a5c7b9f00b After stopping the Joker&#39;s rampage, Batman finds himself facing the hideously grotesque Penguin–a deformed villain who emerges from the sewers who plans to be respected into Gotham&#39;s community. Little does Batman know is that devious businessman Max Shreck is working with the Penguin to becoming Mayor of Gotham. And they also plan to frame Batman from a different perspective. Meanwhile, Max&#39;s lowly secretary Selina Kyle gets thrown out a window from her workplace and transforms herself into the mysterious vigilante called Catwoman. Can Batman defeat two fiendish foes at once and clear his name at the same time? Having defeated the Joker, Batman now faces the Penguin - a warped and deformed individual who is intent on being accepted into Gotham society. Crooked businessman Max Schreck is coerced into helping him become Mayor of Gotham and they both attempt to expose Batman in a different light. Earlier however, Selina Kyle, Max&#39;s secretary, is thrown from the top of a building and is transformed into Catwoman - a mysterious figure who has the same personality disorderBatman. Batman must attempt to clear his name, all the time deciding just what must be done with the Catwoman. I don&#39;t mind superhero films moving away from the comics. So don&#39;t take my love of Batman Begins and my distaste for this moviejust the typical obnoxious fanboy ranting. The 1989 Batman was a magnificent film. Unfortunately, Tim Burton couldn&#39;t make lightning strike twice.<br/><br/>I like movies that are Character driven. Unfortunately, this movie is not driven by characters, it is driven by character traits. Catwoman is sexy and Penguin is disgusting. Really nothing more to go on, other then more nifty ways to make toys.<br/><br/>Just thinking out loud here, but, are we supposed to like Catwoman? I mean, she&#39;s obviously not a total villain, she fights for what she thinks is right. Okay. But she&#39;s still not the least bit likable. Hell, the penguin is more likable then her and were not supposed to be able to stand the site of him.<br/><br/>A little quirkiness like Catwoman being flown around on a helicopter umbrella is definitely not 1. Funny 2. Suspenseful 3. Enjoyable 4. Quirky… Basically, what were we supposed to be thinking and feeling during this movie? SOme of these scenes only work to try to add a little weirdness to the film, but ultimately fail miserably. Because this movie is not driven by its story, action, or characters. The first Batman film, for me, is astounding. Not only the best Batman film, (I even think it tops Nolan&#39;s brilliant vision), I think its one of the best films ever made. So &#39;Returns had a lot to live up to. And I think with a few changes, a bit of tampering with the plot here and there, it really could have topped it. <br/><br/>Firstly, the casting. Brilliant stuff. DeVito&#39;s Penguin is grotesque, evil, and quite scary, very menacing. Yet by the end of the film, you ignore all that, and genuinely feel sorry for him. I could imagine no other actor taking that role. It seems The Penguin was created solely for the purpose of DeVito to portray him. Notgood a villainNicholson&#39;s Joker, but definitely in my list of all time movie villains. Michelle Pheiffer&#39;s Catwoman too is purrrfect (sorry, couldn&#39;t resist), she takes the role and runs astray (again, sorry!). She is sexy, mysterious, and very alluring. The chemistry between her and Keaton is fantastic. Now, do i really need to talk about the greatness of KeatonBatman? Well i&#39;m not going to, see my review for Batman 1989, although we all know he is phenomenal. Same with Christopher Walken. Just hearing he&#39;s a villain in a Burton Batman film instantly provokes excitement.<br/><br/>The plot. Its good, but not great. I find it hard buying the idea of Penguin running for mayor, but i suppose this is fiction after all. Its a Batman film. But i liked the idea of Catwoman and Penguin teaming up, albeit for a short while, and framing Batman. Also an evil corrupt businessman working with Penguin too was a great move. Although, I don&#39;t feel the story isengaging or excitingthe previous film. Its just something about the first film. They really couldn&#39;t match it. And no Batman film really has since. Hell, any superhero film for that matter. Ahh screw it, no film really has! <br/><br/>Now, the sets. Very, very, dark. Yet, very, very, excellent. Matches the tone of the film perfectly. My only regret is they didn&#39;t use Anton Furst&#39;s fantastic sets at Pinewood Studios. It was a brilliant piece of architecture, his Gotham City. Nonetheless, these sets are good, and like I said, are very well suited to the atmosphere and overall tone of the film. <br/><br/>Overall, &#39;Returns is a good film. Notgoodthe original, but a decent Batman flick. Shame Burton didn&#39;t do more. People complained at how dark this was compared to Batman 1989, but that film was dark. You would think they would expect it, I personally thought the darkness of both films is what Batman is all about. He&#39;s not a happy camper protecting a brightly neon lighted fantastic spectacle of a city. Nudge Nudge Schumacher…<br/><br/>Good film. Great cast. Good music (however i preferred the first films score). And fantastic directing. You can tell in some scenes that the producers let Burton go crazy and do whatever he wanted. The first film is a Batman film, this one, is a Tim Burton film. Its very entertaining, and a good Batman film. And thats all that matters really. Like the hero himself, the movie is larger than life - a horrific fantasy that gets carried away with itselfthe mood builds and the tension mounts In an attempt to become the mayor of Gotham City, the nefarious Penguin (<a href="/name/nm0000362/">Danny DeVito</a>), tossed by his parents into the sewers shortly after his birth, teams up with megalomaniac businessman Max Shreck (<a href="/name/nm0000686/">Christopher Walken</a>). He also works with the slinky, mysterious Catwoman (<a href="/name/nm0000201/">Michelle Pfeiffer</a>) to plot the downfall of Batman (<a href="/name/nm0000474/">Michael Keaton</a>) …until Catwoman spurns Penguin&#39;s romantic advances and sets out with her own agenda. The movie is based on characters created by American comic book artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger for DC Comics, first appearing in Detective Comics #27 in May of 1939. The screenplay was written by American screenwriters Sam Hamm and Daniel Waters. It is a sequel to the first movie in Warner Bros.&#39; Batman film series, <a href="/title/tt0096895/">Batman (1989)</a> (1989) and is followed by <a href="/title/tt0112462/">Batman Forever (1995)</a> (1995), and <a href="/title/tt0118688/">Batman &amp; Robin (1997)</a> (1997). The film series was rebooted in 2005 with <a href="/title/tt0372784/">Batman Begins (2005)</a>. Because in the comics, Batman started out solo and Robin is still young during this time. The character of Robin was included in early screenplays for the film, and actor <a href="/name/nm0005541/">Marlon Wayans</a> was cast in the role. Action figures of Wayans&#39; Robin were even produced. However, rewrites to the script ultimately removed all mention of Robin, and the character was saved for the next film, <a href="/title/tt0112462/">Batman Forever (1995)</a>. Not until the very end of the film. Shreck sees Bruce Wayne onlya possible investor in his power plant, and Penguin doesn&#39;t interact much at all with Bruce, so neither of them connect him with Batman. Catwoman sees Bruce Waynea rich, eligible bachelor for whom she has romantic feelings. She doesn&#39;t learn that he is Batman until Schreck&#39;s party when Bruce says back to her word-for-word an exchange they had when in their guisesBatman and Catwoman: &quot;Mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it. A kiss can be even deadlier if you mean it.&quot; Yes. Selina Kyle was workinga meek secretary for Max Shreck and living alone with only her cat for company. When she discovered Max&#39;s real plan for a power plant he was intending to build, he pushed her out of a window to keep her quiet. She survived the fall but her personality changed, becoming more aggressive and vindictive. She cut up a leather coat, fashioned for herself a cat costume, donned a bullwhip, and Catwoman was born. Yes. The movie opens with a scene showing how Esther Cobblepot (<a href="/name/nm0758405/">Diane Salinger</a>) gave birth to Oswald, who was born deformed with Penguin-like features. They keep him locked in a cage and after seeing him kill their cat, they decided to throw the infant Oswald into a river. Oswald then drifts down the river, into the sewer and is brought ashore and raised by penguins. Thirty-three years later, Oswald is showna deformed man with flippers for fingers and still living in the sewer with a flock of penguins under the Gotham Zoo&#39;s Arctic World. The character ofwas created specifically for this film, without having ever appeared in any prior Batman stories. His name is likely a reference to the German actor <a href="/name/nm0775180/">Max Schreck</a>, who played the vampire in the famous German re-inerpretation of Dracula, titled <a href="/title/tt0013442/">Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (1922)</a> (1922). On the DVD commentary, director Tim Burton reveals the character was originally going to be , played once again by <a href="/name/nm0001850/">Billy Dee Williams</a> from the first film. Williams signed up for the first with the intention that he would eventually play the character in future installments. The explosion at the end was meant to scar his face, transforming him intofor a third film. The movie was eventually reworked and Dent became Shreck. The character of Max Shreck was later planned to appear in <a href="/title/tt0103359/">Batman: The Animated Series (1992)</a>, but he was reworked into another original character, Roland Daggett, who later was the basis for the character John Daggett in <a href="/title/tt1345836/">The Dark Knight Rises (2012)</a>. Gotham City is a fictional U.S. port city located on the north-eastern Atlantic coast. It was originally a stand-in for New York City but has also resembled other crime-ridden, highly-populated urban centers suchChicago and Detroit. Some sources, including Mayfair Games&#39; authorized (but now out-of-print) Atlas of the DC Universe, have placed Gotham City in the state of New Jersey. <a href="/name/nm0634240/">Christopher Nolan</a> (director of Batman Begins and its sequels, <a href="/title/tt0468569/">The Dark Knight (2008)</a> (2008) and <a href="/title/tt1345836/">The Dark Knight Rises (2012)</a> (2012)) locates Gotham City in the middle of the estuary of the Liberty River where it empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The river separates most of Gotham from the mainland. The River Merchant divides Uptown from Midtown, while Midtown is separated from Downtown by the Gotham River. The Narrows is a small island in the Gotham River. A creek divides the district of South Hinkley from the rest of Gotham City. Gotham International Airport is in Pettsburg, to the north of the Liberty River estuary. The current DC Universe version of Gotham City is separated from the mainland by the Gotham River, bridged by a series of bridges and tunnels. The east and south sides of Gotham face the Atlantic Ocean. The city is further divided by the Sprang River (named for Dick Sprang) on the northern end and the Finger River (for Bill Finger) to the south. Tiny Blackgate Isle to the south-east is home to Blackgate Maximum Security Penitentiary. (Blackgate is replaced by Stonegate Penitentiary in the animated series <a href="/title/tt0103359/">Batman</a> (1992-1995) and its spin-offs.) Yes. The reason however is not stated, but it is likely due to the fact that Max is an evil character/businessman in the movie and,such, having someone killed goes along with that. Fred disappearing would surely have helped Max financially by allowing him to gain complete control over their businesses. <a href="/name/nm0000318/">Tim Burton</a> reportedly doesn&#39;t like making sequels, so although Batman Returns is a sequel, he made it unlike a sequel with a new love interest for Bruce Wayne. However, Vicki is mentioned twice, and she hasn&#39;t died according to the film. When Selina asks Bruce whether he has a girlfriend, Bruce tells her that he did but that it just didn&#39;t work for Vicki and himself. Later in the movie, Bruce mentions to Alfred (<a href="/name/nm0001284/">Michael Gough</a>) how Vicki once found her way into the Batcave. They were real penguins, on loan from a bird sanctuary in England. Some of the larger penguins were actually people in suits. Batman follows Penguin into his sewer lair under Arctic World where Catwoman has Shreck cornered. He stops her from killing Shreck and suggests that they take him to the police, after which they can go home together. Even though Shreck is watching, Batman pulls off his mask, revealing his identityBruce Wayne. Catwoman almost agrees but suddenly refuses on grounds that she couldn&#39;t live with herself. She pulls off her mask, too, revealing to Shreck her identitySelina Kyle. Shreck immediately fires her, shoots Bruce, and turns the gun on Selina. She challenges him, saying, &quot;You killed me, the Penguin killed me, and Batman killed me. That&#39;s three lives. You got enough (bullets) in there to finish me off?&quot; Shreck fires and keeps firing four times until he is out of bullets, but Selina keeps advancing. Figuring she still has two lives left, she uses one of them to electrocute him with power cables and a taser, causing the lair to burst with explosions. She then disappears. Penguin suddenly rises out of the toxic water, bleeding from his mouth. He complains that the heat is getting to him and that he needs a drink of ice water but collapses and dies, his penguins sliding him into his watery grave. Later,Bruce and Alfred are driving down the street, Bruce notices what looks like Catwoman&#39;s shadow against a wall. He jumps out of the car but she is nowhere to be seen. In the final scene, the bat signal emblazons the night sky, and Catwoman&#39;s head looks up at it, suggesting that she still has one life left. In the special features section of various DVD releases, it is mentioned that the final shot showing that Catwoman had survived was added at the last minute at the studio&#39;s insistence. The film was originally to have ended more ambiguously. Following Batman Returns, there were plans to have Catwoman subsequently featured in a film of her own, but the project was stuck in &quot;development hell&quot; for a whole decade. By the time a Catwoman film was finally made in 2004, all of the originally-slated participants had dropped out or been let go, and the character was no longer even Selina Kyle or related to the Batman universe. The most likely in-universe answer is that not seeing Catwoman in any of the Batman sequels could simply mean that Selina Kyle has given up her life of crime or simply moved away from Gotham City. However, there were ideas for Michelle Pfeiffer to returnCatwoman in Batman Forever. To put it simply, the UK DVD versions of this movie are all cut. First of all, there&#39;s the old 15-rated DVD that is missing two scenes: the nunchaku-swinging clown, and the infamous aerosol/microwave scene. A couple of years later a Special Edition was released with a 12 rating. The nunchaku scene has been reinserted but the microwave scene is still missing. The Blu-ray version, rated 15 in the UK, has both the above mentioned scenes restored. Beyond cats traditionally having been regardedhaving nine lives, various solutions have been suggested, most commonly that she had incorporated body armour into her costume meaning that the bullets would have still hurt (hence her reaction) but not penetrated her body. It could be that none of her vital organs (especially the heart or central nervous system) were struck and yet she also didn&#39;t experience significant blood loss, but a lack of bleeding without the protection of armour would suggest accelerated clotting or otherwise something supernatural like her being a revenant. The Halle Berry Catwoman film postulated that the role of Catwoman was actually an inherited title that was supernaturally passed down to a series of women throughout the ages. This means that either she was imbued with special powers which allowed her to survive or that the Catwoman we see at the end is not the same one we have been following throughout the film but the new bearer of the role.
