Well, there hasn't been a GOOD Batman movie before, does that count?
Batman Returns was good.
And what about "Mask of the Phantasm"?
calling Batman Returns "good" would be a bit of a stretch. Mask of the Phantasm was good, but for purposes of this particular argument I'm ignoring the animated STV/TV movies.
60's Movie: Sucked
Batman: Jack Nicolson, not much else
Batman Returns: Catwoman and Christopher Walken, not much else
Batman Forever: Sucked
Batman and Robin: Batman and Robin
Batman Returns is tremendous; it's a 100 million dollar art house movie about a man confronting villains that are only symbols of his own spilt personalities.
Okay, fine. Unfortuantely, it's not a GOOD 100 million dollar art house movie about a man confronting villains that are only symbols of his own spilt personalities.
