 | | 9. Batman Returns (2-Disc Widescreen Special Edition-Dts) | | | Starring: Michael Keaton Michelle Pfeiffer Director: Tim Burton | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/10/2009 |  | Batman Returns - DVD Review By: James Brundage - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/27/2009 5:25 PM | |
It was the end of an era. The year was 1992 and the movie was Batman Returns. It marked the end of the Batman franchise as a series of good movies. It was, friends, the last great Batman. Gotham was dark and so was the script. Darkly comic, darkly romantic, and darkly dramatic. This tale told of Michael Keaton as Batman in a love/hate relationship with Catwoman, of a freak raised by penguins, of a power hungry industry giant who sought to leave the legacy of a polluting power plant. The Penguin: a man raised by what became his namesake, seeks to discover the identity of his parents, and then exact vengeance upon the world. read the full review | |

Batman has changed over the years. He’s gone from Holy Rusted Metal to hallucinogens, from campy to comedy and then back to campy. He’s been through more first ladies than half of its leading men, and has seen more directors than an ingnue. First up to bat in the Batman movies was Tim Burton, fresh off of Beetlejuice and right before Edward Scisscorhands. Burton’s Gotham is a noirish nightmare that grabs you from the opening scene. Batman is still a spook story to criminals, but he’s a rumor spreading like wildfire. Bumbling on the trail is jackass journalist Alexander Knox (Robert Wuhl), and the girl drawn to the mystery of the bat is Vicky Vale (Kim Basinger). read the full review | |
