Was flipping channels this afternoon and landed on it. Haven't seen it in a few years even though its sitting on my shelf so I decided to watch it. And no, this doesn't mean it's a bad movie for you nikkas who will get in your feelings...it's just so damn weird:

Batman caps at least two people and blows one up, and he had no problem whatsoever targeting a woman with the batarang



Penguin openly molests two women and is trying to rape and or fukk catwoman every damn time they're on screen together and even hit her with the "you sent out all the signals! I don't even like you anymore!" steez. He really can't be on camera with a woman without trying to see what that thang smell like and in the worst way.



Alfred is suddenly Funkmaster Flex

Catwoman almost ate a bird

The Ice Princess supposedly gets bludgeoned with a batarang (commissioner gordon shows its stained in blood) but the next time we see her, she's perfectly A OK...until she gets thrown off a roof. Also, Catwoman gets pushed out of a building only to be resurrected by cats, and thrown off two buildings, once even by batman :russ::picard:

Penguin caps a clown and of course his ultimate plan involves killing all the first born sons, getting his Bible on.

Who is this movie for?:russ: In retrospect, I can see why it had all the outrage because there's enough in it to say it's certainly not a kids movie they should be selling with happy meals but it doesn't take itself seriously enough to be a movie strictly for adults because there's shyt like a poodle walking around with a grenade in her mouth and dynamite sticks with gigantic ticking clocks...and penguins with missiles attached to their backs.

Warners let Tim do whatever he wanted and its' a beautiful movie with some good stuff in it and the score is dope as hell but......it's so fukking weird. Or is it just me?

Always liked it, I don't know if I could be bothered to sit through it all now, but when I was a kid, I liked the darkness and weirdness. It was like gothic horror, without the grandiosity of the first Batman, Nicholson hamming it up. It was smaller, uglier, creepier. No denying it's a weird movie though, but from a 85 baby, it always made perfect sense, Burton was given full creative reign, and went right off the deep end. I used to love when this came on tv in the mid 90's.

There's also a bizarre Christmas scene, and somehow the plot involved toy soldiers or something right?

Not toy soldiers but killer penguins :russ:

I'm 86 so a year younger than you and I loved it as a kid but I vividly remember the backlash and as an adult, I get it. Like @Ed MOTHERfukkING G just said, why in the hell is this PG 13? And again, the shyt had happy meals. There's no way in hell this movie should've had happy meals.

Catwoman slices a dude's face in an alley, gashes the shyt out of batman, and kills a man by electrocuting him in the mouth:deadmanny:

Ah so the shyt I say is weird you say is ridiculously dumb:russ: Yeah I can see that. Because on its face, none of it really adds up or makes any sense
It really doesnt. Like u said, they let Tim do whatever he wanted. I remember being 12 watching that movie, like :dahell::childplease: at the same time. I know Returns gets love, people love the look and Christmas vibe, but it's a ridiculously dumb movie from beginning to end. Terrible climax. Michele Pfeiffer is good but Batman hardly seems like hes in it. The penguin is some disgusting gross creature with a freaking army of penguins with rockets on their backs...something out of a Dr. Evil sharks with laser beams shyt. Can't fukk with Returns. :flabbynsick:

Yeah batman really is an afterthought in this whole flick. It's crazy how batman movies have forever altered the direction of comic book flicks. The first one showed it could be done and got a slew of imitators, the 2nd one made everyone pump their breaks and say "we can't go that far" and the fourth one is a direct result of that, which created its own ripple effect and then batman begins created one as well.
