The Official Batman Returns Thread

Interesting. I never had the 2-disc set, although I have em on Bluray. Shame they havent released more footage on those films. Maybe when the films are 25 years old...

Does anyone in America remember seeing this poster in the theatres? I'd like to know more about it, whether it is fan made or not...

I happen to own that poster. A friend of mine gave to me back in 1992. This guy was a journalist (student I think) and someone gave the poster to him and he gave it to me because he knew how much of a Batman fan I was. It's official and as far as I know it was for the theaters.

That is probably my second favorite Batman poster ever. I love it. I remember seeing it in the video rental stores when the movie was due to come out on VHS.

Something weird I noticed: On the posters, the show Catwoman as having white skin, which she doesn't have in the film, but Batman's face is its natural color.

 

[Ponyboy]

Her face makeup when she's dressed as Catwoman is noticeably whiter...

Even so, in the film, its nowhere the Joker white is here, and in fact I notice no difference in skintone between when she is dressed as Catwoman and when not.

yeah but the makeup definetly gives her the appearance of very pale and the color hue of the film makes her skin look alot more whiter.same with penguin.

btw, that above poster is probably my favorite Returns poster, right next to the original Returns "symbol" poster. was never crazy about the theatrical poster witht he 3 faces. i always thought it was cool if they had the batskiboat on the poster.

My favorite poster is the symbol with the snow you mentioned. I wish they used that one for the home video release cover. It fits better with BATMAN's cover with the symbol

 

[Ponyboy]

this one is pretty cool...

 

[theman]

[Ponyboy]

Classic movie wonder how Christopher Nolan Catwoman will be.

It was the visual representation of the villians for the movie, certainly for the posters...

Plus... It's simply more striking I feel.

I much prefer the more common poster a lot more to this one. This poster is not representative of the tone of the film at all. It makes it look like a generic blockbuster in comparison to the other. Regular poster is a great image of Burton's artistic expression on this film, with it having the characters form a totem pole of sorts. It says that these 3 are not only a part of the same whole but also highlights the duality of these characters and how their animal avatars are the more dominant sides. Just a brilliant representation of this film's symbolism as a whole. I also do like the snow covered bat oval one too a lot. For the same reason that somebody stated before, it continues the theme from the poster of the first film rather nicely.

Some part of my dream last night included DeVito's Penguin as my computer wallpaper.

And of course.....

"And you're the hottest young person a role model could have."

I loved how deliciously perverted Penguin was in the film.

I've seen this poster before...way, way, after the film came out...IIRC, the only poster I ever saw in theaters was the three faces one, someone mentioned earlier (same as most DVD, VHS art IIRC), I remember the first time I saw this one, I fell in love with it.

 

[Ponyboy]

I found out from the same guy that told me about the 1989 Batman one sheet (in the 1989 official Batman thread) that this poster was printed in the U.S. and was used as the "International One Sheet" for overseas (non-US) markets.

Kind of like this?

 

[Ponyboy]
