I'd like to. My disc drive is not working at the moment so I'm currently unable to take screencaps, but as soon as it's up and working I will add my own pics. I must say though that Homer always does a brilliant job of finding exactly the right screencap to represent a particular scene.
There's a website for screencaps of every Batman film.
Here's the link:

That is a dead ringer. Is the characterization at all like DeVito's version or is it purely a visual thing?
Have you checked out the Batman 89 one as well?, thats just as goodOnly recently discovered this hidden gem in the Batman forums. I'll (like many) be watching closely, keep up the good work guys!
I saw when it got started but shortly after I took a break from coming on here and only recently have I jumped back into the posting thing. I'll definitely have to go back and check out that thread. Thanks for the reminderHave you checked out the Batman 89 one as well?, thats just as good
I'm writing about Batman Returns from a different perspective on another forum: http://corrierino.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=366915#p366915
My friend was gonna write about it, but lost interest in the thread, and I just didn't wanna see it go to waste, so...
Will doExcellent stuff Smalley. You touch upon a lot of the themes within Batman Returns I find interesting.
Any chance you could start a new thread in the Misc. Batman Films section of Superhero Hype so that we could comment on and discuss your analysis in the same way people have done with Homer and my own comments?
As to the issue of whether Batman kills, this is one of those rare instances where I take a contrary view to Homer. It seems clear to me that Batman did directly precipitate The Joker's death, and whilst it is arguable that he was simply acting in defence whilst dispatching the bell-tower goons, the same justification can't really be made for the similar treatment he metes out to their 'colleagues' at the obliterated Axis Chemicals, or the henchmen he machine guns at The Joker's deadly balloon parade. Likewise, the Red Triangle Circus clowns he gleefully steers into a blazing storefront before casually setting the very 'pyromaniac' fire-eater responsible for the said conflagration alight. As with the way Batman later (controversially) dispenses of a bomb-strapped 'Strong Man', we see no bloodshed or body, and certainly in the case of the former felons, Batman's punishment does not necessarily entail death, yet there can be little doubt that this is a Dark Knight who is not above serving the ultimate form of justice to his enemies with little evident angst; and whilst some purists may blanch at the conceit, is 'Batman the killer' really at odds with Burton's expressionistic, psychologically complex, and intentionally ambiguous reading of this deeply disturbed character?
We don't disagree all that much here, though.
