My favorite batman filmI think this is the only batman film that comes close to Dark Knight for me. It captured that darkness without the dark brown filter on blast on every camera angle. Michael Keaton is and will always be my favorite batman. He has the mystery that todays batman lacks. Christian bale, some stranger that grew up in an orphanage knew he was batman..Score: 5/5

Return to a pre-Batnipple Era.Batman returns for more crime fighting after his previous cinematic escapade should have marked the end of his being Batman because all the primary motivation vanished (watch 1989’s Batman, and you’ll figure out why). We begin with an establishing shot of the Cobblepot house, coupled with whines of a newborn baby, and a disgusted couple deciding to abandon their baby for reasons revealed later. Fast forward 33 years, and we see a meeting of Max Shreck’s (Christopher Walken) board prepping his legacy project: a power plant he wants Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton) to fund. After listening in on the meeting, his secretary Selina Kyle (Michelle Pfeiffer) tries to make a suggestion before being sidelined for reasons that just come off as sexist. After that, we see her (literal) fall to madness, then from the sewers rises the Penguin (Danny DeVito), the baby that was abandoned to the sewers at the start of the movie. Instead of learning ninjutsu, he accepted himself as a monster, and becomes an eco-terrorist. Batman actually gets sidelined in favor of development of Penguin and Catwoman, and they are quite well developed: we see how Penguin becomes the bizarre creature he is from being abandoned by his parents for being different, and being raised by penguins, and we see how Catwoman goes from lonely secretary trying to make it in a man’s world to the craziest crazy-cat-lady ever. There’s still plenty of Batman, but he arrives later than he did last time. What also returns are the special effects that just look unforgivably fake. Some sets and costumes look cool, but the special effects were just unforgivably obvious in the fact they’re fake. Danny Elfman also returns for the soundtrack, but not Prince. His score is as deep and memorable as ever. With a few laughs here and there, especially when you see Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle meet after having fought as Batman and Catwoman, Batman returns for another solo outing that would be the last good Batman movie for 13 years..Score: 5/5
Keaton rocks!Michael Keaton rein spired his role as the Batman, and didn't disappoint.Score: 4/5
Im Batman and Im ReturningIts 1992: Tim Burton had just completed Edward Scissorhands. A film that had a creative look so original that it invented the phrase "Burton-esque". And in 1992, Burton directed Edward Scissorhands 2, oh wait it was Batman Returns. Well it might as well have been considereing that this movie has Burton's fingerprints all over it. That doesn't mean it's a bad movie however. Michael Keaton is back as batman and kills it once again but in this movie we are introduced to new villians: The Penguin and catwoman. The penguin is played by Danny Devito and like Nicholson three years before, there is no one else i would have thought to play the penguin in 1992 than Danny Devito. However unlike Nicholson, the penguin is a sick, disgusting weirdo that's completely crazy. (Remember the scene where he bites that guys nose and blood squirts everywhere). That being said, Devito does a good job with the material. His makeup is so fantastic that you can't even tell it's Danny Devito, so good job to the make up department. Now we come to catwoman, played by Michelle Pfeiffer, Here's the thing, people seem to think that her catwoman is the best catwoman of all time, i used to think so too until Anne Hathaway cane along, but once again, like Nicholson and Devito, she does a good job with the role. Her suit is fantstic and I have to say that i like hersuit more than Hathaway's suit, that's just me though. The film has a cool christmas amd halloween mix look to it that's similar to The Nightmare Before Christmas and that's what Burton does so well and liek in the previous batman, Commissioner Gordon is not a big character at all and pops in and out again, just as dissapointing as it was before. In the end, Batman Returns is a solid, entertaining sequel that is clearly a Tim Burton film, but that certainly does not mean it's bad..Score: 4/5

Magnifique!Un de mes films préférés, très gothique et étrange. Du Tim Burton complètement éclaté et sans contrainte de son "peak" créatif des années 90. Côté francophonie, je suis ravi que la piste audio française soit bel et bien la version doublée au Québec (contrairement à Batman 89 et Batman Forever qui annoncent un doublage Français Canada et qui contiennent malheureusement la version française de France).Score: 5/5
