Batman Returns


 Tim Burton’s “Batman Returns” has always been my favorite of all the Batman movies.  Batman Returns always stood out to me. Visually I find it more captivating. I love the use of color. The darkness and slightly gothic style accessorized by the bright splashes of color truly creates a creepy element that really adds a lot to the film. It had a sort of “underworld-carnival” vibe, which was unnerving but very appropriate, especially when the clowns showed up. It had a very cartoonish vibe to it, which stayed true to the comic book element. I also really loved the wardrobe. I loved the use of leather in catwoman’s costume, as well as penguin’s dirty apparel.  Danny Devito truly brought that character to life and the special effects and makeup were perfect. The sets were incredible, and I found the cinematography was very impressive as well. Out of all the films we watched in class I think this movie had one of the best musical scores, second only to Jaws. Overall, I truly enjoyed this film.
