{3.5\/5} “What I’d like to do first is put these little glove things on you. Research tells us that voters like fingers.”<\/p>\n

Batman Returns<\/strong>, released in 1992<\/p>\n

Oswald Cobblepot was so ugly as a baby that his parents threw him over a bridge. He survived, and was raised by penguins. Decades later Max Shreck wants to build a new power planet in Gotham City but the mayor is skeptical. Shreck decides to put forward a new candidate for mayor, one who will do his bidding — Oswald Cobblepot. Shreck pushes Selina Kyle to her apparent death, but she survives to become Catwoman.<\/p>\n

The first time I saw this movie I was turned off by how disgusting the Penguin is — I still agree with myself. There are some fine moments, but it doesn’t quite add up to a great movie.<\/p>\n

Batman is a bit more ruthless in this one.<\/p>\n

As in the first movie, the bad guy(s) have lots of screen time to shine.<\/p>\n

Paul Reubens has a cameo as Oswald’s father.<\/p>\n

Stars Danny DeVito, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Michael Gough, and Vincent Schiavelli. Directed by Tim Burton (Batman<\/strong><\/a>). Danny Elfman adds themes for the new characters to his iconic music.<\/p>\n

This is the 2nd or 3rd time I’ve seen it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
