Idk man, when is the last time you'e seen Returns? At times it seems like it was written in crayon
Saw all 4 recently. 89 has not aged very well IMO and Forever was pretty bad though I feel Val Kilmer was a decent Batman. Obviously Batman & Robin ain't even worth talking about.
I really enjoyed DeVito's Penguin even if it's nothing like the real character, and I still feel Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman is the sexiest white woman I've seen on a movie screen. I just think it was a better movie overall and feels less dated.
I was born the year after 89 Batman dropped so the nostalgia isn't really there for me either. Might have something to do with it. I vaguely remember Returns.
