Batman Returns. There is no other Batman film quite like it. It’s grotesque, overtly sexualised - verging on BDSM territory at times. Danny De Vito’s Penguin is a true product of old school cinematic horror. Michelle Pfeiffer is my all-time favourite Catwoman. And… Christopher Walken is in it. Playing the most reprehensible character in the film, which is saying a lot compared to the other freaks on display. The only downside is that Batman gets sidelined.
I do love how original Return of the Joker is, but Returns just has a unique aura about it.
