Batman and Batman Returns are widely understood to be the best depiction of the Batman characters.

The script is asscrap.

It's part of the holy trinity of superhero movies along with Superman '78 and The Phantom

Compared to The Last Jedi, it's a fucking work of art.

Yeah well it came out 20 years before TLJ set the bar, so it is what it is user.

Maybe it would've been if Sean Young played Catwoman instead of Michelle Pfeiffer

I was 2 when it came out and I've watched it multiple times as a kid. I always loved Catwoman in this and played pretend that I was "Catman" and I would be her date. It's weird that I didn't pick up on the sexual innuendo properly, I was too young, I thought she was just "animalistic", but at the same time I was unconsciously knowing how hot she was. As a young kid I unironically thought that if an animal licked you just after you died you could gain its powers. I spent two days saying to my parents I would only drink milk because I wanted to become a cat, refusing water and juice. At least that was a phase and I didn't become a furry.

I can't stand Burton but this is still a damn fine movie. There's some genuinely enjoyable comedy and creativity and the cast is fantastic

I do know that, but even so the show is its own thing, and it's what normies think of first.

Cause literally everything else fucking sucks. Also, she was a terrible Catwoman, take off your coomglasses

Yeah for like 2 issues. That's such a retarded argument, for 99% of Batman's 80 year history he's been known as a hardcore no-kill superhero who never makes an exception. Same as Spider-Man, these two should NEVER under any circumstance kill another human being, an possibly even aliens since aliens may have families too. It's just shitty writing, completely out of character

Agreed, Batman not killing people is bad writing.

Zack Snyder go to bed, you stupid edgelord hack

I thought they did a good job of making the Penguin interesting, opening immediately with the backstory, and then building intrigue by showing him in brief silhouette shots before the big reveal. Walken was great as Shreck too.

Penguin dragged the movie down, his entire storyline needed a rewrite

Also the movie was borderline monochrome with the snow theme, that's why Batman Forever was full of faggy colors in response

Every live action movie Batman so far is a killer, except

Unironically the best Batman

Batman Returns is the best Batman film by far. Followed by Batman ‘89 and Forever.

im actually surprised it isnt hated by fans.
they change so much from the source
penguin is a rich club owner mobster...
lets change him into a literal freakish penguin monster human that is homeless and lives in the sewer...
not only he has no money or mob connections, but his only plan is to kill all the kids in gotham?

even as i write this, it sounds retarded. i know the movie is beautiful. i know the actors are wonderful... i know Burtons aesthetic is gothic and dark

but seeing how much penguin changes.... holy shit
then you take Catwoman, a regular jewel thief.
and change her into a paranormal zombie woman that eats birds and licks her head?
is Burton retarded?
why did she hate Batman? he literally did nothing to her.
theres no motive for her first attack on him
she blows up the store and.... fights him?

because it's fucking stupid and nothing happens.

the whole scene was such a kino

youtube.com/watch?v=eeEz9oE17ac

It absolutley is not. It's a cartoon. To 'normies' Batman is a movie character.

i dont care who insults me about this.
but batman forever is More enjoyable and flows better than batman returns.
forever has a more entertaining flow. characters are more entertaining

there is no best penguin. he fucking sucks.

>muh comics
Burton made those characters far better than the source material. We saw jewel thief Catwoman in Nolan's film and she sucked. Penguin being a tragic character you feel for in spite of being an awful person instead of some generic mobster is also an upgrade.

>why did she hate Batman? he literally did nothing to her.
It wasn't him, she resented herself for how weak she was before in having to be saved by him. Hence her scolding the chick she rescued. She wanted to prove herself. Of course then he fucked her up and apparently took one of her lives.

Batman Forever is great, I wish it were longer

>batman forever
Is this the new contrarian meme opinion to have? Batman Forever is a children's movie.

They cut out the entire Red Book subplot which makes the film go from pretty good to great. There’s fan edits that reinsert the footage but hopefully WB gives us a directors cut one day.

>Red Book subplot
What's this?

I've seen of the RedBook fanedit (I think it's called), and it's pretty good. The theater cut could have done a lot more with Bruce's psyche and the whole psychological angle

Because Jokerfags can't accept Returns is superior and industryfags got sand in their vagina it didn't out gross the original

It was a diary that his parents kept and you found out that Bruce was nagging his parents to go out the night they got shot. It was a repressed memory he spends the whole film uncovering. There’s more to it and it goes into his psyche a lot more.

Wish burton would have made a third

i already acknowledged how beautiful the sets and costumes are. i know the actors are great.
but as a script, it ispretty crap

i can accept penguin being a freak ghoul bird man.
but why not give him a better plot that killing children
if Max didnt try the mayor stuff, penguin has no story. his only goal is to kill someone kids
why? and how?
he is leader of a fucking gang, but theres no good story. why does the gang follow him
what do they want? the clown gang are two dimentional goons.

catwoman teeming up with penguin to kill batman makes NO SENSE
she wants to kill max,why not kill him instead of teaming up with penguin
her only motive is revenge? why not take it

burton wrote an incoherent retarded story

cope

They're all children's movies - it's a comicbook superhero

Nobody cares about burton batman the same way nobody cares about the original comic iteration.

BTAS and TDK are more popular.

Me too.

Ok tell me, what's the motive or plot of Catwoman, tell me. What's her arc

production design in that movie was garbage, you cant see shit and its all small stages

She's a pathetic doormat who becomes empowered, literally, after her boss tries to murder her. Yet in spite of this she continues getting fucked up by the men of the movie, until the end when she finally has her woman power moment and gets revenge on the asshole who started it all.

Now tell me what Hathaway's arc was?

>they brought him in just for him to be curmudgeonly old fuck for Batwahmen to kill in one scene

She was a jewel thief who hated rich people until Bruce Wayne got her hot and bothered

Bravo Nolan, some deep shit there.

Zoomers gonna zoom.

Scenes like this is why Returns was and still is my favorite.

Absolutely based. One of the best moments to this day in comic book films. Before capeshit became soulless, even pretentious. Burton was making actual art. Everything works about this scene. And the song is kino.

burton was ahead of his time

I watched Stardust and Antman 2 just for her.
Would

Batman Returns is a gothic fantasy masterpiece. I swear if it weren't for the capeshit source material that people attach themselves to, this film would be hailed as a masterpiece like Brazil or something.

>Gorgeous visuals, best of any capeflick
>Devito's Penguin is legitimately horrifying and revolting, but also somehow pitiful and sad.
>Batman/Catwoman story is legitimately adult and moving.
>That fucking kino masquerade scene
>Leather fetish activated
This film has so much fantastic style, much more than even '89, but it's also a great look at Burton as an artist.
Is it exactly Batman from the comics? No. But it's not so unrecognizable to the point of totally betraying it either.
And we get kino visuals like pic related.

Go to bed grandpa, Anne is objectively prettier and has an objectively better body. You just have shit taste, like all boomers

Women have been like this long before tumblr. Bruce shows her compassion though and breaks through it a bit, and in a modern capeshit the power of love would have overcome all of her issues and they would have brought Walken to the cops and lived happily ever after. But based Burton give us the true shit in showing how vindictive a woman can be, even going as far as to potentially kill herself to get even.

her sacrifice at the end is cut short and robbed by the shitty cliffhanger

The ending is fine. For her to have a fresh new suit right after the events of the climax it kind of has to be a copycat Catwoman. She clearly only had one costume throughout the film seeing as it gets progressively more fucked up. But the notion that maybe she somehow survived lets the film end on a more optimistic note, as a Christmas movie should.

Keaton is good, just not as Bruce Wayne/Batman

The Dark Knight is overrated as fuck. The only good thing about it is Heath's Joker. Bale is a terrible Batman and Nolan is a pretentious hack. Begins is an all around better film because I guess Nolan wasn't too far up his own ass at that point, but it still pales to either Burton film.

>The Dark Knight is overrated as fuck. The only good thing about it is Heath's Joker.
Anyone who claims the only thing TDK has going for it is the Joker should never praise any superhero film including burtons. From the direction to sound design it makes every other capeshit look mediocre.

Nolan fucking blows

It IS mediocre, Nolan can't edit for shit and TDK feels like it was made by an attention deficit addled child. And I disagree with that poster, Heath Ledger Joker sucks, edgelord who cuts himself, how interesting pffft
