BATMAN RETURNS (1992) w/ “Christmas with the Joker” pre-show
December 14 : 4:00 pm – 6:15 pm
“Dark, demented and deviant, we’re unlikely to see a superhero film like Batman Returns ever again. It’s wonderful.” – Horror Queers
Tim Burton’s ultimate plunge into the mythos of the Dark Knight, BATMAN RETURNS is as dark, funny, weird, and wonderful as superhero movies get. Michael Keaton puts on the cowl for the second time to battle a never-sexier Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman and a never-grosser Danny DeVito as the Penguin. Set amidst a nightmarish Art Deco Gotham City decked out for the holidays, this film is absolutely oozing dark winter atmosphere. Laden with steamy romance, monster-movie creepiness, and brooding characterization, this pitch-black epic is one of the very darkest in Burton’s oeuvre (quite an achievement for that modern master of the macabre!).
Plus, come out early for more yuletide Batman action with a pre-show at 3:30 pm featuring “Christmas with the Joker” from the classic Batman: The Animated Series.
This film is screening as part of our December series, IT’S KIND OF A CHRISTMAS MOVIE, showcasing some off-beat Yuletide(ish) tales to warm your soul this winter.
