Trivia:

Goofs:
Factual errors: When Bruce plays the CD, just for fun he "scratches" it back and forth like a record a few times, and it sounds just like record scratches. Although modern (2006) DJs have equipment that can emulate record scratches from a CD, it does not involve touching or moving the actual CD itself. Additionally, the equipment to do so wasn't available in 1992. more

The Dark Knight Returns, 19 June 2002
10/10
Author: mpact75 from Houston, TX

Out of all the Bat-films, Batman Returns is my favorite. This beautiful, dark, and funny film is one of Tim Burton's best work. Although it is much violent and darker, this is the Batman that creator Bob Kane envisioned many years ago. Michael Keaton reprises his role as the avenger of Gotham City. This time he's up against two deadly foes, Danny Devito's Penguin and Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman. With a great cast and film score by Danny Elfman, the movie takes us on an adventure as Batman battles the evil forces that are trying to take over Gotham City. Christopher Walken makes a great appearance as Max Shrek, a shrewd businessman who has an evil scheme up his sleeve. But of course, Michelle Pfeiffer is the one that steals the show. With all of these components, you have a film that will blow you away. This is the reason why you go to the movies. It's got everything. It's really a shame that Tim Burton didn't get to direct the other sequels. If so I think the franchise would still be going strong today. Batman Returns is an awesome experience for fans that like cool movies.
