The Fairy-Tale Fever Dream Of Tim Burton’s Batman Movies 

Batman Returns is my personal favourite Batman film and I think a lot of that is down to the incredible production design of Gotham and of course Danny DeVito

You've touched on something very interesting in terms of the parallels between The Joker and Batman, during the portion of the video where you refer to mirrors. The Joker uses mirrors to check his own reflection because, as you say, he's a narcissist (to such an extent, his goal in life is to transform everyone and everything in his image, incuding his mistress, the consumers of Gotham, and even artwork), whereas Batman uses (one-way) mirrors to keep tabs on others, rather than check his own reflection, because his ultimate goal is to *stop* others from ending up like himself (i.e. an orphan who lost his family to criminal violence). This theme is partly carried into the next film, where once again Batman's goal is to *stop* others experiencing his own tragic fate (e.g. rescuing the children from trauma, hoping The Penguin finds his parents alive, trying to prevent Selina from becoming a vigilante), whereas The Penguin's goal is to make others suffer just as he has (i.e. by drowning Gotham's children). And they say these films aren't deep and are simply all style and no substance...

16:28 Did you catch Alfred moving the tray out of the way after he fell so that it wasnt in front of the door? I love random left in bloopers lol

The pretty girl from 55-1:03, yowza! I was 18 in 1989, so I'd say she and I are probably pretty near in age. Batman is my favorite, he and Spider-Man. I love all the Batman movies, the first 4, the next 3, and I can't wait for number 8, "The Batman"!
