One thing that doomed "Batman Returns" was Tim Burton originally planned to play up the terror of the children in the cage dangling over the toxic sewage, showing the terrified little kids screaming & crying as the cage lowered slowly into the toxic waste. But the studio put its foot down when it came to terrified toddlers, so the cage remained stationary and in the background. The focus was switched to the corny penguin army, with rushed re-shoots, but even then the penguins only committed property, and not a single citizen of Gotham suffered so muxh as a scratch. That's when Burton passed on his option to do a 3rd Batman movie.

The thing with Catwoman is that it's supposed to be ambiguous whether she's supernatural and dies several times or just is just lucky and dies once at the end. The last shot with her showing up before the credits kind of ruins it but that was a studio addition that Burton didn't want.

@philmenges9887 Жыл бұрын

I felt the same way, re her showing up. And I wonder if the black cat they stopped to pick up in the alley at the end was supposed to be Selina (as an _actual_ cat)--or was it merely symbolic?

I too dislike this movie. Yes, the script is crap, but what I really hate is just the look of it. It was a different cinematographer from the first one (who was the brilliant Roger Pratt). The new guy (Stefan Czapsky) makes everything look cheap and small, and the colour palette is that of a frozen corpse. That cold, ugly look might suit an arty drama set in a concentration camp, but it's bizarrely inapt for a Batman movie.

@philmenges9887 Жыл бұрын

I wholeheartedly agree with your dislike of this movie. However, my primary focal point of disgust was on that unimaginably _ridiculous_ insertion of the grotesque Penguin character. Unlike The Joker (in a previous Batman), you don't "love to hate him"; you just wish he (the Penguin) wasn't there.

What a great re-edit 👍 On their point about the sets, I recollect that the first film was done in England, while the second movie was filmed in L.A. and they had to rebuild the sets at a much much smaller scale because the backlot was so much smaller over there. If I recall correctly they did replicate the basic layout but it was incredibly shrunken compared to the first film.

Fully agree on the scale - given the success of 89 Batman you expect a bigger budget for the sequel - and maybe they got one but it wasn't spent on Gotham. It feels smaller - and where are they? Lighting the tree at Gotham Plaza is one thing but the Mayor does press conferences there. They established City Hall in the first one, shouldn't those be done at City Hall? I get they wanted it to look different, and they could have put a new twist on the City Hall they established in 89 - but instead everything happens in or near this one city square.
