3 Questions about the Movie "BATMAN RETURNS"

1. No
2. Selena Kyle's transformation scene
3. Catwoman

Yes



Catwoman

1. Yes.

2. So many, but one that really stands out is The Penguin's first meeting with and recruitment of Max Schreck.

3. The Penguin.

  1. Yes. To me, this was the best Batman film made for over a decade. When "Batman Begins" was released I was skeptical about another attempt, even one with all of the pros it had going into it. Quickly, I adored the reboot movie and separated each different franchise; favoring both set of movies for opposite reasons. Sadly, the Tim Burton franchise was cut short when Burton was fired from Warner Bros. and Michael Keaton walked as a result. The Joel Schumacher movies, "Batman Forever" and "Batman & Robin" were basically not-so-good recreations of the old, classic "Batman" TV series of the 1960's.
  "Batman Returns" for me, had a great combination of villains and a hero which no other superhero movie had really done before this (if you don't include "Superman: II", which I also love).

  2. My favorite number one scene is when Selina Kyle returns to her empty apartment home. She makes her way around the apartment, surviving a fall that only death could not understand. She drinks the milk after she pours it for her pet Ms. Kitty. Only to have her psychosis break completely, destroying her apartment starting with her walls, wardrobe, bedroom dresser (and my favorite), her doll house, etc. The scene feels like each shot was taken on one take, as it feels very authentic and emotional all at once. The collapse of an innocent person, whom wakes up with vengeance in her heart.

  3. Catwoman, clearly, lol. If you look at Catwoman and the outfit she creates herself, it's very fragile yet feline imposing. Home-made with a purpose to either fright or fight you into a corner. Really, every scene with her character is often eye-capturing. Actor Danny DeVito gave a unique twisted tale to the role of Penguin, one that certainly scared kids of all ages. However, I do think the crazier psychopath is Catwoman between the two. She honestly could have carried a Batman movie without Penguin, but then I can see why they added two villains in the story. Three, in fact, altogether. Max Schreck, played by Christopher Walken was infamous for a corrupt business man.
  Actress Michelle Pfeiffer to me has always been a more than welcoming face to watch in all of her work. "Scarface", "The Fabulous Baker Boys", "Wolf", "What Lies Beneath" and "White Oleander" to just name a handful of movies I love with her. How she couldn't win an Oscar all of her career is just plain wrong. She'll be one of my favorite actresses of all-time. One I was fortunate enough to grow up watching.
  What's funny, is Pfeiffer actually got the role of Catwoman by accident. Actress Annette Bening was cast and ready to begin filming when she unexpectedly found herself pregnant, forcing her to have to quit the project. The studios then made a rush decision and hired Pfeiffer. Who actually was previously considered to star in the role of Vicki Vale in the first "Batman" film, but she was dating actor Michael Keaton at the time; whom Keaton thought would be inappropriate to work alongside with. The part then went to actress Kim Basinger.
  Pfeiffer and Keaton will forever be my Catwoman and Batman in movies. Penguin, too. The rest, as they say... is history. These gifs below are other favorite scenes.

Same!

1. Yes. Not really a superhero movie at all, but a weird, warped fairy tale about a bunch of misfits, and all the better for it.

2. Split among the Mosaic prologue, the charity ball, and the Penguin in the graveyard. (Also De Vito biting the guy’s nose off, natch.)

3. Bruce Wayne. I like Pfeiffer better when she’s not the masked vigilante, e.g., at the ball. I’m just not terribly interested in Catwoman as a character, though Pfeiffer’s good and her transformation’s aptly creepy.

1. Yes
2.

3. Catwoman
