Batman in this film and the prior film batman 1989 (which all the joker references in this review originate from since he was the villain for that film) was played by micheal keaton, who played the vulture in the tom holland spider-man movies
Because of this movie is what began the development of the Catwoman movie, which was originally set to be a direct spin-off from this but instead turned into the garbage Nostalgia Critic reviewed. Recommend doing that reaction with Kirby because she'd love all the people in cat suits.
Doug doesn't mention it here, but in the last scene between Catwoman and Max Shrek, she's counting through her nine lives as he shoots her. Before the taser, she says "Two lives left. I think I'll save one for Christmas." So, her appearance at the end of the film brings closure to that as well as giving a bizarre moment of tonal relief
In case it wasn't clear, NC reviewed the first four Batman movies in backwards order: 4. Batman and Robin (1997) 3. Batman Forever (1995) 2. Batman Returns (1992) So the next batman movie review would be Batman (1989).
Now, if only Doug will review the animated Batman movies like Under the Red Hood, The Batman vs. Dracula, Gotham by Gaslight, Son of Batman/Batman vs. Robin, etc. He's already reviewed The Dark Knight Returns with The Last Angry Geek.
If you want to imagine Tim Burton continuing the Michael Keaton Batman's journey, look up Channel Awesome's Fanscription Batman stories starting with What If Harvey Dent was in Batman Returns, then their Forever story and Batman and Robin Fanscription (3 parts)
Yes, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin come after this, and are also within the same continuity. The reason why the tone's so different in those films is because after this film (though still making money) did poorly with audiences primarily with families to the point McDonald's Happy Meal toys of the movie ended up getting pulled. Thus to make sure that didn’t happen again, WB not only switched out the directors from Tim Burton to Joel Schumacher, but also told Joel to lighten up the tone of the films as well.
My granma had a mild heart attack yesterday, so christmas was essentially postponed. It good to have videos like this to bring a smile to my face. Update on the 26th: they managed to clear the blockage in her artery and put in a stint. All goes well, she will be back home tomorrow.
Now you need to watch the best Christmas film that the NC has reviewed, that being Die Hard, becuase it's a christmas movie and you can't tell me otherwise.
23:09 There was a cat in New York that survived falling from a 32 story building 29:30 CAT Catwoman's 9 lives 10:00 (1) 19:55 (2) 22:56 (3) 27:50 (shot 4 times + electrocuted) (4-8)
I always wondered HOW exactly she got her "nine-lives" power in this version. Was it supposed to be like 2004 Catwomen movie?? Did Egyptian cat goddess sent an ugly cgi cat with magic breath to turn a random dying women to her champion??
Kenner was one of the biggest toymakers of the 80s and 90s. They were bought out by Hasbro in the late 90s, but the Kenner name is so established that Hasbro has released Kenner branded toys. If you look in the toy isle at say, Wal-Mart, most of the Star Wars toys will say Kenner. To misquote CinemaSins: "The Penguin's character is all over the place. It's almost like there were 3 people writing the script!"
Maybe do the previous film, Batman 1989, next. It is Doug's favorite Batman movie. Also, "What is that from?" Home Movies, 1 of the best cartoons in Adult Swim history
NC: *Shows the joker from a different batman movie* Kyle: Wait the jokers in this? The comments: No *Later* NC: *Shows the joker again* Kyle: Wait so the joker IS in this? The comments: No
Fun fact: Penguin's father is played by Peewee Herman. Years later, in the TV series "Gotham" (a serial reimagining of Batman's origin)... Peewee will reprise THE SAME EXACT ROLE: Penguin's father. And... oh, man, the sad arc he is in. Just imagine: Penguin, being "cured" by his evilness is let go from the asylum, he goes to his mother's grave, meets the father he never knew he had and he gladly invites him to his new villa and... Cinderella plays out, but the ending... let's just say it comes from the Greek Myth of Tantalus. "Which is..." Well... to put it simply... you ARE what you eat... Oh, also, little trivia: since you said you aren't caught up with Batman's mytho: Penguin is actually a human elegantly dressed, round, short and with a pointy nose RESEMBLING a Penguin, but in this movie they fused him with Killer Croc, a guy with a skin disease that makes him look like a crocodile (more recently, tho, he is a full blown crocodile-human hybrid). Moral of the story: Penguin is not actually like this.
I still have three of the Batman Returns Happy Meal toys (Batman in some weird vehicle, Penguin in a weird vehicle, and a Batmobile). I think i also have a few Batman action figures.
Checkout Nostalgia Critic Fanscriptions as they act out 'What If' stories such as if Tim Burton stayed on the Batman Franchise: Batman Returns if Billy Dee Williams Harvey Dent was in it, Batman Forever with Two Face and Riddler (Robin Williams), Batman and Robin w/ Mr Freeze (Patrick Stewart), and others.
Yeah early Batman was a little weird with firearms since they haven’t fleshed out that aspect of his character yet. It’s a big thing about him that he struggles with his own perception of morality due to being exposed to so much messed up stuff as a detective which is why he tries to avoid using objects made for killing. It’s ironic how he hates using firearms yet is one of the top ten marksmen in the world.
Spider-man: Homecoming It’s the version from Marvel with the Avengers played by Tom Holland. He plays the main villain the Vulture who acquires weapons and tech left behind after avenger battles and then sells it on the black market.
Oh and While I do agree with you this movie is Dark AF but Michelle Pfeiffer was the first strong independent female actress and I wanted to be an actor so people will say what they will but HOT DAMN
This movie is actually meant for teenagers, not kids. The age rating was 13 and up. Really weird that people got mad at it for promoting to kids while being dark (despite Batman being one of the more depressing superheroes) yet as Critic himself pointed out they made kids toys from R rated films already! DC and Marvel always seem to get this weird reputation of being assumed they’re for kids despite having some films clearly labeled for adults.
@@theduckgoesmoo there are times some police officers (actually Carabeeners) asks for a McDonald's... And said Mac... IS LITERALLY BEHIND THE CORNER, You really just need to extend your arm from the window and THERE, here's your burger. No, call a rider. And they are like 6 in the office and not ONE dares to leave the office. "In case someone needs their help?" no, cause even then they can't leave. I once walked in when an old guy was like "they scammed me in the shop across the street, can one of you come with me?" "Nah..." Dude...
"Is that where the Penguin came from?" No, not remotely close. This was invented by the film itself. He does come from the wealthy Cobblepot family(No realation to the Wayne family as you keep guessing). He seen as an outcast and got bullied for being short and obese, as well as his pointy nose but he wasn't dumped into the river by his parents or had webbed hands. He doesn't live in the sewers. Joker is not in this movie at all, the Critic is inserting clips from the previous Batman film and makes references and jokes.
Honestly wish more super hero movies went these weird directions more often. Sure it’s not all in character from the comics, but at least it’s not boring or uninteresting like some movies these days.
Feel like Batman Returns is like Die Hard with Christmas films it can be considered a Christmas film since it takes place during Christmas but outside of that it ain't really a Christmas film more so Batman Returns than Die Hard since with Die Hard at least the plot takes place during a Christmas party meanwhile Returns could easily be put as a winter film considering there's really no major plot that involves Christmas
Still better as a Christmas movie than literally ANYTHING off of Hallmark. I'll assume you haven't seen any of them. And this time, that's a good thing.
The best thing is these movies inspired the Animated Series version of Batman...which is considered one of the best and most accurate Batman versions ever.

Oh god the Catwoman movie sadly I watched that dumpster fire of a movie in theaters... On the plus side I saw Batman Begins in theaters the next year
I agree, really hoping Kirby watches it with him.
Today it’s Catwoman’s 20th anniversary and is meeting some re-evaluation as a camp classic

Fun to see he followed the actual order of these reviews.
Now, when's he ever gonna finish the animated Titanic movie reviews, that's anyone’s guess.
@@thehonestreviewer7754
Speaking of which:
1. Titanic, the Legend goes On
2. The Legend of the Titanic.
In that order.
He'll probably forget about this comment when eventually gets to batman 89

He might’ve made it too silly
I refuse to consider the Schumacher films being the same continuity, they are just too wildly different from the Burton films to be the same
@theduckgoesmoo the joker was playing by Jack Nickolason .

Oh so sorry about that
Oh god I’m so sorry!! I hope she’s going to be okay! I’m glad I could help a little
Sorry to hear that. I hope she'll be okay.
If you consider Die Hard, Gremlins, and Edward Scissor hands Christmas movies, then this one in the list.
Considering he has probably not seen any of those movies, I'd guess he wouldn't.
@@thehonestreviewer7754if he hasn't reacted to it or it's Rubber, he probably hasn't seen it

Vichyssoise is a fishy sauce. It's French, typically made with leeks, potatoes and cream.
That scene always made me hungry as a kid. And I didn’t even like soup.

Danny DeVito was the best Penguin!🐧
8:00 Hey, ya guessed correctly.
2:08 - I played Santa for my Family
It was very nice
Cat woman bounces between anti-hero and anti-villain fairly often… sometimes even going full villain or hero… one of the hardest characters to pin
You're Damn Right This is a Christmas Movie and 1 of My Top Live Adaptations at That
The guy playing Batman is a young Michael Keaton. He was Beatlejuice, and was the Vulture in Spiderman
Which Spider-Man was he in?
Spider-Man: Homecoming. The first of his solo films in the MCU@@theduckgoesmoo
Spider-man: Homecoming
It’s the version from Marvel with the Avengers played by Tom Holland.
He plays the main villain the Vulture who acquires weapons and tech left behind after avenger battles and then sells it on the black market.
And now you know where the Nostalgia Critic's freak out over Foodfight came from.

11:15 Usually, depending on the story she sometimes teams up with Batman.
It's not as much as a Christmas movie as Die Hard, but still makes you feel good

Ah the 90's. When PG and PG-13 meant something far different. This film was rated PG-13, but if it was made in the 80's it would have been PG.
Honestly wish more super hero movies went these weird directions more often. Sure it’s not all in character from the comics, but at least it’s not boring or uninteresting like some movies these days.

I didn’t really like how NC made fun of this movie constantly. I mean, I know. It’s not as good as the ‘89 movie, but it’s still pretty good.
This is a Christmas movie?! How?! 🎄
The same way "Die Hard" is.
Christopher Walken is still acting, he's going to be in Dune: Part 2
Happy holidays!
"Wait her head healed?"....yeah wounds tend to do that
....just saying .....good video
Well corpses don’t heal
@@theduckgoesmoo well corpses don't just rise from the dead so .......who knows its a tim Burton movie
28:29 Well, Penguins actually practice prostitution. So this isn't outside of the realm of possibility lol
Still better as a Christmas movie than literally ANYTHING off of Hallmark.
I'll assume you haven't seen any of them. And this time, that's a good thing.
For your next Nostalgia Critic reactions you should just watch "Dead Meat vs Nostalgia Critic. rap battle. by fightmarker" instead.
If you've only seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, you have only seen what just might be the worst Tim Burton movie.
Merry Christmas
Oh yeah, can you please react to nostalgia critic cat woman review
Please do Batman 89
They tried gay bombs and bat bombs, 100% this has some realism. SOME
I love this movie so much.
Ok ! DC again
In this Case please do
Wonder Woman - Nostalgia Critic
Next week
The 90s movies are NOT an accurate representation of Batman characters
The best thing is these movies inspired the Animated Series version of Batman...which is considered one of the best and most accurate Batman versions ever.
