Fantasy TV is now The Lord of the Rings!
Heroes are moving to the Movies sections!
I never understood why people were so hard on it for its depiction of the Penguin when the Nolan trilogy did so much reinterpreting, not to mention other popular and recent comic films that do it.
If anything, Returns sort of redefined the design of the Penguin over the past 25 years. Even if he may not act as foul as DeVito's Penguin, he still has that grotesque look to him in many incarnations since then, namely BTAS and the Arkham games.
As far as Batman goes, I don't think anything in TDKT is as fundamentally altered as Burton's Penguin. Other than him being from an aristocratic family, there's pretty much nothing about him that's pulled from the comics. Which I don't have a problem with because I found the version so compelling, but I can understand why someone wouldn't like it or the movie in general. It's kind of an acquired taste.
Unlike today comic book movies were few and far between and this was a highly anticipated sequel that it probably took many people off guard.I never understood why people were so hard on it for its depiction of the Penguin when the Nolan trilogy did so much reinterpreting, not to mention other popular and recent comic films that do it.
My favorite of the two Burton films, I've always preferred this over Batman 89. I remember back when this came out going to my local video store and them promoting it with someone there dressed in the Keaton suit. I was a happy kid that day
Agreed. The movie was a 15 when it came out here, I was 12 and managed to sneak in to see it with my older brothers. As I then grew up I kinda forgot about it and then rediscovered it growing up. I still like it a lot and it's my favourite non Nolan Batman movie.
