything almost black and white. Catwoman and Penguin were pale, then you have the darkness of Gotham covered in white snow. Everything was beautiful and depressing. He did a great job making a cold, dead Gotham.
Batman was never supposed to be a blockbuster. Gothic and strange is where its at. Thats why Burton wins the race. Nolan did a good job. But even The dark Night (which i enjoyed) is overkill with car chases, damsel in distress and explosions etc Too many gadgets and characters. The dark knight rises is just way too long. Elfman killed it with this score. What a piece of music. Im biased because these were the movies of my childhood. Yet i stand by that Burton got the franchise more nailed on than anyone else. Elfman the music. Keaton was easily the best Batman. Dont know how anyone defeats all that.
Tom Burton's batman is like a German Expressionist movie it's dark drab and hope is basically non exsentent and the hero is even betrayed as dark and dreary which is why I love these movies
Tim Burton is one of the best directors in cinema. And even on a superhero film, a film that he did not want to make at the base, I find that he succeeded perfectly in this film, everything is dark, poetic and in addition It's CHRISTMAS, a perfect season sad, poetic and depressed. Add the actors, the incredible music of Danny Elfmann and we have a masterpiece !!! Well done Tim Burton !!!!
A stunning piece ! It goes so well with the visuals ...but is wonderful to listen to by itself . It is so redolent of Gothic sadness, coldness , menace ( inter alia) ...and it's beautiful !
I cannot tell you how long I've looked for this piece of awesomeness!!! Thank you so much for uploading it! Danny Elfman is the best, whatever this man writes, I love listening to!
@@PpAirO5 but penguin was the main villain. even as a kid you watched it because of the penguin. catwoman wasn't really a villain and not in it much. the sales pitch was penguin - the marketing.
Fun fact they were going to have Burgess Meredith play penguins Father at the beginning but he called in sick that day of filming so they got Paul Rubin instead
Imagine if Billy dee Williams reprised his role as Harvey Dent in this film. And became two face in this film. Also imagine if they used the draft of Batman Returns. To those who don't know Max Shrek was originally written to be The penguin's brother.
ProMonarchyGenius It's such a deep insightful movie. There's a depth to this movie that is startling at times. Every single time I watch it, I gain a new insight on the story or the characters. It is such a heartbreaking and beautiful and utterly perfect film in every way. Tim Burton has made many emotional films. But none of his films come close to the emotional intensity that Batman Returns has. I love this movie. It changed my life.
In my opinion, Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan can create a Gotham City and make it their own creation in their own right, they were successful. Burton's was Dark, Dreary, and Depressing, which is his trademark style. On the flip side, Nolan can make it modern, contemporary, and sophisticated just like in the comics. Both men have a gift and that's why they can and did make the best Batman movies.
Alp Yanlış What Schumacher did was disgusting turning the Batman movies into Broadway musicals and Nolan's movies just boring and preachy and it feels like a mash up of Law & Order and Cloverfield

It was supposed to be scary this was probably the scariest darkest Batman movie to be made that's what's so good about it. a Batman movie is supposed to have a dark atmosphere but parents backlashed at it because they thought it was too dark and violent for children and McDonald's wanted to sell Happy Meal toys.
I agree...This is so damn good!! Danny Elfman is a phenomenal creator, this has been the BGM to me since my childhood, I was 13 when this movie was released. When the soundtrack goes 'quiet'The suspense building in the background is spine chilling
In the comics, when he's young he always gets bullied because of his appearance and his overprotective mother always gives him an umbrella when he goes outside. In this movie, he was abandoned by his parents in the sewers and was raised by penguins
That danny elfman music when the cemetery scene came up... I was half expecting jack skellington to be mounted upon a statue prepared to break into song.
This is the only way to make an effective Batman movie. It's a ridiculous idea if you try and make too much sense of it. That's why the first two are the best
Every time I see the Cobblepots' mansion at the beginning, I've wondered if the Cobblepots were part of some sort of social elite for the wealthy of Gotham City alongside the Waynes before Batman and Penguin's births and Thomas and Martha's deaths respectively.
In most continuities, the Waynes and the Cobblepots were contemporaries, as well as operating in the same circles. The difference lies usually in the fact that the Waynes loved Gotham and wanted to give back to a city that had given them all they had, while the Cobblepots loved taking advantage of Gotham by making munitions factories and attempting monopolies while the Waynes built courthouses, orphanages, and hospitals, while encouraging competition to stimulate the market. Typically . . . though it does change depending on the setting.
@@austinkersey2445And the sons of the Waynes and Cobblepots reflected those attitudes. Bruce often gave to charity and provided funding to help uplift the poor and downtrodden. And as Batman, he inspired hope in the good people while scaring and pummeling bad guys. Meanwhile, Oswald, inspired fear and intrigue as he used his criminal activities to build his own financial empire. He even opened up a club called the “Iceberg Lounge”, which served as a front for his operations.

People talk about the Burton movies as if they are underrated hidden gems, they sold very well. Box office home runs. About as big and grand as commercial hollywood filmmaking gets
I know, right? Both films had big budgets and were from a major studio. _Batman_ was the second highest-grossing film of 1989 (after _Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade)_ and though _Batman Returns_ underperformed due to the parental controversy regarding its violent/suggestive content, it still was among the Top 10 grossers of 1992.

Tim Burton is the best
TheCONTINUE ElCrafteroXD Tim Burton is a genius and Batman Returns is my all time favourite movie :D
yeah you are right
ProMonarchyGenius Batman Returns is my favorite movie too :)
Oswald's Depression Nothing can be better than Batman Returns
This is my favourite christmas movie ever
Mine too. Right after National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Ah I see you’re a man of culture as well
Batman Returns, Die Hard and Its A Wonderful Life are my favs
I have Die Hard as my No.1 then Batman Returns.
me too
Batman 1989 and bATMAN returns, are the best batman movies for me, I mean..they are so mysterious
IMHO the best Batman movie is Mask of the Phantasm, but these are good movies, too.
Same
Same
Totaly agree.
What do you say about The Batman then 🤔
Only Elfman's music can get you psyched up during an opening sequence that consists of nothing but a baby carriage floating through the sewers.
One of my fav intro of all time...ambiance, music, filming...everything is damn perfect !
Tim Burton's visuals help as well.
Kinda fascinating how none of the previews advertised Christopher Walken being in the movie, until his name showed up in the first billing
The best Batman movie ever!
Yes and it's very nostalgic
@spoon That isn't false because it's an opinion. Everyone has one.
That's the best Penguin I've ever seen. 🐧
Not my favorite but of these tim burton movies it's my favorite
it was actually my first🙈
0:18 The sound of this organ is so magnificently beautiful!
I can’t stop replaying from 1:24 to 2:06. It’s so beautiful yet so haunting and chilling. I love this!
Ikr???
I cant stop listening from 0:59 to 1:13
"Merry Christmas!"
Yes!!!
This song is peak Halloween. Even though it's set around Christmas, it fits Halloween so well.
Amazing time to be alive in the 80s and 90s.
Batman was never supposed to be a blockbuster. Gothic and strange is where its at. Thats why Burton wins the race. Nolan did a good job.

You hit the nail on the head Burton's Batman was close to the comics
@@kyleshiflet9952 I think especially during the Kelley Jones era of the comics, where everything was freaky and distorted
Tom Burton's batman is like a German Expressionist movie it's dark drab and hope is basically non exsentent and the hero is even betrayed as dark and dreary which is why I love these movies
Yes we all saw the comparisons videos
Danny Devito played this stinkin role like a harp from hell!
Now, if we can just do something to take care of the squealing, wretched pinhead puppets at the Razzies!
@@awesomeproductions7755 "I didn't say that."
This came on at the supermarket out of nowhere and I legit thought I was about to fight the final boss of retail
i am not a human being!
i am an animal!
Crank the AC! Where are my lists? Bring me the names! It's time!
COLD BLOODED!!!
The Elephant Man?
@@jeremyelcuervo6091 yep! penguin says it the other way around XD
FURRY
Tim Burton is one of the best directors in cinema. And even on a superhero film, a film that he did not want to make at the base, I find that he succeeded perfectly in this film, everything is dark, poetic and in addition It's CHRISTMAS, a perfect season sad, poetic and depressed. Add the actors, the incredible music of Danny Elfmann and we have a masterpiece !!!
Well done Tim Burton !!!!
One of the best pieces of music ever created.
Everyone talks about the Joker of Heath Ledger but nobody talks about The Penguin of Danny DeVito for me is the definitive live action batman Villain
yeah, he licks his lips close to microphopne, sold them ASMR and they bite it. Losers
Danny Elfman..........simply a genius!
2:23 The abandoned "abomination" in its wicker carriage floating into the sewer cries out in its high pitched blood curdling voice. "AHH! AHHHH!"
To a child, who was born, a little different. A child, who spent his first Christmas, and many since, in a sewer.
A stunning piece ! It goes so well with the visuals ...but is wonderful to listen to by itself . It is so redolent of Gothic sadness, coldness , menace ( inter alia) ...and it's beautiful !
My sentiments exactly. I replayed the shit out of "Descent into Mystery" and this track.
To me this is the actual main theme of Batman Returns. Such a different feel than the first movie.
burton had full control over this one. this one is more his vision. it looks and sounds like a burton movie.
the music is a mix of burton and batman.
@@fraser_mr2009 How much does Burton actually know about composing music? I'm sure Elfman deserves more credit here.
Well... it IS the main theme of Batman Returns. It plays during the main titles, after all.
I cannot tell you how long I've looked for this piece of awesomeness!!! Thank you so much for uploading it! Danny Elfman is the best, whatever this man writes, I love listening to!
This movie was so gothic, it even had an organ in it.
I liked Flash, but Burton is the only should be directing Keaton as Batman
Vote Cobblepot
Batman + Christmas =
Perfection
Penguin is my favorite batman character.
mhia4 He's been my favorite batman character since I was seven years old :)
I was a very young child when I saw the Tim Burton movies and felt a connection with Penguin.
Mine is Batman 😏 but Catwoman when it comes to villains.
@@PpAirO5
but penguin was the main villain. even as a kid you watched it because of the penguin.
catwoman wasn't really a villain and not in it much. the sales pitch was penguin - the marketing.
oh god I gotta watch returns now
The music of darkness..
Listening to this on my birthday. My friends used to insult me and call me The Penguin.
And you can remind them that the Penguin is a bird that cannot fly. BUT HE KNOWS HOW TO KILL!
Returns OST is a masterpiece.
"The death of the Joker was only the beginning." I wrote that for this film.
Fun fact they were going to have Burgess Meredith play penguins Father at the beginning but he called in sick that day of filming so they got Paul Rubin instead
Imagine if Billy dee Williams reprised his role as Harvey Dent in this film. And became two face in this film. Also imagine if they used the draft of Batman Returns. To those who don't know Max Shrek was originally written to be The penguin's brother.
Batman Returns, or what happens when Tim Burton unleashes his creative genius.
FandeJay I wish that Tim Burton would unleashed his creative genius again. Batman Returns is a genuine masterpiece
ProMonarchyGenius If stupid parents hadn't whined and complained Tim Burton would have been allowed to direct a third Batman film.
ch2010ize And thanks to those stupid parents we ended up watching a couple of gay pornos called Buttman Forever and Buttman & Whiny Boy
DanQuarterback Dan Defensive line Me too
ProMonarchyGenius It's such a deep insightful movie. There's a depth to this movie that is startling at times. Every single time I watch it, I gain a new insight on the story or the characters. It is such a heartbreaking and beautiful and utterly perfect film in every way. Tim Burton has made many emotional films. But none of his films come close to the emotional intensity that Batman Returns has. I love this movie. It changed my life.
In my opinion, Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan can create a Gotham City and make it their own creation in their own right, they were successful. Burton's was Dark, Dreary, and Depressing, which is his trademark style. On the flip side, Nolan can make it modern, contemporary, and sophisticated just like in the comics.
Both men have a gift and that's why they can and did make the best Batman movies.
wcwlives Chris nolan gotham in BB was good but in the dark knight and rises it was gotham no more
Nolan's Gotham had no personality. It was just Chicago.
Prefer Burton’s
You forgetting mah man Schumacher?
Nolan didn't create shit. I take one look at TDK and recognize "oh that's Chicago"
Damn! 1:24 to 2:27, best part of the track.
Batman Returns is the greatest movie of all time and it has the greatest soundtrack of all time :D
i agree. it is a gothic masterpiece
Alp Yanlış I wish Tim Burton did more Batman movies
ProMonarchyGenius me too. Batman Returns is flawless but schumacher Batman was horrible and nolan Batman was stupidly realistic
Alp Yanlış What Schumacher did was disgusting turning the Batman movies into Broadway musicals and Nolan's movies just boring and preachy and it feels like a mash up of Law & Order and Cloverfield
ProMonarchyGenius i hope Ben Affleck's Batman will be darker. like Batman Returns

You can hear the Nightmare before christmas in that intro damn this guy is good at making these types of movies 🦇🎃
I totally heart it at 0:45 - 1:13
BEST BATMAN
1:23 to 1:50 is the best part of the whole song
Always fascinated by Burtons Penguin growing up and taking over the Red Triangle Circus Gang. That's the prequel i needs.
Play this song on your earphones while you walking late through the frosted city before christmas :-)
amazing orchestra!!!!!!
This is what happens when you give the director a blank check. It’s Awesome.
batman 1989 movies and batman returns movie just like horror haunted movies...penguin in batman returns so very horror,haunted and scary.hahaha
According to TV Tropes this would be an example of an "Ominous Pipe Organ."
Great actors and movie. Pinguin is the best👍👍😍😍😍
In the comics, when he's young he always gets bullied because of his appearance and his overprotective mother always gives him an umbrella when he goes outside. In this movie, he was abandoned by his parents in the sewers and was raised by penguins
Penguin is basically Uncle Fester with long curly hair.
Anytime I see someone walk in front of me while driving, I still scream out: "Helpless old lady, 12!"
Man... this really gets me.
Still the best Batman Movies with the best Score!
That danny elfman music when the cemetery scene came up... I was half expecting jack skellington to be mounted upon a statue prepared to break into song.
