I love this movie! It's my favourite Batman. Catwoman is amazing and so is the Penguin. It's darker and quirkier than the first. I actually like the story better too... and I like Michelle Pfeiffer and Michael Keaton together. Great soundtrack too

dude WTF after 20 year people still could not figure out the puzzle that the penguin in this movie was not actually raised by the penguins he was raised by the circus people who used the abandoned zoo's arctic segment to keep penguins for their shows

At the time I was more of a Burton fan (and, well, a Michelle Pfeiffer fan) than a Batman fan, so of course I really liked this one.

This is one of my favorite not Christmas movies to watch around Christmas time. Like 'Die Hard' and...well, Die Hard.

This is my favourite Batman film and one of my favourite Christmas films

I love it save for Penquin's grossness. Still more good than bad. I would have nominated Pfeiffer for best supporting Oscar btw: brilliant work!

Darker, quirkier, but in it's own way just as camp.

1:22 - I always wondered if the fact that all the computers in this film were Apple //'s were product placement.

_The_ "dark" Batman film - much ahead of its time!

I remember seeing this at the cinema on release (yes, I'm that old), and being vaguely dissatisfied... but not sure why. Later re-watches I found I really enjoyed it, more than the original 1989 movie. Or maybe that was just accepting it for what it was, not a Batman movie by Tim Burton, but a Tim Burton movie that had Batman in it. Also Michelle in that Catsuit, I mean, c'mon!

I have gone back n forth, but overall this is a good film to me. Lots of interesting scenes, even though I originally didn't like Penguin's being raised by Penguins in a sewer etc etc. Great Sega CD and SNES games.

Personally, I liked this one even more than the first Batman.

I think this IS still The best Batman movie.

Not sure who decided there needed to be two origin stories in each film.

Tbf Batman was sidelined in favour of Joker in the '89 film. Never thought it was a good decision for that one - Batman's whole arc in that film feels like it should have been him initially setting out for revenge against Napier but slowly come to realise that his role as Batman is about justice. It might even have given this film a bit more weight, especially with him insisting that Catwoman hand Shreck over to the police. That said, I feel Batman in this one acts much like the detective in a film noir: while he's the central figure/integral to the story, he's more a catalyst for these other characters/the mystery around him. Personally, I think Batman Returns is a much better film. It's absurd (why does Batman take off his mask when Shreck is standing a few feet away from him? Even if he'd been knocked out it'd have made more sense) but the cinematography/characters are so exaggerated you go with it.

You seem to be lacking comments so here to feed the stats. P.S. loved the vid.

I like that this is bizarre and creepy

4:56 😂

I saw this movie in the theater

3:57 I just love that phrase "fell pregnant". Sounds VERY painful to me! It always seems to describe an unwanted pregnancy, with a little tinge of immorality. It's no worse than "she got herself pregnant", however.

Jump street pun. Not bad.

👍👍

Anybody who thinks Batman would need to return doesn't understand the character. Bruce Wayne will dress up in the cowl until he no longer can. And that's why he had Dick, Jason, and Tim. Also, the Penguin is not a mutant. He's just a guy with a weird walk. Who somehow became a major criminal. The Riddler either wants to prove he's smarter than Batman, or his guilty conscience wants to get caught. But he doesn't want to kill people. Not like the Joker.

Now review the Halle Berry Catwoman. LOL.

Do the schumacher ones if you havent already.

I loved this movie as a kid much more than the first one, largely because I was female heroines starved girl and Catwoman was so great a character.

There are plenty of people (myself included) that only enjoy Batman because of his villains. Bruce Wayne is boring, Batman presents himself are a twisted Boy Scout….YAWN. Tim Burton did the right thing not focusing on him but using his name for promotion. This film was always gonna be about the villains….a first of its kind.

Best Batman live action movie beside Dark Knight. The sets are awesome, the score is great, awesome cinematography. i love the athmosphere in the movie. The villains and the action get enough screentime (unlike the first Batman) and it has a good pace (unlike the first). Michelle Pfeiffer ist still the best character. De Vito´s Penguin was more interesting than the bland version from the comics.

Really? I think BR cd be better than 89

It’s silly. Not a fan of Danny DeVito or Michelle Pfeffermusse. On a purely superficial level, the former is too ridiculous and the latter is too skinny.

It's an okay movie, but was too much of a "Burton" movie and not enough of a Batman movie. Producer Jon Peters reign in his quirkiness on the first movie which is why it was better than this one.
