Batman Returns
The monstrous Penguin, who dwells in the sewers beneath Gotham, joins up with corrupt mayoral candidate Max Shreck to topple the Batman once and for all. But when Shreck's timid assistant Selina Kyle finds out, and Shreck tries to kill her, she's transformed into the sexy Catwoman. She teams up with the Penguin and Shreck to destroy Batman, but sparks fly unexpectedly when she confronts the caped crusader. From TMDB

positive · AI labelView post →Watched Batman Returns in the theaters for the first time in my life. Man, that is a top 5 superhero film & perhaps the Burtoniest of all his films. (Scissorhands is close.) A profoundly weird film about the weirdos (Penguin, Catwoman), uninterested in the ostensible lead character. 5 stars.
positive · AI labelView post →Why don’t we talk about Batman Returns in our Xmas Movie conversations. It’s definitely top 10? 20?
positive · AI labelView post →Batman Returns is a Christmas movie. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
positive · AI labelView post →Batman Returns is my favorite Christmas movie (2020 art)
positive · AI labelView post →Batman Returns Cereal (1992-1992): Released to promote the "Batman" film sequel, this cereal consisted of chocolate Chex pieces, along with marshmallows shaped like cats, masks, Batmobiles, Penguin's tophats, and the Batman logo. Featured a contest to win "a funtastic set of Kenner toys"
neutral · AI labelView post →The snowy, gothic aesthetic of BATMAN RETURNS is still my favorite rendition of Gotham City in film. The oversized statues, the soundstage environments, the matte painting skylines. *chef’s kiss*
positive · AI labelView post →Die Hard is a solid Christmas action movie but it takes up way too much space in the culture. You can and should celebrate Christmas with - Batman Returns - Police Story - Lethal Weapon - The Last Boy Scout - The Long Kiss Goodnight - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - ok every Shane Black movie
positive · AI labelView post →Season’s Greetings from me as “Thin Clown” in my OTHER Christmas movie, BATMAN RETURNS! (Kind of like the age old Die Hard argument). 🎄❤️🎄
positive · AI labelView post →“Batman Returns” might be THE best Batman movie, but “Batman: Mask of the Phantasm” is at least the second best and it is Conroy’s most magnificently heartbreaking work
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Batman Returns with Miss 15 tonight and there really is nothing quite like an extraordinarily stupid movie with a top shelf cast who are all acting the hell out of their very silly lines. I’d completely forgotten how amazing Michelle Pfeiffer is in this.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think this is my favorite movie... ever? Batman Returns released on this day in 1992.
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight’s Christmas movie: “Batman Returns” (1992), directed by Tim Burton
positive · AI labelView post →Batman Returns is the Christmas movie ppl keep saying Die Hard is
positive · AI labelView post →Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie but Batman Returns fucking is.
positive · AI labelView post →BATMAN RETURNS was released 32 years ago. A classic Christmas superhero movie, and Tim Burton’s follow up to his 1989 original, the film gave us some of the most memorable Batman moments put on screen. The making of story will have you wanting to kiss Santy Claus… 1/38
neutral · AI labelView post →My favorite modern superhero movie remains BATMAN RETURNS because it hits that sweet spot of being comic booky without being chained to the comics. A little twisted, a little funny. And it teases a sequel, sure, but it never feels like they are holding back the good stuff. It shoots its shot
positive · AI labelView post →Warner Bros.: Okay, Michael. You're going on a press tour for Batman Returns. During interviews, try to promote the movie a bit and ensure that people know it's gonna be the big hit of the summer. A real crowd-pleaser. Got it? Michael Keaton:

positive · AI labelView post →BATMAN RETURNS was released 34 years ago today. Tim Burton’s follow up to his 1989 original, the film gave us some of the most memorable Batman moments ever put on screen. The making of story is as crazy as the film… 1/38
neutral · AI labelView post →I think this is probably right and I’d say Batman Returns is the closest anyone has gotten to a Golden Age movie
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight’s Christmas movie: “Batman Returns” (1992), directed by Tim Burton
positive · AI labelView post →Released today in 1992, the horniest (and possibly best) Batman film. #filmsky Batman Returns - dir. Tim Burton
positive · AI labelView post →Christmas Movie Dress Advent Calendar, Day 3: Michelle Pfeiffer's beaded black gown in BATMAN RETURNS, what it wisely avoids and what it cleverly reveals tomandlorenzo.com/2025/12/chri...
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't wstch Die Hard for Christmas, I watch Batman Returns. No regrets. This movie was criminally underrated upon release, but proto-goth teen me knew where it was at.
positive · AI labelView post →Now, Batman Returns IS a Christmas movie.
positive · AI labelView post →My new illustration for @farawaypress.com's upcoming novel, Batman: Revolution! The book is a follow up to his novel Batman: Resurrection, which serve as sequels to Tim Burton's 1989 film (and prequels to Batman Returns). Featured here is a new, separate vision of The Riddler of the '89 universe!

positive · AI labelView post →Batman Returns (Film: 1992 / DVD: 1997)
neutral · AI labelView post →I don’t see BATMAN RETURNS on many Best Christmas Movie lists, and to me this demonstrates a frightening lack of cultural horniness
positive · AI labelView post →We've been watching Batman Returns. It remains hilarious to me that this movie was released in June.
positive · AI labelView post →The only live action Batman film with a coherent theme is Batman Returns and that theme is "Batman and his villains would probably be very horny for one another."
positive · AI labelView post →Is Batman Returns…a feminist movie? It fails to have an intersectional lens, but the misogyny of the major male characters in this movie is either a sign of their villainy or the source of their downfall

positive · AI labelView post →Who was your biggest movie crush? 😍 For me… Michelle Pfeiffer in ‘Batman Returns’ 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Batman Returns is a Christmas movie. First Blood is a Christmas movie. Every Godzilla is a Christmas movie. Your mom is a Christmas movie. A plate of rigatoni bolognese is a Christmas movie. 6-7 is a Christmas movie. AI is NOT a Christmas movie. Screw AI.
neutral · AI labelView post →Anyway, you're all wrong and the best Christmas film is in fact Batman Returns.
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight's film Batman Returns (1992)
neutral · AI labelView post →You'd think we'd be watching a horror film for Halloween, but much like Batman Returns is a Christmas movie, The Batman is a Halloween one. This movie still fucks.

neutral · AI labelView post →Remember when we’d go to the movies then stand in front of the theater for like an hour afterwards discussing the film? I hope the next generations are discovering this joy. The last time I remember really doing that was, like, Batman Returns.
positive · AI labelView post →Batman Returns is "I missed out on having my goth phase as a teenager so I will freely and happily have it as an adult": The Movie.
