2025-06-08 23:40:50 +0000 UTCWas just watching some behind the scenes featurettes of this movie. Apparently Annette Benning originally had the Catwoman part but she backed out because of pregnancy. Anyways they showed some concept art for what her costume was going to be. Woah. If you thought what they came up with was pornographic...wow. Not sure how they were planning on getting away with that at any point in production.

2025-06-01 04:04:04 +0000 UTCYes! It's still the best live-action Batman movie.

2025-05-31 23:43:52 +0000 UTCCassie, you need to watch the original Batman movie, from 1966, to understand why campy is important to old school Batman fans.

2025-05-31 00:18:51 +0000 UTCThe Zack Snyder Universe was really an odd take on DC - it's generally MUCH more colorful, lighter in tone, and while there are plenty of very serious happenings, the overall tone is rather bright. I think that's one reason why the first Shazam film did surprisingly well - it had that bright DC tone to the point that it really was an outlier in the films of that period. It's probably my favorite DC movie from that period for pretty much that reason. (The less said about the sequel, though, the better.) Giving Snyder full creative control was likely not the best call in retrospect - his dark and cynical take on comics in general actually worked pretty well for "Watchmen," but trying to paint the whole DC Universe with that brush honestly doesn't work. Actually, there's an idea - I'll have to check if Cassie has seen "Watchmen." I won't suggest that one personally, as it might scar her for life, but it IS the best Zack Snyder DC movie by a mile (in my humble opinion anyway). In contrast, in comics anyway, Marvel usually came across as more pensive, angsty, a bit sarcastic. And unlike DC's fictitious cities, it was set in the Real World (or at least, a parallel universe which was virtually identical, except that superheroes, villains and capes were an actual thing.) A lot of that came from the way that Stan Lee wrote the huge pile of new titles in the 60s and just carried down through the years. Most of that comics universe isn't grim, so much as having characters with relatable problems. Sure, every now and then there's a world-threatening event (hey, that's what the Fantastic Four and Avengers are for), but for every one of those, there's a dozen where Peter Parker is short on cash again, Sue Storm somehow can't get Reed's attention REGARDLESS of what she's (not) wearing (seriously, dude), Kitty Pryde really wants to get it on with hunky Piotr Rasputin but he insists on just being friends (for several decades in real time - at least Joss Whedon did ONE thing right by finally ending that whole thing), Scott Summers is beating himself up mentally (seriously, the guy was grim for like 80% of his history and he could ALWAYS find a new reason to be glum if happiness suddenly hit him in the face - the guy really needed a ton of therapy), etc. Point being, their issues are often relatable. But when DC characters have issues, they're BIG ones that interrupt the bright mood and very much affect cities/the country/the planet.

2025-05-30 23:21:12 +0000 UTCDo you means Batman Returns full reaction or Batman ‘89? Both can be found if you search ‘Batman’ at the top.

2025-05-30 18:43:13 +0000 UTCI do feel like people have become so used to the more "realistic" version of Batman, and DC in general that anything outside of that now comes across as overly "outlandish." To the mainstream audience, Batman is the face of DC, so he really sets the tone for the entire DC Universe. However, that will no doubt change with Superman (2025). So for many, DC has come to symbolize a darker, grittier world compared to something like Marvel. But in reality, the DC Universe is just as colourful and fantastical as Marvel. For the past 20 years, especially following the success of the Nolan films, DC movies have leaned in the opposite direction of everything I've listed above, hyper-focusing on realism and darker storytelling. The DC Universe is one filled with intelligent, talking gorillas, men and women who can fly, shapeshifting aliens, a super dog, and even fourth-dimensional beings who play pranks on Superman and Batman. Batman has a cave with a robotic dinosaur and a giant coin. And at the end of the day, he's a man who dresses as a bat. I feel like Superman (2025) is finally going to open a lot of people's eyes to the wilder side of the DC Universe, beyond the darkness and grit. It’s helping to birth a universe that’s not ashamed of its comic book roots and embraces every aspect of the source material, doing a better job than what we got in the '90s. That's my personal view on how most mainstream audiences, who've only watched the films, see Batman and DC today. I feel like they've gotten the wrong impression of the DC Universe as a whole, having only experienced a single slice of what it's really about. Super excited to hear Cassie’s views on the DCU when it kicks off with Superman (2025). Really interested to hear her thoughts on a more “comic book” take on these characters and the DC Universe.

Dustin Taylor
2025-05-30 16:50:01 +0000 UTCHard to call Selina Kyle fat when she's standing next to Cobblepot.
Clarence Newman
2025-05-30 15:56:45 +0000 UTCIs anyone else concerned that BATMAN asked Vicki Vale how much she Weighed but never asked Selina Kyle. It’s starting to make me think that Asking a Woman how much she Weighs on a First Date isn’t a good idea for a long term relationship.
Uncle Phoenix
2025-05-30 14:51:34 +0000 UTCHmmm,…actually for me this movie put BDSM in the same realm as Exploding Cats, Penguins with Missile Launchers, and boys named Edward with scissors for hands.
Uncle Phoenix
2025-05-30 14:47:49 +0000 UTCAgreed on Pfeiffer. One thing I particularly like about this take on the character, which is kind of unique, is the idea of Selina and Catwoman as separate personalities that are basically at war for control of her; and while typically only one is in charge at any given moment, as the movie progresses, every time she's around Bruce, they flip-flop faster and faster until it seems she might actually manifest as a comfortable hybrid - but before it gets to that point, as if she's afraid of the concept, she blows it up and runs. Weirdly, it's kind of the inverse on how I usually see their comics relationship, with Bruce subconsciously (or, hell, possibly consciously) choosing serious relationships only with women who he knows will blow it up in the long run (Selina, Talia). Because he's already married to his job, and that job actually REQUIRES personal pain - at least as he sees it. If he actually was at all interested in settling down in a happy and stable relationship, he'd have married Zatanna years ago (comics timeline-wise).

2025-05-30 05:16:48 +0000 UTCSometimes Cassie's movie watching logic worries me 47:59 She thought the cat was a bomb?

2025-05-30 05:12:36 +0000 UTCWhat makes this movie for me is Michelle Pfeiffer. She just steals every scene she's in. The part where she and Bruce realize who each other is at the ball is so well done. Like you, I was hoping they woudl end up together. But that's not generally how Batman and Catwoman end up. Loved the reaction.
Michael Siegel
2025-05-30 04:46:38 +0000 UTCThis was great. Thanks Cassie. Ya, you really have to think of these as dark, live action "Saturday morning cartoons". I think the name you were looking for is "henchmen" for villains sidekicks. As others said, seeing this in theaters as a 12 yr old boy, catwoman was definitely interesting.

2025-05-30 04:41:16 +0000 UTCA late watch , but sincerely enjoyed This reaction! Great job Cassie! Remembered when this came out such a long time ago it seems. It was a true Tim Burton tone! We all enjoy Batman For different reasons, Again Cassie s reaction was such fun! Very thankful! 👍🍿

2025-05-30 03:56:34 +0000 UTCThere is an entire generation of boys thinking they’d see a simple Batman sequel & instead got introduced to BDSM while also ending up with their first erections. I wonder how many millennials have a leather fetish from this flick Also I don’t care what anyone says, Michelle Pfiefer deserved an Oscar nomination for her role here. She’s amazing. The scene with her and Bruce dancing with Sioux and the Banshees playing in the background is so good. Her laughter, her mania, the “I don’t know anymore” followed by “does this mean we have to start fighting”. I don’t really consider this a Batman movie. The first one? Yes. That’s Batman. This? This is a Tim Burton movie wheee a character happens to dress up as a bat to fight crime but also it’s a fairytale. How about Bo Welch’s production design? The sets here are just pieces of art. The opening interior of the cobblepot mansion, the German Expressionism. It’s less noir than it is a Fritz Lang film Or F.W Murnau.

2025-05-30 03:43:03 +0000 UTCI just love getting woken up in the middle of night for my gf to tell me my 65 gallon aquarium is not circulating anymore. It took me 45 minutes and a few shocks later to fix it. She's not happy with me. There is a lot of snails, shrimp, crabs and a sea star that will die without circulation. However I did find time to watch this. I didn't hear any problems with the sound. Ahh Batman Returns they had some endorsement deals going on at the time with this movie. Fast food maybe. I can't remember.

2025-05-30 03:31:22 +0000 UTCThis film was made at a time when superhero comics were still considered to be poorly written children’s fare, suitable only for camp. The comics had already moved past that more than decade before this film was made, and Hollywood wouldn’t catch up to the comics for about a decade after this film was made.

2025-05-30 03:08:43 +0000 UTCI thought it was just YouTube but it looks like it's here too.
Chris Thom
2025-05-30 02:34:05 +0000 UTCIs it just me or did the video keep cutting out?
Thomas Thompson
2025-05-30 02:00:56 +0000 UTCThis might need to be reuploaded on YouTube. There's a lot of skips and blackouts on it.
Chris Thom
2025-05-30 01:56:52 +0000 UTCGlad you gave Batman another chance after '89 didn't work for you and Carly. The Nolan films are a lot more realistic, but IMO the 90s films worked because they combined the over-the-top campiness of the 60s tv show and movie (Batman 1966 anyone?) with a darker tone that played for scares instead of laughs. Just a heads up that the next 2 Batman movies are directed by Joel Schumacher, who got a lot of hate from some Batman fans because his movies are even more goofy than Burton's. Personally, you'd be better off watching the '66 Batman, which is campy and meant to be seen as a comedy. Either way, thanks for the content and happy you liked the movie! meow
Andrew Buel
2025-05-30 01:05:07 +0000 UTCCassie needs to watch "The Batman" now. Another different take on Batman. Not as good as the Nolan films but still pretty good. I've been watching "The Penguin" on HBO Max which is also pretty good
TheSingulatarian
2025-05-30 00:47:27 +0000 UTCIt's always great to see some of these older classics through fresh eyes. I haven't watched this one since I saw it in the theater during the initial run - it's not as rewatchable as Burton's first one, as he really tried to cram too much in. I always thought it would have worked better if he'd split up the two main villains into their own individual movies so they get more spotlight time - Lord knows they both deserve it - and take a slower route to bringing in Selina/Catwoman in both. Unless he planned to REALLY change things, her story and relationship with Bruce needs time to develop. But I wanted to post because I was frantically diving for the pause button when Bruce is in the Batcave, and a comment I never would have expected pops up in Cassie's commentary: " It really needs more natural light." Absolutely dying. But in a good way - I mean, she's not wrong.

2025-05-29 23:13:08 +0000 UTCMichelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman only returns in the Batman '89 (2021–2022) comic series, which serves as an adaptation of Tim Burton’s planned third Batman film that was never made. Warner Bros. ultimately rebooted the franchise with Batman Forever (1994), removing nearly all of Burton’s creative influence and recasting the entire main cast with the exception of two side characters. But in the eyes of fans, Forever and Batman & Robin are viewed as being set within a different universe from the Burton films. The Batman '89 comic also features an original Robin named Drake Winston, based on actor Marlon Wayans, originally eyed to play Robin in Burton’s third film. Not sure why Burton didn’t use an actual Robin from the comics. Like Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, or even Tim Drake, who was the active Robin during the '90s and was introduced the same year Batman (1989) was released. But Drake Winston is a pretty unique character, as he was active as a crime-fighter before ever coming into contact with Batman. Traditionally, Robin develops under Batman’s guidance, so this take really stands out, and it actually fits well within the Burtonverse and Burton’s interpretation of these characters. Though he does earn the title "Robin" once he joins Batman. The comic also brings back Harvey Dent/Two-Face, using Billy Dee Williams’ likeness, finally paying off his casting in the original 1989 film. As mentioned earlier, Catwoman, portrayed by Michelle Pfeiffer, also returns, continuing her storyline from Batman Returns (1992). There are other interesting additions as well, such as the Joker Street Gang, who keep the Joker’s presence alive even after his death in the first film. Everything above pulling from Burton’s ideas for his third Batman film. Batman '89: Echoes, which acts as a sequel to Batman '89, goes beyond Burton’s ideas and introduces characters like Scarecrow, likeness of Jeff Goldblum, and Harley Quinn, likeness of Madonna. It continues to draw influence from Burton’s style while imagining these comics as if they were released during the ’90s, featuring iconic actors and singers from both the ’80s and ’90s. Echoes also introduces Batgirl as well. Plus, these comics are implied to be set in the same continuity as the Superman '78 (2021 - 2022) comic series, which takes place after the first two Christopher Reeve Superman films. The series uses the likenesses of the original cast, including the late, great Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor. Brainiac (Yet to be used in film) is even modelled after David Bowie, which is a really cool '70s & '80s-inspired casting choice. So yeah, these comics feel like a proper sequel to the Burton films, rather than Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, which felt like completely different universes.
