The Official Batman Returns Thread - Part 2

[mikey1974]

well said Blitzkreig!

like i said before,that last scene with Bruce/Batman and Selina/Catwoman i always felt was Bruce's last chance attempt to full move out of the darkness,and into the world of JUST Bruce Wayne....hell,he apparently doesn't even care if anyone knows he's Batman at that point,ripping off his mask in full view of anyone who happened to be around,cause he wanted Selina to be with HIM,not with Batman,to show her there is humanity,and love,beneath the mask....

i mean,what,did he think Shreck wouldn't say anything if they took him to jail?! in it's own way this could be reckless,as Bruce and Selina's lives would be a veritable hell after Max opened his mouth, but Bruce didn't care at that point...he wanted Selina,and was willing to destroy Batman for good in the process,if necessary....

unfortunately for Bruce,Selina rejected him in the end,and with Max dead,and the last chance for a normal life gone,i was back to patrolling Gotham's street and shadows...

Only thing what was Batman going to bring Shreck in for? Shreck's power surplus plot? That's pretty much the only evidence he can bring him in jail for. He has no proof of the attempted murder of Selina or with Shreck being in cahoots with Penguin.

I love that the movie ends with Bruce out of the costume. I see it meaning that Selina was the only person who could break through all the barriers Bruce had.

It's funny, (even though we don't see power going out in the film - due to Selina using the generator on Max) in the novelisation it reads "Gordon frowned. They had almost lost power in all of Gotham City. Could Max have been right about his power plant scheme?"

^ I always hated what they did to Keaton in those posters. His face was so airbrushed you almost couldn't even tell it was him.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Isn't Keaton's face ''photoshopped'' onto his stunt actors body in these pics/posters?

 

[DARKxGOTHAMITE]

^indeed. i was just about to make that same point. but the one pony boy posted...his mouth isnt even in alignment with the position of his head...ugh

I remember that was the poster that used to be on the buses and subway stations in the spring of '92 when the hype began for the movie. I always thought the Batman poster was all a painting and not a pic of the actual live costume because that's what it looked like down to the lighting on the suit. Nothing about it looked "live" to me unlike the DeVito Penguin poster from that same ad campaign which was clearly a shot of Danny D himself in make up.

Seeing that Penguin poster on the subway walls is actually when I first found out that the movie really existed at that point. The comics letters pages vaguely mentioned the production but never really any concrete info on the movie so I had no clue it was coming out that soon. Later that day I went ape **** when I saw Pfeiffer's Catwoman on the side of a bus and the teaser trailer on E's Coming Attractions show. Good times.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Yeah Danny and Michelle's posters looked real... even if they were a little touched up.

Keaton's was like a painting.

haha yeah... really looks rubbish.

I actually really like that poster, as a designer looks fine to me.

 

[Marx]

I always liked that poster as well.

Me too. Though I didn't know (and wish I didn't) that Keaton's head was photoshopped on his stunt double's body for the poster. Really wish I didn't know that. Poster's still cool anyway.

 

[Cain]

Don't get me wrong I do like that poster too. I remembered the date JUNE 19 for the longest because of that poster as well as the others in that ad campaign lol but it wasn't till now that I realized that it wasn't a painting though. It really never looked like a promo photograph to me at all. While the ones for DeVito and Pfeiffer clearly did.

 

[mikey1974]

yeah,personally, i always thought the Batman on was a painting too...

I'm just saying that the "Keaton mouth" area looks rubbish, not the poster as a whole.

If you can still pull it off outside the catsuit... then you know you've got something.
