I don't know if this is a quote from William Shakespeare but I can say a little poem that is Shakespearean. If love is so pure in heart then no force of any kind can tear that apart if blue bright Skies can show a dove then I will tell her I am her love
Geez, i forgot how heavily she took over this role. You can feel that cat-like tension: reservation, killer instinct, almost condescension, and then passion mixed with pleasure. She really was THE cat woman. Plus, she was gorgeous, a femme fatale of no rival
She said in one interview that when she dressed in the suit something feline just took over. It was not just acting, but her feeling Catwoman to the bone.
You are right. Both Anne Hathaway and Halle Berry have given a poor portrait compared to Michelle Pfeiffer. I recently watched Gotham on netflix and just realized that the creators have been heavily inspired on her catwoman to create the teen version.
@@aksharpatel2803 I feel that Anne Hathaway lacked that sultry, seductive, feline nature that Michelle Pfeiffer had in her portrayal. In my opinion Zoe Kravitz was a better Catwoman than Anne Hathaway.
Yeah, that's absolutely correct, Michael Keaton and Michelle Pfeiffer had dated each other in real life. Keaton and Pfeiffer have been nominated for Best Kiss in Batman Returns.
Here's the thing about Michael Keaton's performace is that he played two differend persons. You looking at his Bruce Wayne and you can't even think that this guy is Batman. This is something that every other actor after Keaton that took on this role was missing.
I absolutely love that every scene in Tim Burton's batman movies is an unusually effective mixture of comedy, drama, and wit, always doused in that classic dark aesthetic.
Same lol reminds me of someone at my job he gets nervous and fumbles words I think it's cute because l am attracted to him too. We are magnets. We just haven't expressed our true feelings. 💫
Michelle was perfectly casted as Selina/Catwoman. 1:52, look at her there. The raise of the eyebrow, the cat-like smile and especially her eyes. It's like she was born for this role.
Jajaja i love it. When he says. Sure. And all of sudden he realize. Shes asking a quiestion. Do you have a girl. Thats what she met. He though wrong jajaj. But i love it . nice touch!;)
jajaja ive noticee. when she ask him. aah girlfriend? and brucee was like sure... and all of sudden jajajaja he was like ooohh as in steady had one didnt work out!;) love it!;)
I can tell you the truth the only person I would never fall in love with is Vicki Vale no matter who portrays her because Vicki Vale is the definition of somebody who should keep her nose out of other people's business because all she's doing is looking for a story to increase your Fame she doesn't care about Bruce she only cared about Fame that is considered seldom Pride but when it came to Catwoman she was all over him and she could not even resist fall in love with him Bruce Wayne was no taste of forbidden fruit to her but I can tell you this if he was a taste of forbidden fruit she could have eaten him alive and he wouldn't even stop her he couldn't even put her in prison because he loves her too much there's a lot of realities where they got married and she said I do there's even a future where they have children but then of course there is one other woman I know who would have made a wonderful wife to Bruce Wayne if it wasn't Catwoman her name was Andrea she was known as The Phantom from Batman The Mask of the Phantom she was everything he could ever hoped for because all Bruce ever really wanted was to have a normal life all he ever wanted to do was walk away from the life of Batman because he found somebody that he could count on somebody he could love. Tell you the truth it is not weak to find love nor is it even weak to seek help Andrea was both of love and help and that is why even to this day she couldn't even kill Terry mcginnis's father because she knew right then and there that Terry was the symbol of everything that she and Bruce could hope for. Love is too powerful nothing in this world can destroy love not even the love that Bruce had for Catwoman or Andrea. But if I had to choose a woman to marry until I have in my life I would definitely choose Catwoman but I would love to admire a friendship with Andrea I would love to see a woman care for me as I would care for them
Dude bruce straight got hypothesized when he looked at selena before be said you might not let me kiss you. I dont blame you bruce she is beautiful as hell esp her eyes
Michelle Pfeiffer is a goddess with a unique kind of beauty. Today's A-list actresses are also beautiful, but none of them has the uniqueness of the prime Michelle Pfeiffer
4:11 Always loved Alfreds expression with Selena asking him to cover for her just after Bruce doing the same moments before,he's like. "My word! Your sounding like master Bruce!"
He took an instant liking to her the moment she asked him for "dirty limerick." It's not the type of request he usually gets and appreciated the charming intelligence behind it.
"Sickos never scare me. At least they're committed" This movie's dialogue is gold! I could live to be a hundred and five and I've never come up with a line that good!
There was once a woman named Alice Who used a dynamite stick for phallus They found her vagina,in north Carolina & Her her asshole in Buckingham palace😂
Holy cow, the level of sexual tension and chemistry is so high, you could literally cut it with a chainsaw. Damnnnn. I love how Selina is all relaxed with not a care in the world while Bruce is acting all awkward but at the same time showing far more personality than he did in the previous movie, you can clearly see that they're far more suited to one another than they realise. Unbelievable chemistry between Michelle Pfeiffer and Michael Keaton, they owned every scene in Batman Returns. I would have loved to have seen more from them in a sequel
They dated irl for five months back in 1988, before the filming of the first Batman. Producer Jon Peters suggested casting Pfeiffer as Vicki Vale. Keaton was against the idea, as he was trying to reconcile with his estranged wife, with whom he had been separated for a time. And thought the casting of Pfeiffer would hinder that 😁. Michael knew he couldn't control himself around Michelle, I guess... 🤷♀️
I'm glad this movie referenced its predecessor (bringing up Vicky). Always found it odd that Forever and B&R ignored the previous chapters. Even B&R doesn't feel like a sequel to Forever.
In Batman Forever when Dr Meridian Chase attempt to seduce Batman she mentioned Catwoman when she said "I done my homework do I need skintight vinegar and a whip?"
@@adrianharrell87 In Batman and Robin, when Batman asked Poison Ivy, "Why are all the gorgeous ones turn into homicidal maniacs?" He was referencing Catwoman in that scene.
@@africanrain18 It seems most prefer The Dark Knight. Burton's movies feel like you're in a comic book though. Nolan's Gotham City was realistic. Both are good, but Burton was more faithful to the source material. Hard to compare the 2 series.
The Dark Knight is probably the best comic book film of all-time and possibly deserved Best Picture. This might be the 2nd best though. Just two very different visions of Batman that are distinctly Nolan and Burton.
I love everything about this scene, it's perfect. The lighting, the music, the performances, the writing. It's actually one of my favorite scenes in the film. Who needs an action sequence?
How did michelle pfeiffer do this? She looks like she took 2 ecstasy pills and is high as a kite yet she is just acting here. Damn she stole the whole movie!!
I honestly loved this version of Michael Keaton's Bruce Wayne. Other versions like Christian Bale and Ben Affleck act like a rich asshole in public, but Keaton's take is very into business, he's kind, he acts a bit excited and energized when he's ready to defend himself against Joker, and he's shy around Selina. Because of that, you completely forget that this guy is Batman. That's one of the things I like about Keaton's Batman/Bruce Wayne the most.
Except Affleck’s was only an Asshole to people who Wayne would genuinely have reason to dislike. He at least took the running of his company very seriously…unlike Bale.
The younger Gotham versions of Bruce and Selina were this couple in every way! lol Both Bruces are introspective, guarded, and secretive and both Selinas playful, aggressive, and sarcastic.
Jesus H Christ Michelle looks beautiful here... I mean she is and always has been but in this scene when she's staring at him especially at 1:48... My God. I knew a girl once twenty years ago who used to stare at me like that when we were talking. The image still haunts me (in a wonderful way) to this day. Sigh...
Michelle you were the ideal catwoman, this role was taylor made for you, just as batman for michael keaton, iron man for Robert Downey Jr, wolverine for Hugh Jackman
What I love about this scene is that it plays on if they actually know that they have...costumed counterparts. Which is awesome and makes the ballroom scene even better.
Interesting how their chemistry allowed them to be themselves as much as they could without telling their whole truth. They drop the facade around eachother
lol funny thing is yes, they were a couple, but around the time of filming the first Batman movie. They broke up, apparently Keaton pursued Kim Basinger but she got with the producer, but then broke up with him and got with Prince and Michelle was cast in the second movie.
They were a real life couple for about five months back in 1988. Before the filming of the first Batman movie. He actually didn't want her cast as Vicki Vale because they had broken up and he wanted to reconcile with his wife.
The only other catwoman that could have hoped to match Michelle Pfeiffer's portrayal is Eartha Kitt... But her department is of the humorous and aristocratic kind, with her distinct voice and all lol!
They were all modelled after Michelle's Catwoman, Cheetah being the latest example of "Woman that turns a villain/heroine with sensual appeal". However, none of the actress playing them studied Michelle's performance. She plays Catwoman so conflicted, sensual, determined and animalistic I don't think many could do it.
Michelle Pfeiffer is a incredible beautyfull woman, but in this scene she realy creepy. Bruce is very attractive to here, but he should have know that there is something not right with this woman. Selina is psychotic you can see it all over her face. It's reminds me of Jack Nicholson in the shining. Already at the very beginning of that movie, during the job interview, you can see that Jack Torrance is crazy, even when he acts normal and calm. Just like Selina in this scene. Very well done by Michelle!!!
This movie absolutely captured the rather complex relationship between Bruce and Selina in a way that I think inspired Nolan when he brought Catwoman into the finale of his trilogy some years later. This particular scene was great cause both found out about the other's secret identities and then there's the frame job that interrupted things before it went any further.
They didn't found out about i. When she touched his wound he got her hand out and he never saw Selina's scar. They will find out later in the mistletoe scene during the ball.
They didn't find out until the party scene, when they repeat each others' lines. "You know mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it?" "But a kiss can be even deadlier if you mean it."
Catwoman is a dark fractured and completely haunted like all the other Batman Characters and they all had something horrible happen to them! Catwoman and Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy The Joker and Riddler are my favorites! I always liked the Batman Trilogy and thank god For Christopher Nolan who saved it! That is one huge fireplace!
Selina Kyle and Bruce Wayne on a date was ten time better than Bruce Wayne eating soup with Vicki vale. I enjoy the kiss scene until Bruce discover a scar on selina left arm.
The face of bruce at 2:30 is hilarious. Bruce and selina from the show Gotham should do this exact same kissing scene since its in the final season :'(
I love that Selina makes the first move. There's a connection she feels with Bruce that she has been missing. Also that howling wind at the beginning of this scene is so haunting.
I was a teenager when I saw this movie in cable TV if I remember correctly. At that time I totally underestimated this film. As a teenager I was looking for action, adventure, etc. Now I am in my 40s. At that time I would have rated it 7/10 probably. As far as I remember. I feel utterly foolish. This is not just an action adventure fantasy film. It is more than that. Now I rate it 9/10. I want to rate this film 10/10 at the moment but I am trying very hard not to get carried away. Michelle Pfeiffer. OMG. And Michael Keaton. What brilliant actors\celebrities!
