Fun fact: Catwoman's suit was meant to look like the stitching was coming apart after every fight to reflect that she was falling apart on the inside. At the end scene the suit is in pieces, as was she.
@@ninjasylph I think they hated how Penguin was so radically different from the comics but DeVito did great. This movie took the two Batman villains in the comics who WEREN'T ragingly psychotic and made them...well...ragingly psychotic
"Maybe you're just a screwed up sorority chick, who's getting back at her daddy for not buying her that pony when she turned sweet 16?" That line gets me every time 😂😂😂
yes he most certainly is. i can't stand any batman films not directed by him no matter how hard i try to like them, burton just raised the bar way too high...
@@hxnrytaylor No, not Nolan's! Overblown, over-long and overrated! And utterly devoid of any charm at all! Burton's gothic duo are so fabulous - and teamed perfectly with Danny Elfman's inspired music!
@@asafakiva1619 Eh i talked it, it was a really fun fast paced action movie with incredible fight choreograph for Harley and a remarkable action sequences. Not great but not that bad either, it's certantly better than 2016's Suicide Squad of course
@@jerrodbutali3990 ... Batman Returns may be better than Birds of Prey, but let's not kid ourselves here. It was and still is not very good. 1989 Batman was a far superior film. BR was a little too Burton and not enough Batman.
If this is really you in your profile picture then I am sorry that you have betrayed the Hollywood film industry by not letting them hire a manly gorgeous face (a.k.a YOU)
I just watched this masterpiece yesterday ❤. It’s a lot different then I remember when I was a kid. I am very happy and glad that I watched this masterpiece once again.🥺❤️
@@quiver5756 yeah but Anne Hathaway wasn't the main character like the 2004 version, they both did horrible jobs but it's worse in the 2004 one because it was a movie in which catwoman was the main character
Fun fact that catwoman suit had to be air tight and you couldn't use the bathroom when it was on. Pfeiffer actually put that bird in her mouth as well. And it took 3-4 hours for Devito to get into the penguin outfit. Also Devitos character as penguin is underrated as heck. The snarls, laughter and witty dialogue was done fantastically.
yeah there wasn't and won't be any Catwoman actress better than Michelle did. PS: even without her costume as Selina Kyle (after the dropout)she is sexy af(love the open curly hairdo she wore.
I love the Catwoman from the Batman Arkham video games. I hope that in a future DCEU movie they can cast someone who looks just like her and the supersuit be a combination of Michelle Pfieffer’s and the game version’s
This is what I call natural acting when it comes villianry. Yes, movies take a complicated approach but this sets you in the fucking sequence the entire time and it’s so simple and mischievous and memorable.
I remember when I first seen this in theater's all the guys where dying when they seen catwoman giving herself a bath. Michelle Pfieffer is CATWOMAN!!!! Probably the best one ever.
When i was a kid this movie made me so horny. Batman Returns brought me into puberty. Michelle Pfieffer is STILL sexy AF. like your mom's best friend type of sexy.
Michelle Pfieffer is so sexy as catwoman. Yes Anne Hathaway’s catwoman was more faithful to her comic book counterpart, but Pfieffer was much more memorable. EDIT: Wow! Thanks for the likes everyone. And all of the comments. A lot of you made some more good points as to what made Michelle Pfieffer the best Catwoman by far.
@@DivineAtheistWannabe For me both are the best. I can not say which is better Both Michelle and Halle Berry have managed amazingly to capture the idea of a cat in a woman's body, with the notorious sensuality of the character
If I'm correct, it looks like the cat suit is changing through the film. The more she dies, the more she has to fix the suit, so it gets more stitches.
Love this movie for so many reasons. I was always a fan of Marvel and DC as a 90's kid and this was one of my favorite movies, I watched it all the time. I loved the entire cast, they were great. Especially Danny Devito's Penguin... the ending made me cry as a kid because he never had any love or empathy given to him in his life. I saw that as a child and it was sad how the penguins paid their respects to him.
I felt sorry for the bird. She actually had to put the bird in her mouth! xD The actress herself slayed this role.. Sorry Anne Hathaway but no one can beat Michelle Pfeiffer: NO ONE! :D Edit: Holy.. Thanks for the likes 😂 Just to clarify, Anne Hathaway wasn't a bad catwoman, I just prefer Michelle's take on the role.
Loopy Lyds I felt bad for miss kitty getting stabbed, that was so racist! Miss Kitty is an African American! Didn't Martin Luther Kitty Jr. say that all men are created equal?
@@mikephelps9238 Oh him again? No bother. He's already history! Check it out. We're have disassembled his Batmobile and turn it into an H-bomb on wheels.
i couldn't agree more. and keaton will always be the best batman. burton's films are forever the best batman films. we would've gotten more of michelle's catwoman, more keaton, more burton if warner bros execs let burton proceed with batman 3 like he wanted and possibly 4, 5, who knows how many more! damn those execs to hell...
As a kid I always thought the Batman movies were dead serious. Well ... now I think they're hilarious. The people involved surely had the time of their life.
JEEZUS - NO Catwoman was like Pfieffer's, my gosh... I hadn't seen this in years, I'm surprised she'd didn't get more praise, perfect casting for a perfectly written character - IDC if its not lifted directly from the books, this was a great interpretation.
I recently rewatched this movie and was shocked at the amount of sexual innuendo that went over my head as a kid. Now I know why my parents were acting so uncomfortable when we watched this movie!
"Mr. Cobblepot, you are the coolest role model a young person could have" "You are the hottest young person a role model could have" The wit and the sleaziness are on point in Penguin's dialogues
Michelle Pfeiffer was the best cat woman hands down. She was cunning, sexy, and cold. (Also she's probably responsible for my kink in black leather) her and devito's chemistry is super underrated
Not gonna lie as much as I love Michelle in this, Madonna woulda been the only woman in Hollywood at that point who coulda done this Catwoman sexier. She had a much better body than Michelle did for one so she coulda filled the suit out more, plus she was in her absolute prime in 1992 in terms of looks as she had the Sex book, so she would rocked it perfectly. She wore the heavy makeups more and I see her doing the erotic stuff a little better than Michelle, she woulda been too flirty lol. They woulda have to had to tone her down a bit. She wouldn't have nailed the acting high notes Michelle did but she woulda brought a ton of people in return.. coulda been intresting.
@@efan2012 I agree. Madonna would also go on to do a ton of action stunts in her videos and concerts in the 00’s and onwards. I think that, combined with the things you pointed out, she def would’ve done a good job in this role. She’s usually a terrible actress but she’s good at a very particular type of character, and cat woman is fits!
0:45 Even though the cartoon wasn't even released yet for another 8 months, those three blondes (especially the one in green) hit home with the animated series in ways I cant explain.
In the new tv show Gotham they tried to make penguin look like he was gay and I think that hilarious because if kids come back and watch this movie they would see he’s clearly a straight pervert Lmaoooooo
I am a Batman fanatic and too this day, this is still my favourite live action Batman film. Always been more into the animation, comics and the Arkham games than the live action films. However this one has always stood out amongst any of the others for me.
honestly Danny Devito's best character performance imo, he even walks the steps like an penguin with timid tiny little steps one stair at a time! you just don't get acting like this anymore nowadays
As cool as it would be, connecting that line to the first movie creates continuity problems. Mayor Borg was mayor during the Joker's reign of terror. But he was as equally useless as the Mayor in Batman Returns.
@JhonJanor It's definitely aimed more towards the Red Triangle gang but given Gotham knows firsthand just how dangerous one clown can be, it definitely gets more people on Oswald's side politically since he's calling out the Mayor (and ones before) for letting these situations repeat.
I'm not a massive Keaton fan, nor do I find him iconic as Batman, but this film still has such charisma to it and a charm that only gets better when you get older, Danny and Michelle did such a great job in this film, especially in their costumes
@@pilummurialis6490 I think he was one of the best. Kevin Conroy is the definitive Batman. Still, I'd take Keaton over Bale. There's no mystique in Nolan's Batman, he's just a soldier. Burton's Batman is a dark creature from hell.
To be fair, ppl always ignore the fact that Halle Berry's Catwoman was written as a hero/anti-hero. If for no other reason, she shouldn't catch as much flac as she does for that role.
UploadVidZ neither Halle Berry or Hathaway have the acting chops to carry a larger than life character. Michelle Pfeiffer has always been a phenomenal dramatic actress with a huge range. This role allowed her to really shine. She played it beyond anyone’s expectations and will remain iconic for it. No one else comes close. It is not easy to pull off a character like this no matter how good of an actress you are. The layers of weakness, strength, camp, and vulnerability were all shown through Pfeiffer. Truly amazing.
Eartha was more sexy and better (I think is was because is was basically eartha being eartha) but this catwoman is refined and the suit is more provocative
Very true on the T-2 comparison. Batman Returns is better than Batman 1989, which isn't a knock. It's saying a lot. When it comes to Batman films, only Burton got it right.
@@allengreene9954 I think you should be giving Batman Begins a little more credit. Everything you like about The Dark Knight comes from Batman Begins - Christian Bale, the dark tone, the intriguing story, and the way it sets up the scene for the future, as examples. We'd probably never have The Dark Knight if it weren't for Batman Begins, and Batman would still have a tainted reputation in the cinema. Sure, you don't HAVE to like Batman Begins (I don't either really), but at least acknowledging and being thankful for where the trilogy started is important.
