Movie of the Day: "Batman Returns" (1992)

batman-returns-michelle-pfeiffer-as-catwoman.jpg

Another Tim Burton choice, but believe it or not, this one is entirely appropriate because Batman Returns is a full on Christmas movie. Set during the holiday season, Batman battles both Catwoman and the Penguin while Gotham rests under a heavy snowfall. This sequel is actually more of Tim Burton's unique style than the first Batman, as the director put all his focus on the villains, with Danny DeVito playing up the Penguin in grotesque fashion while Michelle Pfeiffer gives us a Catwoman for the ages. Catwoman pretty much owns this movie as the best and most memorable version of the character ever put to screen (sorry, but Anne Hathaway's doesn't hold a candle to her), and Burton's gothic-horror-noir vision of Gotham City is on full display. It's all eye candy and darkly twisted desires, Tim Burton's idea of true Christmas cheer.
