Viewing Notes
Tim Burton definitely didn’t want to make BATMAN RETURNS, and you can tell. Even so, it remained one of the better Bat-films, until Chris Nolan popped his merry head up.
What’s appreciated about RETURNS is how dark it is; unfortunately some of his concepts play better than others, especially towards the end with the penguins firing rockets and what not. And frankly, it’s Burton’s fault that the franchise devolved to by adding “one more villain” to each movie.
As a kid, I loved RETURNS. As an adult, I still find more to like than not, but I just don’t have the sense of wonderment I still get from the 1989 BATMAN.
