[The Joker]

Ha, yeah, they were there. Then it had random placements of Batman, Catwoman and Penguin.

Nostalgia overload.

If you guys happen to search on Youtube Kevin Smith's commentary it is hilarious, it's broken up in 14 segments but there is lots of unique tidbits that most of us probably know and Kevin gives his insights on the whole backstory even mentioning the controversy surrounding the film with parent groups.

Kevin Smith's commentary on this movie is hilarious, I don't care whether you love or hate the movie. Smith is such a softie anyway, even when he's tearing something to shreds he still looks for redeeming elements and reminisces a lot about what his feelings were back in 92 (same for the 89 commentary).

 

[HalloweenRes]

Wow, I didn't realize what day it was. Can't believe it's been 22 years ago that this film came out. I was 9 going on 10 when I saw it in theatres. Awesome film! Probably my favorite Tim Burton film of all time.. Where did the time go?? I feel extremely old.. Happy 22nd Birthday Batman Returns!!

Oh dude, they tore this movie apart. I was laughing all the way through.

I think the funniest part was when the "you don't really think you'll win do you" scene came up, they were just like, "what the **** are you guys talking about".

He has one up for the '89 movie too? oh sweet I gotta look that one up. And you're right about his reminscing that it gets to my heart just remembering the good times too.

He also does a very good Phillip Seymour Hoffman impression if let's say the Penguin was ever considered for future movies, although I think the commentary was recorde before Hoffman's death which was a bit eerie hearing Kevin's impersonation.

Just go onto itunes or go to smodcast.com. The podcast is called Fat Man on Batman. They have one for all the movies, except for the Nolan ones, which I'm sure they'll get around to soon.

 

[BatLobster]

Wait, did they do Batman & Robin yet? I didn't think they did.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Man, I had those Returns bedsheets Joker posted, too. Crazy...

 

[Ponyboy]

I don't remember that poster, at all. Do you live in The States, Joker?

It's the "international" style one-sheet. I have one of them, but I'd imagine they weren't displayed in 'Murica.

The only way I'll ever listen to a Kevin Smith commentary for anything is if he did it as Silent Bob.

[The Joker]

Batman may not show up on the big screen again until 2016, but that isn’t preventing Warner Bros. from promoting the Caped Crusader on film.

As the studio and DC Comics celebrate the iconic comicbook character’s 75th anniversary this year, the Warner Bros. VIP Studio Tour added “The Batman Exhibit,” starting June 26. Exhibit, spread out across two venues on the studio lot, marks the first time artifacts from all seven Batman films have been shown off together.

DC helped develop the comprehensive display which includes the original Bat suits worn by Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney and Christian Bale. In addition to other costumes for villains like the Joker, Catwoman, the Riddler and Mr. Freeze, props like Batman masks, Batarangs, Two-Face’s coins and the Penguin’s umbrella, Batman comicbook covers, and production art from the movies, the original Batmobile, Batpod, Tumbler and other vehicles also are on display.

Danny DeVito, who played the Penguin in Tim Burton’s “Batman Returns,” lit the Bat signal on the lot to kick off the attraction and noted to media in attendance how he’s honored to forever be associated with the character he portrayed in 1992. He said children still cower when he does the Penguin’s villainous voice.

So awesome Danny DeVito got to light the Bat signal! I'm glad he is honored to have played the character, I sure won't ever forget it.

[Young Superman]

Does anyone remember the BR action figures with the blue/gray color scheme?

 

[Travesty]

I don't think so?

Pics?

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

These are the only ones I remember.

 

[Travesty]

Oh, there were so many variants. I just had the gold and black, the all black, and the Bruce Wayne that could put on the Batsuit(looked really bad).

 

[BradenPickering]

At first glance I thought that said "Sexy Wench Batman," lol.

 

[Young Superman]

This is the one I was talking about. I had this bad boy as a kid.
