BATMAN RETURNS (1992) Revisited- DC Movie Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 чер 2024
- Tim Burton’s Batman successfully reinvented the superhero film and wound up being one of the biggest hits of the 1980s. Warner Bros was desperate for a sequel, but this time Burton wouldn’t have to work under the close supervision of producers Jon Peters and Peter Guber, who’d since left the studio. Virtually given carte blanche, the result would be a much darker, holiday set tale that would feature the Caped Crusader (played by a returning Michael Keaton) going up against Danny DeVito’s hideous The Penguin. At the same time, the movie would be dominated by Michelle Pfeiffer’s tragic anti-heroine, Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman. The violent, dark film outraged parents in 1992 and led WB to virtually reboot the franchise with Joel Schumacher at the helm. Still, thirty years later, Batman Returns is considered a masterpiece. Join us on this episode of DC Revisited as we dig into this classic.

#BatmanReturns #Catwoman #TimBurton - Розваги
If _Batman Returns_ were released today, Michelle Pfeiffer's performance as Catwoman would receive Heath Ledger-level accolades.
I agree! She IS Catwoman...
Agree, she was so damn good. My favorite line "Because HE IS BATMAN, you moron"
Absolutely, she totally owns that role and easily makes the shortlist for best performance of a comic book character imo.
@woooudo Batman Forever was an OK movie. It was Batman & Robin that really sucked.
Feminists would have field day.
The Dark Knight is probably considered the best Batman movie for some, but Batman Returns will always be my favorite.
The best, hands down. The puuurfect mix of dark and cartoonish.
Neither is my personal fave, but I respect the artistic contributions both aforementioned films made.
The Dark Knight is good but is it that great Heavens NO.I just can't stand Christian Bales Bat voice it's very annoying and pathetic if you ask me.
The dark knight is not even Nolan’s best Batman
@@bobbyfagan7760That's Begins no doubt.
Pfeiffer is the definitive Catwoman. Forever. (When I make it to the Pearly Gates, I will still want her to be Catwoman.) I became a fan of hers after this performance. (She's always excellent.) She looks amazing as Selina Kyle and Catwoman. Iconic.
Batman Returns, T2, and Jurassic Park were in constant rotation in my VCR throughout the 90's.
Same
You had a great childhood
Lmao. Me too!!! 90s was awesome 👍😎
She nailed the whip scene in one take?! I had to look it up, there's a video! You can tell she was impressed with herself. As she should be!
Batman Returns is my favorite Batman movie of all time and I love the darker tone this movie has. The music by Danny Elfman is amazing. Tim Burton has done an amazing job with the sequel. It still holds up after 30 years.
I'd say the only thing that "bothers" me is that they use the same "block" of a set for the whole movie... Even the rooftop scenes, they just move the buildings around....
@@alejandromolinac Yeah, but it's a beautiful set.
Definitely my favourite Batman and Tim Burton movie.
I still want a sequel to Batman Returns. The reason for the change in franchise being that the movie was “too dark” is disappointing especially given where the franchise would go. Still, could be worse. My nose could be gushing blood…
Tim Burton had the idea for a 3rd but the studio was like Tim don't want to do something else and he said y'all don't want me for a 3rd movie so he just stopped there it sucks
Maybe with Keaton back eventually we can get a weirder "third movie" someday.
@@Yikes702 Tim Burton and Keaton in a Batman Beyond film.
There is the Batman '89 comic book co written by Sam Hamm, though I find it hard to believe that this was his plan all along for a third film.
Wait for the Flash movie that's pretty much the sequel lol.
This still stands out as the best Batman film for me. I wish the 3rd movie was made 💔
The 80's addicted us to Trilogy's. Some of the more memorable movies of that era were stand alone movies with moxie and panache.
How do you figure? Because I'd argue Batman was a 90s franchise. And other than Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Back to the Future, what other great trilogies were there? It seems like most franchises in the 80s didn't know when to quit?
They made the 3rd movie into a comic called Batman '89 (by Sam Hamm). You can get it as a hardcover, that collects the whole series :)
The new Flash movie for me, a serious fan of Batman 1989 and Batman Returns, I can honestly say that I now feel as if we do actually have a trilogy with Micheal Keaton as Batman!!!
My favourite Batman movie. Love the Christmas setting and the villains. And the fact that it still looks great 30 years later is impressive.
My favorite as well!!!
Mine too
Michelle Pfeiffer was just amazing as both Selina and Catwoman. I love the scene on the dancefloor where they just reveal everything. And that scene had a great music choice to go with it.
And her apartment sign that says Hello There, changing to Hell Here. Genius!
@@eduardo_corrochio I don't know about you, Miss Kitty, but I feel so much....yummier.
@@13blackcatzzz How bout a kiss anti-claws
@@13blackcatzzz :)
The 'Maxuerade' ball scene to Souxise & The Banshees is just incredible.
This is an arthouse psychological horror masquerading as a blockbuster and there's literally nothing quite like it.
Agree 100%. It has more in common with german expressionism than current DC/Marvel fare, and we are all the better off because of it.
Very well put.
Bat Venom! That was a stellar explanation.
An absolute gorgeous film. Stunning in every way possible. A personal favorite.
Magnificent! Only Burton could've made this gothic gem.
"A kiss can be even deadlier if you mean it". Best Catwoman ever, best Penguin ever, and a great Siouxsie song. If I'm being honest, I get misty when the penguins lift up Penguin for their little penguin mass. Good as Dark Knight.
Yeah that part was sad af though, let’s you know they was his family
This is one of those rare sequels that outdo the original.
It was a spectacularly weird film and DeVito and Pfeiffer just steal the entire movie and not even Batman can stop them.
I love this movie to bits. Must watch it again.
I think the first one is so much better. But it's great that this movie has a following. It's absolutely unique, I just find the first one better.
I clearly have to watch them both again.
It should be noted that the original seems to be recognized as the better one, but actually Batman Returns has a higher critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. I agree that Returns is better than the original. It has more intrigue than the more simple Batman, it has some great humor, and the dark tone makes it special.
Absolutely agree! The passion that went into this couldn't be more obvious and displayed in all it's glory
Although Danny Elfman's Batman march is used for the intro of the animated series, Shirley Walker wrote its score.
My love is endless for this film- they perfectly married the camp of 60s batman with the dark tone of the actual comic. Pfeiffer is a complete powerhouse- she plays so many emotions believably at once, has such gravitas, vulnerability and with such hilarious timing all at once. OK, I'm stepping away from the key board. Thanks for covering this JoBlo.
I can only imagine how awesome a third Tim Burton movie would've been, maybe in an alternate universe there is one
Still my FavoritBatman-Movie. Saw it 12years-old in the Cinema and defined my Love for Batman forever. Danny deVito had the Time of his Life in the Penguin-Role and Michelle Pfeiffer's Performance is for Ages. She will be Catwoman ... always
Danny Elfman only wrote the opening theme for the animated series. Shirley Walker was the composer for the animated series (as well as the Superman animated series).
Thank you, it's amazing how little fact checking was done here.
Shirley Walker's main batman theme is awesome, I prefer it to Elfman's.
Animated series intro isn’t Elfman’s movie march. It’s similar but not the same.
I remember seeing this when I was 22...I am 52 now. Lol. I got home and my mom asked me what I thought. I said, "It was sad, weird and depressing. I loved it." No one ever catches the scene when Michael Keaton walks into Schreck's costume ball and the band is playing Rick James's "Superfreak" as they zoom in on him. Nice touch. Haha
Wow that's crazy 1992 was not that long ago but you aged alot big age gap
It's not perfect but it's still great. Visually stunning, darkly funny, scary sexy, and bittersweet. If only Burton and Keaton got to do a third movie! I really hope they do a "Batman Beyond"-style movie now that Keaton is willing to play the character again.
The name Max Shreck
is a nod to another famous Bat, Nosferatu. The name of the actor in the make up is Max Schreck just spelled with Sch.
And notice how Max Schreck is sucking power from Gotham city. His office has plush, padded walls that resemble the interior of a coffin. There are even screw-like pillars in his office.
Another amazing experience... I treated my friends at Merrill Lynch to the premiere. Two of the girls in Penguin's gang were friends I did videos with, one of whom showed them to Danny DeVito while he was putting on make-up. A stuntman/martial artist I know taught Ms. Pfeiffer the bullwhip (he was blown away) and another partner worked on the set shooting footage for a Batman ride. We put together a behind the scenes video that Warner Bros confiscated from us. Good times.
What a fantasy world you live in, you freak..
This is my favorite Batman movie... absolutely loved the darker tone of this movie...even as a kid I was grossed out by the penguin but it felt right as he was a villain...and don't even get me started on how much I loved Michelle Pfeiffer lol..9-10 year old me was just in awe of her... probably my first actress crush😁
Right there with ya. 10 year old me fell in love in that there movie theater. 😂
I remember seeing this at the drive in when it came out, now it's a movie I watch every Christmas. Also the whole McDonald's fiasco was BS, did they even watch the 1st film? what about that film says "hey, we can make happy meals out of this!". Another funny thing about this film is the Tim Burton being scared of Sean Young dressed as catwoman thing 😆
But a drive in? How cool is that? 😎
@@isaidwhatIsaid86 hell, I even remember seeing Terminator 2 at the drive-in back then too. Both were a good experience.
Oh, that's awesome making it a Christmas perennial! Holy Holidays, Batman! I am so copying that, starting this December-- gonna include this movie with Die Hard and Home Alone. :)
@@eduardo_corrochio Batman Returns, Gremlins, Scrooged, Die Hard and Krampus are my usual Christmas movies to watch during the season.
@@patrickcharles6983 Those are all fun. Die Hard has been ours at Christmas for a while too. And every couple of years we watch Home Alone, and A Christmas Story. Nostalgia.
Another brilliant mash-up of Halloween and Christmas by Tim Burton.
I love the tragic fairytale vibe. Both Penguin and Catwoman are very relatable. We can understand why they are how they are. Masking pain with outlandish criminal behavior compared to Bruce who masks his pain with an outlandish battle against criminal behavior. Easily the best live-action Batman film of all time.
The costume from Returns is my favorite from any live-action iteration of Batman. It is so cool.
I remember seeing this with my mom and friends then actually getting the McDonald's Batman Happy Meals. Boy, do I love the craziness of this movie. Catwoman was hot, Penguin was awesome, and the Penguin army scene was my favorite.
Devito also had a Penguin moment in Always Sunny. In the episode where his estranged son shows up. He has a weird little rant towards the end that's reminiscent of Penguin and the Penguin music even plays lightly underneath while he gives it. Check it out.
Michelle will always be my favorite version of Catwomen, she freakin killed it and took the character to a whole new level, Danny as Penguin was great too, but i just fell in love with her perfomance.
Love how Michael Keaton is becoming the main Batman in the DCEU with Pattinson's Batman kind of having just his own small part of the multiverse. Keaton will make a great mentor to the other superheroes.
I still don't like Pattinson being Batman
Let's hope Keaton's Batman get the proper conclusion to a awesome job everyone else would die to he apart of.
Batman Returns was the first Batman movie I ever saw. I really enjoyed that movie and wish Tim Burton would have made more. I also don't know if it's because I saw Returns before I saw the 89 original or what, but I always liked Returns better and will still put Returns in my top 2 favorites Batman movies. Only slightly edged out by Mask of the Phantasm.
I saw returns before 89 and forever before 89 lol
Mines was “Batman and Robin”
One of my all time favorite Christmas flicks
I've read the original script for this movie, and while some characters were underdeveloped, I liked it and think it would have made a better movie than what we got. The only similarities are Penguin and Catwoman being villains, Christmas setting, the plot point of Batman being framed for murder, and the moment Batman's cape turns into a glider. Everything else was different with the plot being Penguin and Catwoman looking for treasure, Batman is the focus instead of Penguin, Vicki Vale returns, Robin appears, Commissioner Gordon has a larger role, Harvey Bullock appears but is called Eddie, the final battle is in both Wayne Manor and the Batcave, and Bruce proposes to Vicki at the end
My personal favorite Batman movie of all time... Sorry Nolan.
Not only my favorite Batman movie, period, but also one of my favourite movies of all time!
A truly amazing movie! I do like this one more than '89 because it is so bizarre and out of control. Great work as always Joblo!!
I love the dark & gritty nature, that what makes it special. The entire atmosphere and gothic tone was brilliant.
It's my all-time favourite Batman film. A 3rd Tim Burton Batman would have been amazing!
Favorite Batman film and Batman score. And yeah its a weird film. I don't mind the Nolan films especially the first 2. I just prefer Burton's vision more.
Me too.
I agree with you and now that there's a new Batman movie maybe we can reevalute Nolan trilogy and see what's missing there because after 9/11 movies did become about terrorism.
The section where the Penguin's rough childhood was juxtaposed with Batman's nurturing upbringing reminded me of another movie. The movie Twins also touched on the same subject. In that movie, Danny DeVito also played the unfortunate child. While Arnold Schwarzenegger played the nurtured son.
My absolute favorite Batman movie. I was obsessed and played the video game based on this movie too. It was so damn difficult but fun.
I just found this channel and it has some amazing videos. But I can't believe you do not have a video on Flight of the Navigator.. yet.
Michelle Pfeiffer had such an interesting run, combining proper cult movies (Scarface, Ladyhawke, Batman Returns) with fresh comedies (Married To The Mob, Into The Night, Fabulous Baker Boys. I had (have?) the biggest crush on her, and always hoped for bigger things. Even though beforehand I knew she was in it, the moment she pops up in Ant-Man & The Wasp I just... felt it.
I remember as a 7-year-old pouring over a Batman Returns magazine about the making of the movie back in mid '92. Looking at the production photos and absorbing the images I remember it had an affect on me. The art style looked dark, edgy (before I even understood the word), strangely appealing, very Tim Burton, and I liked it. A lot.
Still my favorite Batman movie of all time and I don’t think another Batman movie can ever take it’s place.
When Divito bites that guys nose......scared for life at 8 years old.
Before the Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, this was my favorite Batman film. I typically watch it during Christmas time, so I guess it's my Christmas movie. The 4K disc is pretty great too.
Bob Hoskins, Alan Rickman, Bill Murray, Phil Collins, Jeff Goldblum, Rowan Atkinson, Dudley Moore, Marlon Brando, John Candy, Ralph Waite, Dean Martin, John Goodman, Christopher Lee, Charles Grodin, Dustin Hoffman, Martin Sheen, Robert DeNiro, Ray Liotta, Gabriel Byrne, Alex Rocco, and Dennis Hopper were considered for Penguin.
I always saw Goldblum as The Riddler or the Scarecrow. I hope one day he can jump to DC as a villain.
I recently saw a video about a bts scene of Catwoman where she takes off the heads of mannequin and then start jump roping and then gets applause from the whole crew
Michelle Pfeiffer will remain an all time favorite for me
In my opinion, Batman and Batman Returns are the best Batman films
Micheal Keaton is the best Batman in my opinion
Yes he is. I can't wait until Nov 4th
One of my favorite Batman movies I love it but as always the parents had to mess it up for us 🙄
Thanks for the video I didn't think it was too bad I even had some of those happy meal( thanks for making me feel old). Though being older the one thing that I think hurts this movie is the with the penguin one moment he's a victim of circumstance the next he's a bad guy with a nefarious plan.
that intro just skipped over Val and George hahaha nice touch
i would love to see Micheal and Michelle reprise their roles in a film now that Micheal is The Batman again in The Flash: Flashpoint and Batgirl.
Baby Penguin gets tossed in water by his parents
Parents in 1992: “ThAts tOO dARk!!”
Judge Frollo tries to drown Baby Quasimodo and murders entire village
Parents in 1996: “Meh, seems fine”
"...penguins are just animals, and weren't able to do much outside of MARCH."
I see what you did there.
I got to see one of the Catwoman suits at the Mall of the Americas in New Orleans when I was in highschool. The one I saw was just a rubber suit for the action scenes. The ones with all the stiches and details were for the closeups the card beside it said but Michelle Pfeiffer had actually been in it. I was really surprised how tiny she was in real life. 🦇
This is by far my Favorite Batman movie. I loved this movie so much as a kid (I was 9 when it came out) that I bought the novelization of it! (The exact one you showed on screen. Kind of wish I'd kept it.) Pfeiffer is my number 2 all time favorite Catwoman, only being inched out slightly by my love for Eartha Kitt. 😍
Waiting for Batman Forever now 😍
Due to the very stylized sets these Batman movies used, I have found it super easy to spot a Tim Burton movie.
Love you pointing out Doug Jones in a very early acting credit as the Thin Clown in Penguin’s gang. KUDOS!!
The guy who played Blade in the 87 He Man movie taught her the whip moves.
The poster of this movie is super iconic
Brilliant Film!! Loved how Tim Burton was scared of Christopher Walken! A few years later, hired him to play a scary villain in Sleepy Hollow!!!
I think the Dark Knight is undeniably the best Batman film, but Batman Returns is definitely my favourite. It's a dark, gothic, tragic masterpiece. Beautiful visuals, beautiful characters, and an absolutely PHENOMENAL score by Danny Elfman. I will defend this movie till the day I die
This was and still is my favorite Batman
This is my all time favorite Batman movie...In my mind this is the definitive look of Gotham city. My one wish is, that one day a new Batman movie will return too this style of Gotham
I love the batsuit design in Batman Returns
I like both Batman films that Michael Keaton did,and yes it was darker but had great soundtrack,acting,and the sets were amazing.
Batman Returns is the BEST Batman movie ever! I remember listening to the Top 40 countdown, and they were saying how Madonna and Cher were wanting the role of Catwoman. Michelle Pfeiffer did a great job as Catwoman. She and Julie Newmar are my favorite live action Catwoman. Thank you for doing this video.
The Burton movies are great! The Nolan movies are great! After having seen it a few time in the theaters now, I have to say that Matt Reeve's movie is also great! They are all vastly different, but they all have something to offer hardcore fans of the character.
Lots of kids movies through out the 80's were weird and dark..... I think the "outrage" was just blown out of proportions for TV Ratings.....
When I first saw it I thought it was just ok my main complaint was not enough Batman, now as an adult I can appreciate it more as it clearly has Tim Burton's weird influence more than the first one, I laughed at the bit of Burton being afraid of Christopher Walken this was when Walken was entering that oddball phase. Danny Elfman's music is again fantastic with the music of the penguins slowly dunking Penguin into the water being a favorite.
Henchman: Killing sleeping children? Isn't that a little.....
BANG!!!!
Penguin: No. It's a lot!
when you did the face morphs in the intro, the superman one should have ended with the CGI beard cover!
I remember when this was coming out and we were all freaking out over the fact the film would feature TWO villains
Nobody was freaking out.
Well I "Sir-innly" like Tim "Bur-inn" films as well. Especially the ones with Michael "Key-Inn!"
Love this movie, since I first saw it on VHS. I recently re-watched this and 'Forever (which I have fond childhood memories of). Couldn't believe how bad Forever is, when compared to this masterpiece.
This was the fiery movie I ever saw in the theater. I was 7.
I’ve always loved Batman and am so grateful this movie spawned the animated series as it became a large part of my childhood as well (and likewise for my 3 little brothers).
I'll never get the issue people have with Alfred bringing Vicki Vale into the Batcave to see Bruce. Alfred already liked her and wanted more for Bruce than his commitment to being Batman for the rest of his days. Enough clues were already there for Vicki to suspect something was off about Bruce before the Joker and crew showed up at her apartment. Finally, Bruce was smart enough to prepare for getting shot by the Joker in Vicki's apartment and then he antagonized the Joker into doing it, then Bruce just disappears before she comes back. Vicki has all the clues/info as well as the tray with the stopped bullet to show Alfred. If Vicki just shows up at Wayne Manor and says "I know Bruce is Batman, let me see him" I see no reason why Alfred wouldn't.
Another curiosity is that those squarish cars all around the sets are VW Fox GLs imported from Brazil for the American market that time.
Annette Bening, Madonna, Cher, Lena Olin, Jennifer Beals, Susan Sarandon, Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman, Melanie Griffith, Reba MacIntire, Brooke Shields, Geena Davis, Jodie Foster, Madeline Stowe, Raquel Welch, Sigourney Weaver, Robin Wright Penn, and Julia Roberts were considered for Catwoman.
Great retrospective.
Great video! Can't wait for the Batman Forever Revisited! :)
I love this movie, thank you very much Joblo 🏆🥇🎖👏👑😁😊👍🏅🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆🤗
Thanks for reminding me of face to face just added it to my Spotify list

Doug Jones also plays "Saru" in Star Trek Discovery
A classic. Nuff said.
Fantasy films of this caliber envelop me in the rich and stunning production design, sets, costumes, score ... when I should be following the story and dialogue. I'm not a comic book person (much more a fan of humor strips like Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side), but Burton's cinematic visions were so wondrous strange that they enthralled me no end. Still do. Dark and twisted as this movie is, I am very fond of it. It's right up my alley-- somewhere near Wacky Street and Macabre Avenue, lol.
One time I heard that Michelle Pfeiffer is actually not the figure we are shown who is looking up at the night sky in the movie's climax, with her back to us; a body double was supposedly used.
I liked the campy television show (with its silly yet often stalwart tone, inside jokes, odd cameo appearances, corny-as-heck setting and character names, and its vivid colors) ... because as a kid it was a staple rerun on weekday afternoons; when homework was done, it was time for something like Batman, The Brady Bunch, Lost in Space, or I Dream of Jeannie (this was even before cable TV came on the scene).
Man, Tim Burton's stuff from the 80s and 90s is so fun and good. He really made a strong mark on pop culture and entertainment. I might not like all of it but I'm over for the moon for things like Beetlejuice, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, The Nightmare Before Christmas, the Batman films, and Ed Wood.
Thanks for making this video. It's the cat's meow. 🐾
Mentioning Paul Reubens without mentioning Diane Salinger is a major oversight, because it was a re-teaming of the pair - Salinger played Simone opposite Reubens in “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure”.
Damn can’t believe this is already 30 years old. I remember when this first came out.
I was 6 when this came out and i remember playing with my die cast batman car while watching this movie on vhs. When catwoman did the taser thing, i was so grossed out and confused... No wonder they said it wasn't kid friendly.
So one character did reprise their role recently Paul Reuben starred as penguin's father in the show Gotham which is the exact same character I don't know if they were suggesting a link to universes but I'm pretty sure that counts as a recurring character
Danny DeVito recently wrote a DC official Batman story where Penguin and Catwoman are in love and go on a crime spree.
One of my wife’s and mine all time favorite ‘Christmas movies’ that we watch every season.
The other two are, of course, The Nightmare before Christmas, and Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather
Doug Jones also plays Saru on Star Trek Discovery
Max Schreck was the name of the actor who played Nosferato in the original silent film
