This is one of the best movies ever made IMHO.
I've just finished reading the book funnily enough. Parts of it do verge on dark comedy.
Watching all the Star Wars films on Sky movies. ;)
I did, before I read the comics. I can regard them as good films, just not good Batman films.
The penguins with missiles strapped to their backs always ruins the feeling of melancholia for me. By that point in the film I'm face-palming like mad.
That's where the movie got killed for me. That and Penguin's toy car version of the batmobile.
I will say, however, that a scene in the film involving Bruce, Selina and a mistletoe is one of the greatest scenes in any Batman film ever. Always worth putting in the movie just for that moment alone.
That is a good scene.
Without a doubt. I just now finished another run of Returns! Frankly I think it gets stronger as the film progresses - more of Bruce and Batman. Keaton was great in all his scenes. I also really liked the monstrous-yet-tragic performance by DeVito as the Penguin. It's a weird, interesting, flawed, but ultimately good film in my opinion.
Elfman's score is something I'd describe as "operatic" as well.
Exactly. The set design contributes as well.
I do, they're my favourite Batman films.
Them, but they are terrible. I do love the Nolan Trilogy of films, caught The Dark
Knight last night on ITV 2.
From the trailer, I'm not looking forward to Batman v Superman, as for some reason
I never liked Superman. I think he was always a bit too " goodie two shoes" for my
Taste. :D
I still find Reeves Superman movies (the first three anyhow) better than anything Superman though up later.
Having said that, I respect and enjoy the first two Burton Batman films too. I really liked Batman Returns as a kid, mainly because of the wonderful Michelle Pieffer. The Penguin was disturbingly dark too, although I didn't think DeVito got him right. Keaton was amazing as a conflicted Wayne/Bat. The 1989 Batman has grown on me, although I was never able to get into it as much - but Keaton was wonderfully unhinged.
Speaking of... look what Hot Toys just posted on their Facebook page! This was delayed and delayed and now it's finally coming out!
Yes, it's finally coming. The Wayne head sculpt doesn't like quite as spot on as it could be. It looks like a hybrid of Keaton, Robert Forster and Gary Sinise. If Hot Toys make a single and a double pack (like Captain America from The Winter Soldier), i'll buy Batman. But if they only make the double pack, then i'll get the double.
