Returns or 89?

[kooguy911]

Which do you prefer? Evereyone is always saying how they either love BB, returns, or 89. However, since BB is the most recent, bb usually wins poles like this by a landslide. So im taking out BB. Which is better?

BR is great movie but Batman 89 was much better as a story wise.

 

[Bat Attack]

Batman Returns

 

[Soundwave88]

Batman 89 is way darker n gothic then BR

 

[nite-owl]

Batman Returns

I just think Returns is the greatest film ever, let alone Batman film, but that's me.

 

[El Payaso]

Batman 89

Returns... not that I necessarily think it is better than 89, but I find it a bit easier to sit through these days.

89. Returns was a little perverse lol whoa there Penguin.

I'd have to say Batman '89. It really captures the gritty, dark feel of THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, which I love. BATMAN RETURNS is more like a creepy gothic fairy tale. I like it, but in my mind it didn't quite capture what Batman was meant to be, like '89 did.

Of course, Catwoman is much, much more interesting then Vicki Vale, LOLOL.

B89 for...really quite a few reasons.

Firstly, that was the movie that got me hooked on Batman, that's the movie I watched more than anything else as a child, etc., etc., so that automatically gives it a bit of a leg up.

But beyond that, I also felt it was a lot closer to - not exactly the comics - but the feel of Batman (as ashtonu mentioned - it did really feel a lot like DKR).

I preferred the art direction and the original vision for Gotham a lot more than Returns, and it also wasn't as dark, as, simply put, freaky as Returns. Returns is a good movie to be sure - I enjoy it - but it does get pretty weird at times, whereas B89 isn't tarnished by that...weirdness.

Batman Returns was great. But I watched it and got the distinct impression that Burton was already losing interest in Batman by then. He focused more on Catwoman (awesome!) and Penguin (eww.) got most of the spotlight.

Batman 89 was a more consistent and solid visualization of Batman and his world.

So Batman 89 for me.

Batman 89....Better villian...Better action scenes....Better Score

Batman 89. The Joker was awesome it focused more on Batman and it had a better story.

 

[Silver Sable]

Returns

 

[batmaluco]

Batman 89.
But I love both.

 

[Ceb-Man]

I like both of these movies. Before Batman Begins came out, I really liked both of these a lot better than the Shumacher films. They both nailed " the dark" aspect of Batman.
I have to say though, because of so many good memories of 1989 and Batmania was running wild, Batman 89 is my favorate.

Batman Returns is my favorite Batman movie, as well as one of my Top 10 faves of all time.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Returns is better overall, but 89 has a better portrayal of Batman, and a more triumphant, heroic ending. Hmmmm.....

 

[Malone]

I liked Batman 89 better. I think that it was just more exciting.

 

[Two-Face]

Is also that it's Batman's arch-enemy as well.

 

[union_jak]

You have to give Returns credit for making the Penguin interesting. Michelle Pfeiffer gave one of cinema's most memorable and greatest performances in film as Catwoman.
Yes Commissioner Gordon had less to do, but Alfred did more.

I think if Christopher Walken played Rupert Thorne or Harvey Dent as apposed to Max Shreck it could have only improved it.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Returns is just so good; it improves on Batman in almost every way. The villains are deeper, the action is much better, it's more exciting. As a German-expressionism nightmare and a comicbook spectacle it works in every way.

89!

i HATE style over substance in every way, Returns was a horrificly scripted, terrible visuals (Burton i hate you), german expressism or whatever is NOT Batman, B89 visually totally fit Batman.

Returns sucked majorly.
