    ''A kiss under the mistle toe... a mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it.''
    ''But a kiss can be even deadlier if you mean it.''


    When a corrupt businessman and the grotesque Penguin plot to take control of Gotham City, only Batman can stop them, while the Catwoman has her own agenda.

    Michael Keaton: Batman / Bruce Wayne

    Danny DeVito: Penguin / Oswald Cobblepot

    Michelle Pfeiffer: Catwoman / Selina Kyle

    Dark, detailed, and finally Burton does what he should of done with Batman. It feels more like a Burton, it feels enriched with artistic flavour that we've come to expect since Edward Scissorhands & Beetlejuice.

    This what Batman should of been like and this is Burton allowed more control over getting his vision across and in BR it shows straight away, as soon as we see the origins of Penguin in his early life you know this is Burton at his best, in his prime, not worried about impressing the Movie Studio.

    Michael Keaton does his silent strong hero act again showing he's settled into the role of Batman.
    Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman is one of the best examples I've seen of the dual layered villain who's caught between her love for Batman and her personal issues. Her scenes are iconic and who couldn't love her when she makes that wonderful entrance followed by a Meow then that glorious exit in front of Batman & Penguin. Instantly as any man would, they want to possess her.

    Danny DeVito as Penguin is lovely, truly a disgusting freak he plays with his resemblance to a Penguin being obviously apparent. You cant help but snigger at his Copplepot name and again he's a true vision of the Penguin that only Tim could create.

    Now i have to mention Christopher Walken as Max Shreck (yeah who think up these names ! No Ogre's in sight...) we have these three animal figures and what does Burton put in the mix, a human element, a villain who has no disfiguration apart from his evil cold heart, much like the winterly resides of Gotham.

    What i love about Batman Returns is the dark tragic love between Catwoman and Batman, Wayne and Selina. Two opposites who are meant to be together yet have fiery dispositions that sometimes oppose the other, while at the same time enriches the passion and love between them. It touches me every time, something i didn't feel in the previous Batman, the first one was great as a set up for giving birth to this.

    Music wise it's haunting, it leaves you mystified and feeling good like you've just witnessed greatness. It's got all the qualities that Batman Returns is one of the best depictions of a Burton film and Batman I've seen.

    Detailed characters, dark and twisted. BR is a masterpiece.

    ''Meow!''

    The last of the good Batman movies, until Batman Begins restarted the franchise. This was a good movie, and featured Michelle Pfeiffer in skin tight spandex.

    I've seen this many times before, I recall a lot of moments from it, but a review would not be fair for the film as there is also a lot that I don't remember.

    Has to be my favourite Catwoman persona. Michelle Pfeiffer does great justice to the role and as much as I love Danny DeVito, the penguin was just too disgusting in this movie for me to enjoy the madness of the character. Still a huge Batman fan.
