What Parents Need to Know
About Batman Returns
Parents need to know that this sequel to the 1989 original film is darker and more kill-happy than the previous installment. Crooks wearing giant skull-head masks run amok at a Christmas-tree lighting ceremony. Selena suffers a breakdown, during which she destroys her apartment. The Penguin threatens Schreck by producing his ex-partner's severed hand. Schreck is electrocuted, leaving a charred, pop-eyed corpse. And the movie deals with mature themes, such as death, abandonment of a child, and corruption in big business.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the Catwoman character. Is she a positive role model for women -- or a familiar stereotype? Can you think of a female superhero who doesn't wear a slinky costume? How does Catwoman gain power outside her normal life?

The Signal Strikes again!!!
The first Batman was amazing in it's dark humor and action scenes...But it's sequel? Amazing. Tim Burton comes at us in a dark fashion, showing us that Batman has a dark side and this one isn't using "The Force" to get our attention! There were many things that I can agree with that it wasn't as great as it's predessor, or even as great as the third, but there was Nothing wrong with Batman Returns! (My suggestion is that it's for 10+) And there are NOT bodies everywhere! There is maybe one dead body throughout the whole movie!

A horrible movie!
If you don't like blood and dead bodies floating around, then I think that you should stay away from this movie.

NOT FOR KIDS
I did not like this movie. While it is well-made and has a fascinating villian, Catwoman, it feels like it just stepped out of a Halloween costume catalog. The movie is so dark and wierd that it comes across as fake. Plus, the movie feels so hopeless and is so full of despair that all the fun has been sucked out of the Batman franchise. Penguin was gross and despicable, I just wanted him to die. Catwoman was interesting but the movie wasn't really about her. I have to give it credit for being well made, but Batman Returns was overly dark, overly stylish, and no fun whatsoever.

Very stupid movie that just got to weird.
Driector Tim Burton is one the weirdest driectors every and this movie is dark, weird, and stupid. When CSM gives it 5 stars don't listen. If you want to see a good batman moive you should the original Tim Burton batman or the new one which just excellent batman begins. This movie began well and then just fell apart to find a good ending to end this stupid super hero movie. It was sloppy and could have been better.
