If Die Hard is a Christmas movie than I think Batman Returns should be too.

Of course not

It's not even set in December. It's a Summer movie!

If you're an edgelord I guess

They were trying so hard to be edgy and dark that it actually hurt the movie.

^ Hey now that's completely unfair.

Nah I just prefer movies to have a story and for romantic leads to have actual chemistry.

Besides the substance that makes Returns superior, it just looks better. The near black and white design set off by the Christmas lights and circus colors is more striking and effective than the more standard deco of 89 (which is still pretty good). The black and white ages better, like a soundtrack with no Prince.

He's right. Return destroys the original. Although the "what are you laughing at?" Joker said to the statue at the end was pretty fu

I love Joker and all, and for sure penguins with rockets on their backs are dumb as hell, but Returns is far more of an enteraining watch. I love both though to be honest.

I'm inclined to give this stance a fair shake, but I never liked Devito's slovenly horndog take on the Penguin. Though I can't claim that TAS had already fixed the 'proper' representation of the character in mind, since apparently the series first aired several months after Returns. And Max Schreck's charred bug-eyed corpse was major nightmare fuel as a kid.

Other than that, I guess I wouldn't have a strong opinion either way over which was better between the two flicks.

There is some merit to the notion that certain aspects of Batman '89 (Prince, the Joker's henchman outfits and over-shoulder boomboxes) make the film very dated, while Returns suffers considerably less from that as far as I remember (haven't seen Returns in several years).

Batman Returns isn't just my favorite Batman movie, it is to this day my favorite movie of all time. Though I watch it several times a year I do think it qualifies as a Christmas/winter movie.

Real talk despite facepalming over that Returns being better than 89 post, I can't argue that I did enjoy Tim Burton's dark and gothic atmosphere more than the dirty, urbanscapes in 89.

There were just too many characters battling for compelling story arcs and it led to nobody ending up with a satisfying conclusion. Batman got the absolute worst of it by retreading the whole relationship dilemma from 89...which was ditched altogether James Bond-style >__>
