    /* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */
    Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul and this video we're breaking down Batman Returns.
    -
    Now incase you missed our last video, there I talked about how I grew up with Batman 89. My mum basically taped it off the tv but would stop recording everytime it got violent. So I had a sort of cut up version of the film and though I still loved it, I didn't get the full version of it until many years later.
    On the other side of it this was the actual official VHS my mum and dad got me. Which...yeah at 5 years old might not have been the best thing looking back.
    However I was absolutely in love with this film as a kid and I've lost count of how many times I've watched it. This was the Batman that raised me and I can't wait to journey back through it.
    So come with me as we break down the movie and talk about all the hidden details within it. This will cover the easter eggs and making of trivia and basically everything you need to know about the movie.
    With that out the way, thank you for clicking this, now let's get into Batman Returns.
    -
    So the title Returns is of course a staple within film franchises. Beyond that though it's also a big part of Batman's history. When they originally were pitching Batman they used Frank Millers Dark Knight Returns as a basis to demonstrate the tone. This was a time in which Batman was seen as camp due to the 66 tv show and the word Returns also played into some of the scripts.

    Between Batman 89 and Batman Returns, I think this is the better movie. Jack Nicholson as Joker was perfect, but I think Devito's Penguin was just as iconic, and Pfeifer 's Catwoman is still the best live action interpretation of the character BY FAR.
    Also, late 80s, early90s movies like Bettlejuice, Batman Returns, and Addams Family absolutely gave young me a lifelong attraction to goth girls and girls with a darker, more sardonic personality.

      You’re not wrong about Catwoman. I was about 12 when this came out and WHOA. By FAR!! I’ll fight you on Penguin though. This was a RADICAL change from what he was before. That’s fine, but I distinctly remember thinking he was just pretty gross. And didn’t offer much more. That’s me. It’s actually thrilling to hear the character has other fans though because it took away my interest in the character literally until the new show. Which I’m still shocked I like so much.

    I vividly remember how hyped I was for this sequel. Pt 1 came out when I was 9 or 10 and so I was about 12/13 when this was coming out in 92. The notion of it happening in winter cold was a nice change and the posters in movie theaters featured each character close up. Penguin, Bats and Catwoman. It’s hard these days to make people watch these movies. They’re def not as amazing as they were in 1990 - Action and costumes have advanced far. But nostalgia be damned, I’ll never forget these films. Thx for the thorough breakdown.

      There are many more nods that could have been added. I think this video could easily be twice as long.
      The entrance to the Batcave is an iron maiden - a legendary symbol of torture - because, metaphorically, being Batman is a torture for Bruce Wayne.
      The red triangle is a real-life symbol of anarchism.
      The statue of Atlas at Gotham Plaza evokes - for me, at least - Ayn Rand's ATLAS SHRUGGED. In that novel, wealthy entrepreneurs are depicted as the true heroes of society. The Shrecks certainly want the people of Gotham to view them in such a light.

    Ever noticed the connection between the two instances where youve said
    'i dont know why they said it?'
    Theyre both to do with the films image system of temperature- Catwoman represents Hot (fire, explosions, hell here) whereas Penguin represents Cold (cold blooded, sewers, raw fish). They represent the two sides to Bruces psyche and how differently he has to act to resolve each of them. When Bruce ate the cold fish soup, he was researching Penguin and when he talked to Selina, she said it was going to be a 'hot' time in old town tonight. When Batman finds Penguin hes living in a near igloo yet when hes with Selina, they talk in front of a fire.

    Batman: The Animated Series score during the opening introduction was inspired by Batman Returns. A lot of the musical score from Batman: The Animated Series conducted by the late Shirley Walker were inspired by the first 2 Burton Batman films. David Lea was the lead stunt double for Michael Keaton who helped Keaton in preparation for the role of Batman. Keaton said he had to learn kickboxing for the role. David Lea also went on to appear in Family Matters fighting Steve Urkel as Bruce Lee with the late Jason David Frank appearing as another goon who was the Green, White, Zeo Ranger V, Turbo and Dino Thunder ranger. One of the episodes in Batman: The Animated Series "The Mechanic" with The Penguin hijacking the Batmobile was because of Batman Returns where you see The Penguin hijacking Batman's batmobile for his own amusement. The last conversation I had with David Lea was via email.

    I'll never forget riding our boards down to the Inner Harbor in Baltimore from the neighborhood I grew up in to go see Batman 89. It was me and my good friend Joe. It was opening day that Thursday and we skipped school to see the 12pm showing. This was better then going to see RoboCop. When the Batwing flies up into the moon was insane, everyone was standing up and cheering and clapping cause it was just brilliant,such a great scene. That movie was frickin awesome at the time of its arrival. On the verge on losing our childhood as a early teen, the awesome 80's were on their way out and everything in the world was changing dramatically for a city kid like me. Those were great times with friends and family it seems like a thousand years ago back then. Maybe when I die I can go back and live the 80's for eternity. LoudLove

      1) I was a nutcase Batman fan after the 89 film and “collected” Batman $hit. Thanks, parents. I don’t know how you coped with that. 2) The toys were weird because, as mentioned, the film wasn’t super kid-friendly!!

    I love absolutely everything about Batman Returns. The pitch-black humor, the Christmas setting, the cast, the action, the pacing...
    My mom had zero interest in sitting through a comic book movie, but this one left her breathless with laughter ("Shit, I picked a cute one" and "Does this mean we have to start fighting now? " made us both explode into giggles every time). Maybe that's a bad metric to gauge a Batman movie, but it's not as though we were mocking it; the script simply managed to navigate between brooding and violent and quirky and unhinged.

    This was my fave Batman film when I was a kid growing up. Even at 5 yrs old in the 90s, I gravitated towards the dark, macabre, gothic themes. I saw how dark the Dark Knight and its lore was. Such mature subject matter and thematic storytelling. Name a character that its rogues/villain gallery is just as popular and universally known as the character himself…..go ahead and, I’ll wait….i see batsy as active nihilism (like myself) whereas i see Superman as hopeless Optimism. Different sides of the same kind.

I'm still confused about the happy meals though; wasn't this film a 15?
