Ok it's fine if it's a Christmas plus this year is mad
Review Batman VS. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Batman and Harley Quinn.
Am I late Critic ? ☺️
You gotta do The live Grinch Musical.... its soooooo bad
Polar Express
*Batman opens the armory to discover that the Batsuit is pink*
"Alfred, that's cold..."
"It's revenge, sir... it's supposed to be cold."
Take all the thumbs-up.
*Mr. Freeze would like to know your location*
😱😱😱😱
It's supposed to be cold...
It's supposed to be cold...
It's supposed to be cold..
That is just too good!
"let's watch that Tim burton Christmas movie"
"a nightmare before Christmas?"
"no the other one"
Ah yes, Sweeney Todd.
Look up the date it came out, the joke works more than you might think.
Edward Scissorhands ?
"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? That has candy in it."
Holy shit I just realised, the penguin in this is similar to Moses and acts like Herod!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it's set at Jesus's birthday!!!!!!!
This....actually makes it even more fucked up
He tries to kill the children in Christmas Eve....
Its like Santa sending his helpers to kidnap children for deaths.......
Wow
@@wstine79 willy wonka was based on Santa Claus
Rewards charlie for good and the ompa loompas despite what sjws say in hindsight were not racist but actually based on Santa's elves
the cops show up at Wayne Manor
Commissioner Gordon: "So, uh, we noticed that you have several very large bat signals that shine directly into your house whenever we activate the signal at HQ..."
Bruce: "I just like to stay informed when the Batman is called to action."
Gordon: "Seems legit..Have a good evening, Bruce."
Bruce: "...I..I can't believe that worked.."
Gordon, writing in his notes in the squad car: *Totally a sex thing*
This comment and the first reply to it are perfect.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bruce's batcave is his fanboy collection of Batman stuff.
“Who decorates an antenna?”
Massively underrated line.
This movie kind of acts like a strange nexus point for Penguin. A lot of the comics pre-this movie paint him as a forgotten son of Gotham royalty on the same level as the Waynes. But after this movie, he started being portrayed as someone with delusions of grandeur, thinking himself to be on the same level as the Waynes. Regardless, I see why people were lobbying for DeVito to reprise the role for the Pattinson movie being filmed right now. He encapsulates both mindsets to this very day.
So he's basically Frank Reynolds and I am totally here for it!!!!
I’m a die hard Batman fan. But the penguin was the one villain I always thought to be the most overrated. I never cared about him in any show, comic, or anything. But Penguin in Batman Returns was always my favorite version of him. I loved how sick and disgusting he was. And unlike most people I actually kinda did feel bad for the guy. Always was in my opinion the most underrated Batman movie villain. But just my opinion!
I think the idea was that the cobblepots were a fallen family, and Penguin was obsessed with getting his family name back to the level of high of society
that’s why he has an envy attitude towards the waynes.
@@mckenzie.latham91 kind of like the Dumas family from Gotham.
@@LyleStyle87 Funny enough; speaking of Gotham, the actor that played Penguin's dad in that show, Paul Reubens, also played Penguin dad's in this film.
Anyone else notice they gave Killer Croc's back story to Penguin? Seriously, abandoned by his parents, grew up in the sewers, joined a circus, and he bites people. So this is just Danny Devito playing Killer Croc.
But with penguins
@@Jeffrey18O yeah, because Burton had to make it weirder
Killer Croc would have fit right in as a villain in the movie.
....then what's Penguin's original backstory?
@@jinhunterslay1638 Penguin has a physical deformity that makes him look more bird-like, but that didn't really affect him all that much. He's mostly just a high-class gangster, with trick umbrellas to make him more cartoony.
"...how many falls has she survived??"
You realize Catwoman has nine lives, right? It's like... a thing in the movie.
I always thought it was kept fairly ambiguous. Did she really supernaturally have nine lives, or was it all just in her head and she just got extremely lucky?
@@LordMalice6d9 that's a good question... sort of a twisted placebo effect. Either way she survives eight potentially fatal injuries and even counts down as she is repeatedly shot. I think it's in her head
@@LordMalice6d9 Near the end of the film Selina does mention she had nine lives but she was down to six (due to penguin dropping her into the greenhouse, batman knocking her off the building, and I guess when she first fell because max pushed her off the building it counts as a life lost) before Max shoots her four times leaving her with two left, and then she grabbed the power cable and used another life to fry Max. By the end she only has one life left.
@@omegamysterio3701 the first one wouldn't count as she lost her one life before gaining the nine from the cata who revived her
@@tanandalynch9441 Yes but she clearly says to Max "You killed me, the penguin killed me, Batman killed me! That's three lives down you think you got enough in there to finish me off?" I personally wasn't sure if it counts but her word is what we got so likely it does count, I imagine the resurrection she got cost a life I guess because max doesn't kill her again until he starts blowing holes in her with the gun.
"Remember those days when that would ruin a politicians career" haha so sad and so true, Doug.
#tooreal
I was conflicted between whether this referenced Nixon's Watergate, Clinton's affair or Trump's....yes, but I figure it's a full house.
Michelle Pfeiffer meltdown scene is nothing compared to Nostalgia Critic's meltdown after food fight, that had me in tears!
I just noticed that's what he was referencing in that review. He was imitating Michelle Pfeiffer lol. 😅 😅
@@CLDJ227 It was right around when Selina tossed the carton of milk at the answering machine that I realized "So this is where the Critic's freakout in Foodfight came from"
The reference was obvious to those of us who grew up on Batman Returns. He certainly put his back into it, though. Credit where it’s due.
Or his breakdown during the haunting
Or Pearl Harbor.
"how many falls has she survived?"
technically none since those falls take off one of her nine lives I believe
Yep, she technically died 8 times, not counting her first fall before transforming. If Shreck had shot her one more time, Catwoman would have remained dead forever.
Soooo.... how DID she get the "nine lives" power in this movie anyway??? The same way as Halle Berry Catwoman??
@@Eccegato More or less, except chewed on by cats instead of burped on
This movie is a fairy tale, and it's best left ambiguous whether her nine lives is actually supernatural or a poetic way of describing her uncommon luck.
That’s kinda left open to interpretation
Fun Fact: Batman and Catwoman aren't wearing masks at the masquerade because they are already disguised as Bruce and Selina.
Only us Batfans got that
I’m surprised the critic didn’t point that out.
@@chadfalardeau5396 Both characters talk about being tired of wearing masks during that scene.
@@jessedellross3245 i'm just surprised when Penguin mentions he's gonna rid all first borns, Doug do the obvious Blazzing Saddles joke, "Too Jewish."
I'll take it even further than that:
All four main characters (Bruce, Selina, Schreck, and Penguin) appear in that scene, yet out of the four of them, Schreck, the so- called "Respected monster," is the only one wearing a mask.
Heavy symbolism there, as Schreck is the only one of them hiding his true nature (His greed and cruelty, hidden behind a "Mask" of superficial philanthropy).
Danny Devito didn’t deserve the Razzie nomination he got for this movie.
It was perfect casting
Yes it was.
Razzie nomination? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!
@@colinmackinnon696 I’m dead serious
He was nominated for a Razzie? Thats as stupid as the Shining being nominated one!
*"I would've paid good money to see Batman punch penguins."*
You too?
Screw that, I wanna see him punch porgs.
@@cheerfulsatanist More like punch that, I wanna see him screw porgs.
Slowly raises hand
That alone would of been enough for me to pay to see it..
Penguins vs Porgs: Dawn Of Burton
The one thing I cant forget about this movie?
The fact that they used an orchestrated version of "Super Freak" during the Selina/Bruce dance scene.
Nice catch!
U can’t touch this! Now stop! Hammer time!
Muzak's a helluva drug.
Tim Burton: "We have Danny Devito dressed as a literal penguin, there's no way we can up the weird factor."
Christopher Walken: "Hold my Beer"
“She goes from crying to laughing”
“You’re crazy”
Idk, that how I’ve been working through my 2020.
Maybe she’s ahead of the curve?
I've laughed and cried simultaneously as far back as the late 90s. Did it so hard I passed out at the kitchen table and scared the shit out of my sister once. "Mood stabilizers" my fat ass.
@@crazysilly2914 It had some good things, yes.
Such as the Chiefs, Dodgers (both ending long droughts), and Lakers winning.
The actress who played Penguin's mom is Diane Salinger, she was the Waitress Pee-Wee met and bonded with in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Simone.
So...things with Paris dude didn't work out?
Seriously, that'd be so weird if this was on the same universe!
thanks didn't know
This movie was propably the start of every latex catsuit fetishes.
correct
No but the character does..... Yes speaking for myself.... Erm happy TMI for you ^^
Agree
It was definitely one of my earliest boners, so I'm going to guess that fetish was earned.
congratulations your a prophet
I can’t get over the fact that Schreck offers Penguin “Unlimited Poontang.”
Penguin whenever I hear him say things sexually, he comes off like a mutant pervert lusting for that "Pootang". In 1992, you can get away with this but in 2020-21 onwards it would be seen as "sexual harassment".
I still enjoy Batman Returns but watching it now almost 30 years later it is very, very fucked up but know what? It's awesome!
Holy shit, I can now see how goddamn downright poetic it was to cast Paul Reubens as Penguin’s father in Gotham.
It's been a while since I've seen this film, but I could've sworn Shrek said "Bruce Wayne? Why are you dressed as Batman?" or something like that.
He did
He did at the ending
He did. I laughed
and then Selina rightly called him a moron for not being able to add 1 + 0.
They can’t exactly show the film for every line in their review, or they’ll be demonetized.
I feel she is still the best live action cat women I've seen.
Yeah! I think she's good on to reprise her role in the Flashpoint movie.
Even tho Anne Hathaway was great to, I agree that Pfeiffer's catwoman has more personality and a more interesting backstory.
What about Eartha Kit's? Hers was pretty fun to watch.
However, I will admit this Catwoman is definitely S tier! The emotions brought to her performance were just top notch 👌🏾🔥
Hoping to God that Zoe Kravitz brings something great to the table when the new batman comes out🙏🏾
Fuck yes!
Factz i love Michelle Phiefer
I have a disagreement with Penguin's characterization.
We the audience are shown how tragic his life has been, but only because we need that context for how he manages to get through the story the way that he does. We also see what a complete monster of a person he is simply BECAUSE we're the audience. It makes us root for Batman all the more.
In-universe, the fact that his monstrous tendencies are so kept in check and under wraps while they push his tragedy as hard as they do is only done for the people's perspective. It's a plot device, used to move the story forward.
We the audience still know he's a total dickbag, but we're given all this fluff about him being sympathetic because the rest of the world in the movie is being fed it in order to get them on his side, not to get the audience on his side.
My thoughts exactly!! If he was just a complete momster we'd just have a Killer Croc side villain.
@@Jacqthepossposs Yeah; real tragic. Shame that basically every adaptation portrays Killer Croc as little more than a brute. I get it; he's not the brightest bulb in Batman's Rouges Gallery, but could we maybe see more to him on a character level than just a thug?
I'm honestly surprised that, as far as I know, the show _Gotham_ never involved Killer Croc. That could've been a perfect opportunity for showing audiences his origins.
@@Jacqthepossposs I see. I probably should mention that I don't read comics.
@@Jacqthepossposs Because I'm not counting comics as "adaptations"; I'm counting them as source material. I thought that was clear. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Interestingly, Tim Burton didn’t want to do another Batman cause of how much the first Batman became a “studio” Batman. He only came back after the studio agreed to give him carte blanche.
And WB got what they wanted. At the time, they felt nobody could make a Batman movie besides Burton that even when he left to do Edward Scissorshands, they decided to wait until he'd make his decision. Meanwhile, Burton was done with Batman. He said he was disappointed on the film, feeling it was a bit dull and the aforementioned studio notes like Prince, Batman's Nike shoes, a ninja goon, and a Phantom of the Opera inspired climax in the church. And suddenly having all this big attention from fans and non fans had to be scary for a once Disney animator. He questioned "As long as Batman was on the poster, would it even matter who directed the damn thing?"
According to the screenwriter, Wesley Strick, he revealed Burton told him he was sick and tired of Superhero Movies and compared them to Chinese water torture and he asked him, if that's how he felt then why is he doing the sequel and Burton revealed he learned a lot since then and wanted to improve himself and make the mistakes he felt he made in the first film. Which also meant redesigning Gotham, the batsuit, the sets, and gadgets with new designers. It became a point that Burton jokingly wanted to call it "Batman" again instead of a sequel. So much so, you don't really need to watch the first movie to see this one. You can tell this was much closer to what he imagined a Batman movie. He also wrote a treatment back in 1985 that had many elements from Returns, Joker wanting to be mayor from a shady businessman (Rupert Thorne), a wintery Gotham, similarly described locations like the City Hall and the giant tree, or Joker's headquarters having spiral stairs like Penguin's, and even Batman gliding in the sky.
But after the movie came out, nobody knew how to feel about it. Kids and parents didn't know how to feel with this dystopian fairytale style Batman with arthouse levels of weirdness like Penguin pucking black slime, cats chewing Selina's fingers while her eyes roll back, or Penguin biting a guy's nose off. And an ending that's a bit downbeat with everyone dead and Bruce left alone on Christmas. (Hurray?) But it was something WB wanted all along. But this was before reboots were a thing and it was too early to end the series. But they were left clueless for a third movie and weren't sure if they wanted Burton to come back and only had one meeting with him to talk him out of the project before Burton caught on what they were trying to say and he left. They were exactly how Burton felt from the beginning before he directed a second movie; "As long as Batman was on the poster, would it even matter who directed the damn thing?"
It may be batshit crazy, but every character in this movie is so well-acted.
Hah Bat
This movie kicks ass. Nolan was good, but he never made anything fun on his Batman movies.
You just repeat what they say in the video :l
"Master Bruce, open the door"
"Can't Alfred, taking a batshit"
BATshit crazy ahaha...ha , I’ll see my self out
22:00 "Maybe the OTHER Birdman who fights off Spider-Man but is ALSO Batman!!"
I don’t know why people don’t remember or rather forget this movie it’s freakin awesome and great sequel to batman and probably the only time we get good Batman movie for a long time
There would another great batman film one year later with Batman Mask of the Phantasm!
live-action*
Dark knight, Batman begins?
@@filmaticpictures9693 that doesn’t happen until the early 2000
This was SUCH a good Christmas movie for this year. I'd even go so far as to say, the best choice.
People in these movies either know Bruce is Batman or think he’s trying to kill Batman
Every time that they find out that the Batcave is underneath stately Wayne Manor, they automatically think that means that Bruce Wayne is Batman. You know, people, Batman could be renting that cave from Bruce. They went to the same college.
@@LadyOnikara Lego Batman with Joker thinking Batman and Bruce Wayne are roomates,best. joke. ever.
It's been a hell of a year everyone, just wanted to say:
*Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.*
Keep the change, ya filthy animals.
(Shoots gun one more time) "And a Happy New Year!"
You've been smoochin' with my brother
It's just been a glorified flu season. Meh, expected worse.
And a happy new year of dround children
Whenever I see Penguin’s funeral scene and the ending with Catwoman’s cat I guess adopted by Bruce always make me sad and sometimes cry
I like penguin's funeral
Funerals are attened by friends and family
But he has no friends (the circus crew are more like henchmen) and his human family is dead (plus they tried to drown him as a child)
So the only ones who truly cared about oswald was the penguins
now all we are missing is a review of the original batman movie.
and the Nolan trilogy
And from Superman is Superman 3
1989 or 1966?
About the end: It’s a shame that Channel Awesome couldn’t really do the Christmas pic together in one room due to the COVID pandemic, but at least they did what they could to make it happen. I hope that one day, in the new year, they are all allowed to return to their headquarters. 2020 has been a depressing year.
MERRY CHRISTMAS CHANNEL AWESOME... 🎅🏻🎄☃️❤️
We hope so too! Merry Christmas!!
@@ChannelAwesome Merry Christmas! Thanks for getting us through the year!
Just out of curiosity who's the guy between Jim Jaroz and Barney Walker? Because I think remember seeing him at the Nutcracker 3D review but also the end of it when everyone watches to the ending of the review of The Christmas Tree with both of Doug's parents with him
@@gianinabadami5341 Malcolm Ray.
@@ChrisNeufeldMusic Huh? Malcolm is on the left next to Rob Walker and Brad Jones. I'm talking about the guy on the right in between Barney Walker and Jim Jaroz
10:19 Alfred: It's supposed to be cold
Wait, why did they remove the plot about Penguin and Shreck being brothers? That would have fixed so many of the problems. Penguin wants revenge for his parents favoring Shreck and trying to kill him, and Catwoman teams up with him because Shreck tried to kill her. There, that connects so much without feeling forced.
The real Question is why would the people allow the Penguin to run for Mayor. He bite a guys nose??????
I still love how Andrew impersonates the Walken accent and manner of speaking so it’s even more believable that his character is that guys son.. it’s just perfect really. Honestly probably the best part of the movie.
17:14 - Thank you for pointing out (and finally naming!) the "Rounding the Corner" music!
I suppose one could say that the "first born son" thing still makes a kind of sense if you see The Penguin as a Moses analogue- complete with being cast into the river as an infant. Oh, and DeVito apparently also ate a significant piece of whole raw fish for the part, which isn't quite as remarkable as the Pfeiffer bird thing, but still suggests a certain level of commitment.
Rather an anti Moses. Moses was sent down the Nile to save his life while Penguin's parents tried to drown him. And beasts adopt him not a caring princess. And besides Moses and the firstborn dying in the plague there may be some king Herod killing the infants inside as well. It's the ugly part of the Nativity...
the main difference between Catwoman and Penguin is he eats, while Catwoman spares. Infant Penguin kills the cat, while Catwoman did not eat the bird.
I always interpreted it as an act of revenge by proxy. Oswald was a firstborn and his parents tossed him away, but he can't get revenge on them because they're already dead. Therefore, since his own parents tried to kill him, he will now kill all of the firstborns in the city.
Actually (And it's online now) Devito talks about this and he loved it. He said he loves Sushi, but this was really fresh, and he loved it.
13:52
Lol, I still have a McDonald's promo mug for Batman Forever.
Same! 😂
I recently found an old hot wheels version of the Bat "missile" or whatever they called it.

The way I always took the Penguin's master plan was that this is a dark take on the story of Moses. Penguin's parents also put him in a basket in the river, where he is found by others and raised as their child. Then, as an adult, he tries to murder the firstborn of Gotham, which was the final plague that broke the Pharaoh's resolve.
And here we goooooooooooooo...another Nostalgia Critic Christmas Special!!
That Christmas picture was way too wholesome for this video. I love it.
Glad you liked it!
17:00 Doug: "Am I suppose to be turned on by this?"
It's Michelle Pfeiffer.
The answer is always yes.

The thing about non-Christmas movies being called Christmas movies is simply: "Are you ok with not talking or acknowledging this film for 11 months of the year?"
With Die Hard? Yes
Wha
I watch The Santa Clause in the middle of the year, pretty sure I can watch die hard in those 11 months
@@colinpierce1788 Good thing since Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie.....Just passively having a story happen to be at some point in December does not make it a Christmas movie...It just happens to be Christmas, its NOT a Christmas party, it was a party for a big deal that had just been signed, there are ZERO Christmas decorations anywhere in the building.. Hans isn't doing it because its Christmas, he just wanted to get into the vault period the time made zero difference.....Writing Ho, Ho, Ho now I have a machine gun is the closest thing to a December reference.
Batman Returns actually takes place around Christmas, Christmas is mentioned ALOT, it doesn't just happen to be the time frame that the movie is set in.
Ths film that somehow got a happy meal tie in .
It gets better when Michael Schumacher adds drive thru.
And that’s why Burton was kicked out and Schumacher was brought in
I got the impression that the Penguin didn’t understand why his parents did what they did even though we understand that he was a monster.
Not everyone's 100% perfect all the time.

All those strange Selina/Catwoman scenes definitely have awakened something in me back then.
No wonder all my girlfriends turn out to be crazy.
That’s a first.
23:12 Well, actually, they patched the whole "first born son" part with the speech the Penguin gives in front of the cemetery: "I was their first born, but they treated me like number two"...him making a toilet joke with such gravitas and everyone around him almost weeping pretty much sums up the twisted farce this movie aimed to be...and mostly succeeded at.
I love how in the Lego Batman Movie the design of the Penguin is based off the Penguin from Batman Returns
The Penguin totally works for me. The movie has its lengths, but I do love it.
Lengths?
Sadly, Penguin's death was the first time I cried at a movie.
Poor guy.
I just felt so sad for the penguins. Oswald was basically their adopted son.

Thanks for watching!! Merry Christmas!!
1:27 - 1:39 ...my sentiments EXACTLY. Not only did they have Robocop, Terminator, & Alien toys...Robocop & Rambo had TV shows. Again, RAMBO had an animated series!
I saw 'Returns' summer of '92 & LOVED every minute of it. I remember looking forward to a Burton-led sequel; the Happy Meal fallout was beyond ridiculous. Thank God we got a soft sequel of sorts that fall with Batman the Animated Series
Spoiler: this nostalgia critic is not sponsored by stamps.com
(Just a fact I love your critics idk why but your videos keep me alive)
@Steven Fontaine why? i admit some nostalgia critic episodes were really bad especially the ones that mostly used skits (like The Wall) but he's definitely improved over the months, using less skits and giving his actual thoughts on the movies instead of just insulting it all the way through.
@@daboi8734 that's true ngl. I just like the humor and I agree very often what he says about the movie.
For a random piece of trivia: when reading the "Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm A Supervillain" series, I was visualizing Michelle Pfeiffer as Claire's mom, Misty Lutra aka the Minx (basically a Catwoman analog with something akin to Veela Allure who instead of flirting with only one hero "flirted" with basically everyone before retiring to raise her daughter of uncertain paternity). Admittedly she wasn't very central (the majority of her scenes were in the last book) but still.
I just love the fact that WB just gave Burton a blank check and said make whatever the hell you want.
8:28 for all you sickos who are like me and DIE LAUGHING every single time Doug / Critic impersonates Walken saying “knock knock” and then proceeds to push Pfeiffer out the window 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the "McDonald's comment."
I was an Edgar Allen Poe/Goosebumps kid. No, I didn't have many friends. In any case, I've always thought Tim Burton's dark and gritty vision of Gotham was spot on for what was essentially the dark and gritty make up of Bruce Wayne's world. Very much like Dark Knight, that came back and saved the franchise.
Here’s a question I want answered: why is Penguin’s blood red in some scenes but black in others?
My guess, he's suffering from a serious gum disease that discolors the blood oozing out of his mouth, as it's mixing with god knows what filth, and decay is in his mouth.
It's black when he's completely lost his humanity, and just become a monster.
The red blood was from the guy he bit in the nose, unless I'm forgetting a moment where the Penguin bled red.
@@DeepEye1994 near the end of the movie when he's dying, he's bleeding red from a head injury red, while oozing black blood from his mouth.
Pretty much the reason I suspect gum disease.
Oh yeah. Finally. NC is reviewing Batman RETURNS. One of the best Tim Burton interpretations of the Batman trilogy since the 1989 Batman movie. My personal favorite Batman movie next to Die Hard. This movie like Die Hard Lite WITH Tim Burton directing it.Scary, disturbing yet interesting and awesome at the same time.
"One of the best Time Burton interpretations of the Batman trilogy since the 1989 Batman movie."
Uhh... He only made two Batman movies, Batman '89 and Batman Returns lol
@@Mecha120 Ik. Because besides his first one magnificent, the second one was his second best Batman movie that was good besides the first one. You know what I'm saying.
In fairness, Michelle Pfeiffer was a great Catwoman, even better than Halle Berry.
Mi cat is a better catwoman than halley berry
EVERY Catwoman is better than Halle Berry.
Sorry to gush but he just showed the 90s Addams family in A Tim batman review. I am crying a little in my joy
two of my favorite movies.
I personally love the relationship Bruce and Selena have. The movie shows how crazy and similar they are. I love the game they have, pretending they don't know their secret identity.
“What holiday film connects with this year”
*shows the most gruesome scenes from the film*
“A little too happy”
No no no compared to this year, its the movie version of the Disney character Snow White
I mean....if Die Hard is considered a Christmas movie....
It's been confirmed already.
leathal weapon is another good Christmas movie
It is! It is a Christmas action movie.
@@torquetheprisoner Yeah that too.
Except Christmas isn’t really the focus
While I was surprised and did really enjoy Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman, and Julie Newmar’s version will always hold a place in my heart, Michelle Pfeiffer’s is still one of my favorite interpretations of the character. And out of all the film versions of the character, the interpretation of Catwoman that feels the most dangerous.
A lot of these actresses have done amazing jobs of portraying their own interpretation of Catwoman (except for Hailey Berry). And because of that I am excited to see what Zoë Kravitz's Catwoman will be like and how she will put her own passion into the role.
@@KairuHakubi Oh of course she could've been seen as a good Catwoman, but of course the movie didn't give her to respect or treatment she deserved. She did take the criticism and hate like a champ though, she even accepted an ironic award for how bad of a film this was and gladly accepted, that's the type of self confidence people aspire to have.
@@milkiassamuel780 I like Zoe Kravitz in what I’ve seen her in so far, somehow I missed her getting cast as the new Catwoman! Is she going to be playing the role in that in-development Rob Pattinson “Batman” film or some other project?
@@Genethagenius Yes, Zoë Kravitz has been cast indefinitely as the Catwoman/a.k.a. Selina Kyle of the Robert Pattinson Batman film and future films as well. She appeared in the films DC Fandom teaser trailer, and she looks incredible and has a certain Catwoman Year One career vibe to what we see of her in the trailer.
Good video man but 2things
1st this is my favorite Batman movie of all..
2nd the no killing rule was born after Keaton, in the animated series, as a cartoon rule for kids.. Generally in comics batman kills👍 with the original rule to Never use a GUN, only gadgets👍.. And ofcourse as a last choice✋..
I used to love this movie, until a guy pointed out that Penguin should have been the business guy instead of Shrek, and Killer Croc should have been the circus freak that lived in the sewers instead of Penguin. He was right, and I can't see the movie the same way again.
To be fair, Killer Croc made his debut in an Batman comic book in 93 and this movie came out in 92; which is before Killer Croc was made up.
@@jjc4924 Killer Croc goes back to 1983.
Yeah, Bennett had a point there.
Shin. Oh right. Sorry. I was thinking of Bane. My bad. I still love this movie though. I guess they were going to usually classic villians before the newer ones came.
24:12 Just noticed the guy in the backround has a Jay Garrick's Flash helmet
"I wonder if Wonder Woman has this problem"
(looks to Cheetah) I won't say no...
Kinda don’t get it
@@jaredcoleworld3650 the cheetah in Wonder Woman 1984 is basically Michelle's Catwoman
If people thought Tim Burton's Penguin was too dark for kids, look up his designs of Brainiac for the canceled Superman movie he was almost supposed to make.
Brainiac was also going to be in the cancelled Superman Returns sequel, which would've had more action in it.
Wish we got it, as we're still waiting for his big screen debut. And I wish Returns had the action as well.
4:09 You mean Tim Burton could've had Zangeif fight Batman?
*BRILLIANT*
27:04 if you look closely, you can see the wire pulling him into the water.
As disgusting and messed up as the penguin is, he's still a saint compared to Frank Reynolds. God bless Danny DeVito.
@@crazysilly2914 Frank's the man in the COUCH !
@@crazysilly2914 Frank Reynolds was Devito's character in "Always Sunny in Philidelphia", though he was not a canonical child murderer!
@@crazysilly2914 its a tv sitcom about a group of crappy people trying to live their lives in bizaare circstances. You can find clips on RUclips.
@@JWeb66 not creepy people, but sociopaths, alcoholics, you name the dysfunction, they have it. And canonically, he's done worse. He fed people to people, children to people and people to pigs, in his sweatshops in Vietnam. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
The Critic just saved 2020. Happy Holidays!
12:57 Penguin says "Burn baby! Burn!" Could have been a good time to cut to Kimberley Guilfoyle at the RNC.
I love that “MEME ME” meme
while showing catwoman at the end was a last minute addition, it was always planned that she would survive.
In fact, it's kind of subtly implied that she didn't die. Each time max would shoot her or she'd have a lethal wound at the end of the movie, she would count up. 1... 2... etc. up to 8. She was killed 8 times, and a cat has 9 lives.
Problem was, this was a bit too subtle for most people. So they just added a scene that explicitely shows her alive.
Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman is pretty much like Heath Ledger's Joker, awesome acting and very memorable.
Dude, imagine a world where both characters were in the same movie?
18:05 its Michelle Pfeiffer in leather what straight man wouldnt find her attractive?
25:11 "I AM ACTING!!"
4:05 wait a minute that suit that hair dear lord I figured out who beetlejuice was when he was alive
A Christmas film that follows the "Die Hard" rule
That's what that is.
Penguin wasn't a tragic or sympathetic character. That was the point. He was pretending. It's highly suggested he actually killed his parents since it's revealed he murdered children before and he knew who his parents were beforehand.
He may have known who his family was based on the basket he was left in, but there is a tragic element for example the reason he drowns children is because his own parents cast him into a river hoping he would drown and or die...and so his self hatred and anger from that experience has affected his decisions.
Yes, critic didnt get it
The amount of times my dad has yelled about Batman Returns being a Christmas movie this week is crazy
This is my favorite Batman movie. I remember how completely blindsided by the insanity I was the first time I saw it in the theatre. Then I went back to make sure I saw what I saw and it wasn't an acid flashback. lol. Brilliant and flawed. I love it. 😁
