• Watch

  Batman Returns

  In anticipation of Batman: The Dark Knight (which stars Heath Ledger as The Joker, so it is a must see) one should revisit past Batman movies. The best one would have to be Batman Returns. It is directed by Tim Burton and naturally he made it brilliantly dark. It stars Michael Keaton as Batman, he's not the best one but the rest of the cast make up for it. Michelle Pfeiffer stars as the crazy, sexy Catwoman, Danny DeVito as the grotesque Penguin and Christopher Walken as the eerie villain. It is a filmic superhero masterpiece, which is ironically not suitable for children.
