The Official Batman Returns Thread - Part 3

[Lord]

but my batman don't no kill, I not love!

Lol, I love Batman Returns, but that doesn't mean i have to like that aspect or find it fitting.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

It fits this Batman.

 

[Naked Shia]

You have the right not to like it of course, but it's consistent with what has been done in Batman 89.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

I just finished watching it, first time I've seen it in years.

Tim Burton is one odd fellow. Pfeiffer is still hot as I remember in my younger days.

 

[Naked Shia]

This is the only batman movie I hate. I thought the movie was boring and that pegon was gross. I never cared to much before batman begins for batman movies. The dark knight trilgy is like 100000 times better then the other batman movies and it is hard for me to go back and watch the other batman movies now but I do like batman, batman forever and batman and robin a little bit but hate batman returns.

I will discover who is that Pegon chap you're talking about

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

There's only one live action Batman movie where he doesn't kill... Batman & Robin!

 

[ShaneHelms]

Dug this out the other night and gave it a good washing. Nostalgia folks.

Cool!

But what is it?

 

[Naked Shia]

There's only one live action Batman movie where he doesn't kill... Batman & Robin!

I may have respected you, but it was in the past. You forgot Batman the movie, you fool!

 

[ShaneHelms]

Cool!

But what is it?

It's a sleeping bag.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

I may have respected you, but it was in the past. You forgot Batman the movie, you fool!

Funny, I was actually going to mention that moviet: but I meant the modern movies. He doesn't kill anyone in the serials either (I think).

It's a sleeping bag.

Cool Like in The Empire Strikes Back? Cut Batman open and crawl inside

 

[ShaneHelms]

So awesome..

 

[antsman41]

Dug this out the other night and gave it a good washing. Nostalgia folks.

I had that...

Did you guys see this yet? They actually built the Batman merchandise shop apparently.

Other possible deleted/alternate scenes from the Wesley Strick version:

Imagine a Gotham City of the future
lit up like a blanket of stars ...
but blinking on and off,
embarrassingly low on juice.
Frankly I cringe, Mr. Mayor.

14 EXT. OUTSIDE SHRECK'S DEPARTMENT STORE--NIGHT 14

Max, his son and the Mayor roll out from beneath the *
SHRECK sign, through popping flashbulbs and happy
Gothamites.

Max smoothly hands a fifty and a second bill to a
Salvation Army Santa. Santa checks the second bill.
It's a single.

CHIP
Watch your step, Dad, it's pretty
grotesque...

Max gracefully side-steps an island of melting sludge. *
We follow its oozing stream down into a sewer grate.

'BATLASH' Entertainment Weekly:
By late spring of '92, Tim Burton was still dickering around with the Motion Picture Association of America over bits of violence too vivid for a PG-13 rating
(among other moments, a sweeping master shot of a circus gang member setting Gothamites on fire had to go).

20 EXT. GOTHAM PLAZA--NIGHT 20
An ADORABLE LITTLE GIRL takes a dollar
from her precious little purse and gives it to a SALVATION ARMY SANTA.
Behind the Adorable Little Girl, Alfred reaches a parked
Wayne Rolls Royce and tosses in his present. He pulls off
a ticket from the windshield with a huff, then looks out
to the big present. Warily.
---
Batman fires a whooshing array of small,
black, metal frisbees into the heads of some Carnival
gangsters and Bikers.

Now he focuses upon the Tattooed Strongman, chasing
Alfred and the Little Girl.

Alfred looks to the oncoming Batmobile and knowingly
ducks. A black frisbee savagely jettisons over his head,
into the Tattooed Strongman's face, crumpling him to the
ground. Alfred rises up to broadly beam at the passing
Batmobile.
* Someone named Rosie O'Connor is credited in the final film as Adorable Little Girl

Amid the chaos of whimpering victims and dropped shopping
bags, a fleeing Ice Princess shoves an Elderly Woman to
the ground.

SELINA
(scoffs)
Some appendage.

As she fast forwards:

SELINA
The party never stops on Selina
Kyle's answering machine ... Guess
I should've let him win that last
racquetball game.

Onto the next message:

GRUFF WOMAN
Selina ... We've missed you at the
rape prevention class ... It's not
enough to master martial arts. Hey,
Elvis knew those moves, and he died
fat. You must stop seeing yourself
as a vict--

Onward. Miss Kitty compassionately snuggles beside her,
as:

SELINA'S OWN VOICE
Hi, Selina, this is yourself
calling. To remind you, honey,
that you have to come all the way
back to the office unless you
remembered to bring home the Bruce
Wayne file, because the meeting's
on Wednesday and Max Slavemaster
will freak if every pertinent fact
is not at your lovely tapered
fingertips.

Selina fires her stun gun at the answering machine, jolt-
ing it off. Again, she slaps her forehead with her hand.
Then goes to her closet, puts her coat back on. As she
exits:

SELINA
The file! You stupid corn dog.
Corn dog. Deep fried! Corn dog ...

45 INT. SHRECK CONFERENCE ROOM--NIGHT 45

Max turns away from the window, stunned by his own
violence. Even more stunned, when he sees:

Chip, who's been standing in the doorway.

MAX
I ... it was terrible, I leaned
over, and accidentally knocked
her, out --

CHIP
(cool)
She jumped. She'd been depressed.

MAX
(beat, then nods)
Yes. Yes. Boyfriend trouble ..?

CHIP
(shakes his head)
PMS.

He turns and walks out. Max watches his son go, seeing
him in an entirely new light.

8 INT. THE OUTER OFFICE--DAY 58

Max and Chip stare, expressionless, out the shattered
office window. Snow has wisped into the office.

MAX
... I hope nothing--I don't know,
"icky" happened to her. Devoured
by stray reindeer, or ... Bruce.

Bruce Wayne has just entered. As he shakes with Max, his
eyes drift to the window.

BRUCE
Hmm. Primitive ventilation.

MAX
Damn those Carny bolsheviks the
other night, throwing bricks at
my windows --

BRUCE
No. No glass on the inside.

MAX
(fidgets)
Weird, huh?

72A INT. SELINA'S APARTMENT--NIGHT 72A

Selina looks out almost longingly at the unfolding
apocalypse below. Suddenly Miss Kitty leaps onto the sill
and then out the open window. Inspired, Selina jumps up
and goes for her Catwoman garb. As she effects a quick
change:

SELINA
An orgy of sex and violence? Count
me in, Miss Kitty.

She crawls cat-like through the narrow gap, onto the ledge.

SELINA
It's the purr-fect cover, for
the purr-fect crime.

229 EXT. GOTHAM PLAZA--NIGHT 229

The bat beacon light, the city lights, and the Christmas
tree lights continue to flash in wondrous syncopation. *
The Carolers begin singing again.

230 EXT. CITY HALL--NIGHT 230

The Mayor, his staff, and Commissioner Gordon, out of
their costumes, look up at the flashing bat signal. *

GORDON
Think he'll ever forgive us?

MAYOR
Probably not. But he'll always help us.

TILT UP. In the night sky, the Bat beacon blinks on ...
then off, on then off, as we move closer and closer, till
Batman's symbol fills the screen ... on, then off --

AND CUT TO BLACK.




THE END​

 

[Cain]

Man that voicemail on Selina's machine would've made a big difference. One of the biggest things the detractors of this movie always cling onto all over the net is "how did Catwoman know self defense so well?". Even though there are numerous implications throughout the movie (I.E.: picking up a stun gun because she's used to being a victim on the defensive); some people still aren't satisfied with using their imagination. Nor with realizing that it's just a movie and trivialities like that shouldn't really be overthought. So it would've been perfect for that audience.

I always liked how she transformed her hello there to hell here.

 

[ShaneHelms]

Prop hunting and looking all day, came across this which I've seen in person but thought I'd share it with those who've never seen it.

Batmobile Insert Cockpit - "Batman Returns"

This Insert Cockpit was used during the production of 1992's "Batman Returns" This piece is a studio process car used by production for interior shots taking place within Batman's spectacular Batmobile. Originally designed by Anton Furst, this process car was designed to help Tim Burton and his team obtain key shots of Batman within the cockpit. By removing the body of the vehicle, the cameras were able to get up close with Batman, the interior electronics, and gadgets within the vehicle. As such, only the interior of the cockpit and the back wall of the car were built for production, while the outer casing seen on the sides were added later to make the piece more presentable.

 

[Travesty]

That pretty cool. How much was it going for?

I'm sure it's incredibly expensive.

 

[ShaneHelms]

$50,000

Do you guys like the armor look of the Returns suit, or do you like the muscles on the 89 suit?
