Batman & Robin is still little less than the toy commercial they set out to make.
Returns is definitely an upgrade to its predecessor. I'll go even as far as saying it's probably the best superhero sequel of the 2oth century.
Superman II is the best superhero sequel of the last century. And you shouldn't laugh at
Zod, he's pretty threatening and serious.
Batman Returns has a very rushed and superficial romance compared to the first, that is for starters.
Penguin lives in the sewers that are part of the Zoo river and has a lot of access to henchmen, technology, knowledge of all kinds, tape, toxic waste, etc etc....
Having the batmobile schematics makes zero sense, and
Batman punching through the reinforced bottom breaking it makes even less sense.
Why did
Gordon decide to flash the signal instead of calling more cops early in the movie? And how does
Batman know where to go?
Penguin's move by remote control?
Waterproof technology, and a giant duck elevator that goes up and fully appears out of a small manhole.
Max Schreck telling his son that he tossed
Selina out of the window to call her is ridiculous and unnecessary.
Chip Schreck is almost completely useless and superfluous.
Catwoman's origin is sooooo dumb, even before inspiring that trash
Catwoman movie from 2004.
Why did Batman stare at one victim for long while he was saving civilians and property?
Bulletproof vest can be pierced by that small cheap custom added claw.
All those effing umbrellas and the gadgets they contain, and they are owned by some vagrant in the sewers.
And more.
