The Official Batman Returns Thread - Part 2

[El Payaso]

Plus the part when he shakes Schreck's hand with it is just gold :heh:

Oh man. Yes.

 

[AnneFan]

Really? I found it to be a perfect example of dark dark humour. And it was also a way to tell Schreck: You can't hide from the consequences of your actions, even if you chop someone up to pieces, his body parts are going to crawl after you.

Exactly. I've always liked the scene.

 

[Two-Face]

I guess I'm only one don't like that. I like when Batman sends a note to Penguin one of my favourite scenes in the movie. "Dear Penguin, children regret that they unable to attend. Batman" nice touch with Batlogo at the end.

I personally like to imagine Batman writing the note.
Just image Batman pulling out the Bat-stationary and a pen out of his utility belt, finding a surface to bear down on, and writing the note, perhaps reading it aloud to himself while writing it down. Hilarious, isn't it?

 

[Ponyboy]

I find it more funny that he took the time to draw a Bat symbol on it, then ink the whole thing. That must've taken like... at least a minute...

I think it was just printed on the paper, or maybe he uses a stamp.

 

[Mister Meddle]

Yeah he didn't draw it. He probably keeps a notebook in his car with each sheet containing the Batsymbol on the bottom for his signature.

 

[Ponyboy]

Yeah he didn't draw it.

have you seen it on bluray? Looks like an "inked" bat to me... lol... though they probably meant for it to be a stamp... which is even funnier I guess that he had a rubber stamp with a Bat on it. t:

I think it'd be hilarious if he kept it in the utility belt, perhaps with a pen in one of the "cylinders".

It's an homage to the Golden Age, when Batman would leave notes to the police signed with the bat-symbol.

I think he just has those custom notes like he has in the comics which he always pins to the tied goons

Do you think Batman orders them from someone? That might be funny.
Mysterious Customer: "I need a notepad with Bat-symbols printed on each sheet."
Salesman:"We can do that. And where would you like that delivered?"
Mysterious Customer:"Um..I'll just pick them up."

Uhh... delivered? Uhh well uh... certainly not Wayne Manor... Not that you're speaking to Bruce Wayne... this is uh... someone else. *click*

Yeah. As your blog says: "Batman used notes signed marked with his logo throughout his entire history. (Panels below from Detective Comics #28 and Batman # 368). Bob Kane wrote the note himself."

I was thinking last night that Batman must keep anyone who sees the Bat-signal reflectors on his house a prisoner in the cave for the rest of their lives.

 

[Young Superman]

this film had the best live action batsuit ever. and the tim burton batmobile is way cooler then the tumbler.

Poor bastards.

I love both the Burton Batmobile and the Tumbler equally. They're both cool in their own right.

 

[Cain]

The Tumbler is for the more hard terrain based missions and stuff. It's a portable tank ha ha.

In the context of TDKR (the comic not the movie) it works because a lot of Gotham is a post-apocalyptic ****hole. Not as sleek as the streets in the Burton movies. In the movie though ironically it makes Batman look like too much of a law man. Like if he works for a division of the feds or something and that's the standard issue partrol car lol

Doesn't really have that "Batman" identity to it. I'd use the Burton Batmobile for patrolling Gotham itself cause it's more iconic looking. Even back when it was new it was instantly timeless and very defining of the character. The tumbler I'd use for more dynamic stuff.

Chances are if I was Batman and really wanted to catch someone anyway I'd do it without needing a car. So I don't need all of the tumbler's practicalities within Gotham. Just a car that could let people know that I'm around by land and not just air is more than enough.

 

[El Payaso]

Whoa, I didn't know that!!!

 

[Papa G]

I loved that note...Batman did similar stuff in the comics and animated series. I watched this and B89 a few weeks ago, and I realized that BR is the better film in my opinion. Someone here described B89 as "by the numbers", and it really is pretty standard compared to how unique BR is. I used to prefer '89, but now the Joker isn't special compared to Hamill or Ledger for me, and BR is just darker thematically and more aesthetically pleasing. Plus I like that Batman is a bit older in this film, and a lot of aspects of the character are solid. He seems more vulnerable here, but he also is more intimidating. One part I love is when he's walking through the streets taking down the Red Triangle Gang-anyone who played Arkham City will appreciate the remote controlled batarang.

 

[Mister Meddle]

A number of the accessories came from the movies. The cape & detective mode = The Dark Knight. Remote controlled Batarang & the line launcher = Batman Returns. Even the grappling gun looks just like the one that was used in the first Batman movie.

Interesting. I think I should watch this film again.

Actually, the glider cape appeared in Batman Begins, and Batman had a zipline in Batman, which he uses to rescue Vicki Vale in the museum scene.

 

[Lead Cenobite]

The idea of the cape itself turning into a glider probably originated with Batman Returns.

 

[El Payaso]

I think, yes. I only remember bat-glider as a different thiung from the cape. But in movies it first appeared in BR.

Yeah I know. I just named TDK and Returns instead of having to name all four films.

Yeah. I was always under the impression that Christopher Nolan got the idea of the cape glider from Batman Returns. Just like the suit and the grappling gun.
