The cat. The bat. The penguin. In the spirit of the holidays, we're throwing back to 1992's Batman Returns - the much anticipated yet highly controversial sequel to Tim Burton's 1989 blockbuster, Batman. With Michael Keaton reprising his role as Bruce Wayne and show-stealing performances by Michelle Pfeiffer as Selina Kyle and Danny DeVito as Oswald Cobblepot, Batman Returns amplifies the gothic eclecticness of its predecessor. We discuss the nostalgic quality of Tim Burton's vision of Gotham, the violence and darker themes that turned a lot of parents off at the time, and if Michael Keaton is the best live-action Batman there is.
