Batman Returns

Pros: Pfeiffer. Entertaining movie with good characters. Creepy villain.
Cons: Certain aspects were rather dark and twisted.

After the success of B atman in 1989, it wasn’t surprising that a second Batman movie was made. I still wasn’t interested in Batman in general when Batman Returns was released in 1992 so I ...

Pros: Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Tim Burton's Direction, Story, Darkness, Danny DeVito, Characters
Cons: maybe the ending to some

Too often, when a movie comes out, and it is perceived as being dark, the audience splinters into groups that either think the movie was great or that it was too dark. Batman Returns, along with its first installment Batman presented a movie ...

Pros: Michelle Pfeiffer, Keaton's back, great design and themes of duality
Cons: Script wasn't finished, DeVito/Burton's interpretation of Penguin wasn't entirely successful

This is undoubtedly my favorite of the Batman films, and the one that I think digs the most into Batman/Bruce Wayne's character. The events of the movie make more sense than in some of the other Bat-films (well, some of the events), and anything that...

Pros: Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman. MEOW!!
Cons: Does Batman suck at keeping a secret identity?

Batman attracts criminals like a moth to a flame, but Gotham City breeds them to be even weirder than one expects. That’s okay since the man behind the mask isn’t exactly playing with a full deck…at least in his own mind. The success of ...

Pros: continuity with #1, terrific music, nice DVD
Cons: overdone dark fairy-tale qualities, penguin armies hard to swallow

Ask a group of people their opinions of the Batman movies as a collection and you might get almost as many different views as people giving them. I think that while not as good as the first, B. Returns is better than the two that followed and is a ...

Pros: Tim Burton, darker style, and it's Batman!
Cons: Overacting, a bit cheesy, weak plot.

Bat-mania is back, thanks to Nolan's B atman Begins and the upcoming T he Dark Knight. It revived interest in the past Batman movies - or at least maybe it's just me. I rewatched all ...

Pros: Surreal macabre fun with a great cast
Cons: The odd special effects glitch

Before enormous nipples and lashings of neon, Batman films were that rare, elusive beast - the critically-acclaimed blockbuster. Despite a few parents moaning that they couldn't take their spawn to see such dark and violent films about everyone's ...

Pros: Great drama, well done performances by all the actors
Cons: Batman does not get enough screen time; there is less action here than the predecessor

After 1989’s Batman was a monster hit, it was inevitable that Warner Bros. would cash in by producing a sequel. The main question people pondered about was who would be the villain(s)? That answer came quickly as Catwoman and the Penguin were ...

Pros: Fantastic set design and cinematography. Great cast. Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman suit.
Cons: Movie seems a little disjointed and cluttered in a few spots.

Even though a lot of people disagree with me, I still find 1992's Batman Returns to be far superior to the overrated 1989 original. The sequel to the 1989 blockbuster has a better script, was much darker (and not for children), had a better cast...

Pros: Plot, Character, Acting, Effects, Costumes, Everything!
Cons: None, though the DVD could use more bonus features!

So, I was shocked to learn that for years I've had a review in of the "Batman Returns" soundtrack (reviewed at: ht tp://www.epinions.com/content_ 89471618692 ) but that I had somehow never managed to get around to ...

Pros: The actors were pretty good with their characters
Cons: It's the darkest of the 4 movies. Very black with some gory scenes

After viewing the success that was the first Batman movie, I was eager to view the 2nd movie, Batman Returns, expecting it to be as superb as its predecessor. Alas, my spirits were dashed at what I saw: a dark, gloomy, somewhat gory movie. The movie ...

Pros: All the stuff that worked the first time is kicked into high gear.
Cons: So is all the stuff that DIDN'T work.

Tim Burton's 1989 "Batman," (see previous review) was a bigger success than even it's major supporters had ever dreamed possible. Though it comes off as a little dated today, at the time of it's release it's visual style was so new that action fans...

Pros: Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Michelle Pfeiffer
Cons: Um... kinda gross at times.

Batman Returns is my favorite Batman movie yet. And one of my favorite movies ever, and really funny too, in a dark way. Michael Keaton returns as Batman/Bruce Wayne, and I give a cheer. He really makes Bruce Wayne and Batman seem like different ...

Pros: Excellent visual effects, great acting,
Cons: Some of the violence may have been a bit too much for younger kids.

Tim Burton's 1989 blockbuster "Batman" just screamed for a sequel the moment it was made. Thankfully, Burton gave us another adventure of the brooding, mysterious Dark Knight that was as exciting as the original movie. This time out, Batman (Michael...

Pros: Perfect casting and a magnificent score.
Cons: Hard to fault.

After the huge success of Batman in 1989 Tim Burton was thankfully allowed to make another Batman film with Michael Keaton back as the caped crusader. The result was Batman Returns. The plot finds Oswald Cobblepot thrown into the sewers as a child by ...
