The Official Batman Returns Thread

I don't consider that travesty anything related to Catwoman, no Selina Kyle = NO CATWOMAN!

I remember actually giving Halle Berry's Catwoman a chance... I think I watched about 15 minutes and turned it right off.

After they released an official pic of her in costume I felt there was nothing there to give a chance to.

 

[Hellion]

But hey. I KNOW this costume is and always will be 10 times sexier than whatever Nolan dreams up. (Must repress fanboy tendancies )

The Burton-era Catwoman is the definitive film Catwoman to me......I don't think Nolan can top it.

Fo' real.

I wonder of Halle knew here how much she was really ****ing up her Catwoman performance. t:

Pfeiffer really looks good for her age.

This is still to me the definitive burton Batman film. You can tell with the 1st one he was trying to fit into a mold here you can tell he got his way. It's my favorite of the two as well for likely that reason.

That's true but it's like that with all directors. Schumacher tried to provide something traditional but took his approach to a new extreme in Batman and Robin. Nolan's realistic tone was in full swing in his second film as well.

I just came here to say this...

Selina and Bruce should have ended up together god damnit!

I demand an alt ending be made depicting them having a happy ending.

While your post made me LOL.... I don't think that was a good idea. I like the fact that it didn't work. It kept the movie somber.

 

[Smalley]

As stated by Catwoman/Selina, that sort of "fairytale ending", where she comes to live in his castle, forever and ever, would be at odds with the film's constantly tragic, dark tone, and unlikely given Selina's degenerative mental state.

Even as a literature buff, I'd pick the happy ending over a theme-faithful ending any day. I would have been a joyfull man if I got to see Batman and Catwoman leaving Penquin's hide out, holding hands together, to live happily ever after. I mean, you have two toretured souls, they deserve to have someone they can love, who is truly like themselves. I think everyone would want to see them have each other in the end.

Yes, I have a 13 year old girl living inside me, who needs to see true love on film... hence why I love Titanic.

I always tear up watching that scene(call me crazy, I know)...as evil and twisted and miseralbe a person as the Penguin was, if things had played out differently......now I wanna watch Batman Returns again...

...this was my first Bat-Film, and to me, the definitive Bat-Film....

You know what's so badass? Although his cowl was ripped off the suit, Bruce still very much looks like Batman. It has a lot to do with Keaton's eyes.

The Penguin's death is one of my favorite scenes from the film. "Ahhh ****, I picked the cute one".

The best part of the scene is when Penguin dies. I like how the sad music plays after he dies rather than before or during (in most movies). He just drops dead like a fly as if it's no big deal until you see the Penguins coming out.

The original Batman Returns trailer (not the one that's in the extras of the DVD or the blu ray) is probably the most epic Batman movie trailer ever made. Especially that shot of the emblem in the middle of a blizzard.

I like seeing the alternate/unused takes as well, especially Michelle's laugh near the end <3

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

I remember seeing that trailer for the first time on it's premier on Entertainment Tonight, it was epic I can still feel the excitement like it was yesterday.

 

[Ponyboy]

Here's one in HD... I think this one came first as they were using the '89 Batman font with the actors' names at the end.

I'm pretty sure that's the same trailer on the extras for the BR SE dvd and blueray
