Batman Returns

Overall spoiler free review This is such a good sequel that I personally think is only just about below the first one. The character’s backstories once again are so much fun and fit the Burton style that this film carries. The Gotham remains to be a top 2 Gotham. The Gotham in this and The Batman are both so incredible for their own reasons.  Possible spoiler warning The character designs in this are all absolutely amazing. The Penguin is easily the best penguin appearance IN MY OPINION. Comparing the final look to the original sketch shows how accurate to Burton’s mind these films are.  The backstory of characters in this are so much fun to me. I love the cat woman scene and I adore the idea that penguin is a tragic villain as he was thrown out by his parents for having deformations. Stories like this fit these films and characters as Tim Burton always said that he finds monsters to be misunderstood. The designs are so close to Burton’s mind and that god for that because the designs are some of my favourites. The stitching on the cat woman suit works so well for me and how could I not mention the Penguin who has this hideous design that makes him the best on screen penguin I have ever seen. Both their personalities are captured in their designs. Batman’s suit is also one of, if not, my favourites as I LOVE the yellow. The cinematography in these films is great. The acting in these films is suprisingly brilliant from some people. Once again the best performance was from the main villain although DeVito’s Penguin has NOTHING on Jack Nicholson’s Joker.
