Well it's that time of year again, christmas time for me always means a blu-ray viewing of BR to satisfy my holiday needs.

regwec · 12-21-2012, 06:39 PM

I back it up with Groundhog Day, Trading Places, Christopher Lee reading M.R. James' ghost stories and, weirdly, Cliffhanger.

I'm watching BR currently, and I caught something I never noticed before; the portrait of Max and Chip that's hanging in his office...

It's hilarious.

DaRkVeNgeanCe · 12-26-2012, 04:37 PM

I remember noticing that as a kid watching it at home on vhs. There are still things to this day though that I notice that I never had before when I watch 89 or BR.

Jeff Dunham owns and drives a Keaton Batmobile.

The puppeteer guy? How did he manage to get his hands on that?

Dave McFly · 12-26-2012, 08:06 PM

he has a lot of money?

DaRkVeNgeanCe · 12-26-2012, 08:41 PM

Ya he was part of the batmobile documentary that came on the extras for the Rises Blu-ray.

TruerToTheCore · 12-27-2012, 07:14 AM

It's scary to think that Chip Shrek is Zangief.

On the same wall theres also a pic of Shreck and Arnold Schwarzenegger together

Which was totally foreshadowing Mr. Freeze.

and that GIF is one of my favorite scenes.

IIRC, wasn't 2012 also the big 20 for Returns...time certainly flies.

The colour saturation in that picture makes Bob Kane look like he fell asleep in a spaghetti Bolegnese.

great pic though, never seen it before

Young Superman · 01-26-2013, 10:24 PM

Batman Reterns had the best Bat-Suit and Batmobile in live action.

Ponyboy · 02-22-2013, 02:52 AM

Blitzkrieg Bop · 02-22-2013, 09:44 AM

I think I prefer this suit to the first. It screams Batman, especially in any shot over his shoulder.

Awesome find

Y'know, I was just thinking about it and I realized that I have very similar feelings about both TDKR and Returns. That is, both films I think are improvements over their predecessors in just about every way but the story.

But while I thought the story in both BB and TDK was amazing and thus TDKR left me disappointed, I never cared for the story in '89 too much and so Returns is my favorite of the Burton films.

CConn · 03-01-2013, 08:31 AM

That'skkinda strange, as I'd say the stories on both BR and TDKR are far more ambitious than their predecessors.

If anything makes Batman and TDK superior, it would be their character work more than their stories, IMO.

You're right about this. But just like jumping from rooftops is ambitious, it doesn't always mean you're gonna have a soft landing

Yes for '89. The character work in TDK is superb, don't get me wrong (the best in ANY Batman film, I think) but the plot is also just as superb, I think. Whereas in '89 the story is serviceable, but it feels more like an excuse to get the various characters interacting with each other.
