Batman Returns The Official Batman Returns Thread - Part 4

[Milk Tray Guy]

The Returns suit is my favorite of the Burton/Schumacher era. It's sleeker than the 89 suit plus it fixed the chest logo as a bonus. Even the cowl was an improvement.

Absolutely. It ties with the Begins suit as my favourite suit of all.

I go back and forth between it and the 89 suit. All I know for sure is that I don't care for the armoured look as much as the sculpted muscle.

I've thought that the suit that Kilmer wears for most of Forever before the sonar suit upgrade seemed to be a bit of a hybrid combination of the 89 and Returns suits to an extent (but with nipples, of course. Sigh )

Absolutely. It ties with the Begins suit as my favourite suit of all.

I don't really have one favorite movie suit but Begins would be up there for me too. For a while it was the TDK suit but over time I've thought that while it looks good it's a little too busy and not imposing enough. Honestly I've liked practically all of the movie Batsuits except for the Clooney suits and any of the Batfleck suits that came after BvS (Justice League, The Flash).

Returns suit is my favourite of the old ones, too. What a beauty

I seem to recall it being discussed in the 1989 features what a bold move it was to feature just the bat-symbol on that movie’s teaser poster. I like that they took it even further with Returns by just focusing on the head.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Until WB freaked out an demanded a more distinct poster.

Probably for the best, mimicking the first movie's campaign entirely would have been seen as lazy and unimaginative. Plus, the ''totem pole'' is pretty darn wonderful too.

 

[Drizzle]

This is just my theory but even though it's clearly the Bat logo on the poster, the way it's zoomed in could also be interpreted as cat ears.

 

[Captain Tired]

I like the poster where it's the bat symbol with snow overlaying it

Little bits like Batman asking Alfred for antiseptic ointment and the vichyssoise and Selina suiting up in her car makes this the best.

Burton and his team really knew what they were doing with that suit and the lighting...
Damn, so gorgeous, even in BTS footage.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

The cowl is just perfection.

 

[The Joker]

I don't know if anyone heard the story of the monkey biting Danny DeVito in the crotch in the scene where it brings him the note from Batman. Well there it is lol.

... So that scream at the end of the scene was real...


But seriously, it's funny how DeVito apparently grunts in his Penguin voice. He wasn't kidding when he said he was really into it!

For any Unspooled listeners, they just did a great episode on Batman Returns (also an episode on Beetlejuice)

 

[BatLobster]

Oh man, film scans of trailers are like a straight nostalgia drug for me. This was wonderful to see.

Looks great... but I could never justify the price of these things.

The quality of these Figures is insane and unless im mistaken, they are all colored by hand etc...but yeah, 200+ for such a figure is not easy to justify.
I often think about buying one, but in the end i also find myself going "I just cant pay this much for a figure".
Maybe if money wouldnt be all that tight on my end it would be easier.

I wouldn't pay that much for one, either. Looks good, though.

Love this…
