Michelle Pfeiffer did all the whip stunts, put a real bird in her dang mouth and she had to be sewn into the catsuit every day and couldn't use the bathroom at all while filming. She's the GOAT of the entire Batman franchise.
You can find BTS footage of her doing the whip routine in the store online. She did that routine in *one* take! You can hear the whole crew applauding after.
"I think I need to stop watchin' this movie." Many times I cannot express how funny and real J is. Oh man, Blank was right, J's reaction to Catwoman is totally priceless. Somebody has to make a compilation video called "J's Greatest Reaction Moments".
You notice their the only two without masks? Rather suggests that their costumed personas *are* their real selves, and the civilian persona is the disguise. I *LOVE* this movie!
I was of a similar age and I got really into collecting the trading cards from this movie. Got the full set and then never collected anything else again. It wasn't the cards I was interested in. lol
@@LordRae Funny I just put a comment up I got the same 100 set trading cards as a teen girl ha. I still have them perfect condition so sexy all the little images of her LOL got for the same reasons
I was the same age... This was the first movie I ever saw 3 times in the theater. There were so many magazines and merch out that summer. I had a cardboard cutout of Catwoman, Batman Returns poster, I made my own collage from movie stills in the magazines on a poster board, a tee shirt, my diary! It was ridiculous.
Christopher Walken's character's name, Max Shreck was taken from the name of the German actor Max Schreck, who played the vampire in the 1922 German silent movie "Nosferatu" - it's considered to the very first full length horror film. It's fair to say that most of Hollywood's movies were inspired by the so called "German expressionism" of the 1920s (especially Star Wars, Blade Runner and most of Burton's movies) but Batman Returns is by far the most obvious case. Gotham even looks like Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" (1927)
"Nosferatu" almost disappeared. The movie was made without getting permission from the Stoker estate and they sued. A judge ruled in their favor and declared that all copies had to be destroyed. Most were, but a few copies here and there survived. Since they were on silver nitrate film,mit was lucky that any of those few survived at all.
How so with Blade Runner? Genuinely curious. Being well aware of Philip K Dick and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep... Cinematically or the story being inspired or derivative? I've never heard this so, any info is appreciated.
I consider this to be the best live-action Batman film ever made. There's a subversive edge, boldness, and sadness that Tim Burton brought to this that set it apart from all the others, even the '89 original. This is a true masterpiece.
Giving dark, almost horror movie level, takes on classic villains is where Returns shines. Sewer monster Penguin and undead/revenant Catwoman are fantasticly divergent from previous iterations.
@@LordVolkov"sewer monster Penguin" and "undead/revenant Catwoman" are, oddly enough, the most impactful characters in the film. They're written so beautifully, it's ridiculous.
@@reservoirdude92 "You're just jealous, because I'm a genuine freak and you have to wear a mask! You might be right". I've had those lines rattling in my soul since 1992. Why am I the only one who finds them *so* impactful?
You've two men. Both from wealthy, prominent families. Both with their childhoods stolen from them. One by his parents, because he was a freak. One made into a freak because his parents were stolen. God, I love this movie! It's so much deeper than people ever gave it credit for. And you're absolutely right about Devito. His performance is *NOT* subtle. But he's also not overacting. The *Penguin* is overacting. But Devito never does. That takes talent. Only real problem I have? Max Shreck is not nearly a cool enough guy to have Siouxie Sioux playing during his party.
It was a privilege to have worked on this film. So much fun. Although the entire set was refrigerated and we all got sick from it. I saw Michelle Pfeiffer up close and I was without words. One of the future villains showed up on set set one day. That was a surprise. Amazing reaction my friend.
Danny Devito really killed this role, he was so good they thought he was too scary. lol Edit- Also no one has been able to come close to Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman, best version imo.
I saw this in the theater when it came out, and the movie immediately got a reputation for being extremely dark for a Batman movie. But the one thing EVERYONE was talking about was Michelle Pfeiffer in that Catwoman suit. She was the main draw after the opening weekend. Of course I was in the Army at the time, and watching this movie in a military theater was…. entertaining.
Hey J, as much as you like Michelle Pfeiffer (and who doesn't!), you should watch her in Wolf with Jack Nicholson! It's a really cool movie that doesn't get many reactions, and I think you'd enjoy it. Peace! 👊🏻
The darkest and most controversial Batman movie ever made. It was considered to be so dark and violent, some McDonald's restaurants refused to sell any of their toys regarding a PG-13 rating.
This is the only Batman movie I had never seen start to finish. I checked it out tonight just so I watch your reaction. I always heard how great Michelle Pfeiffer was but man she was even better than everyone said 😩
Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars: “This hit, that ice cold, Michelle Pfeiffer, that white gold” Riptide by Vance Joy: “I swear she's destined for the screen, Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen” Yeah, Michelle Pfeiffer is something special. And I’m a straight woman! 🤣💙💙💙
I was 13 years old when this came out. Parent made so much noise about how dark and violent this was which plummeted Batman and Comic Book Movies in general back then. But as a kid, this movie was absolutely AWESOME! And I still love it to this day
I was laughing all the way through this reaction. Loved it. Don't know if it's been mentioned, but Paul "Pee-Wee" Reubens also played the Penguin's father in the Gotham TV show. But he was a lot nicer there.
Tim Burton & Danny Elfman make such a perfect combination. Catwoman was my first screen crush too bc, well, obviously. These movies felt like an actual comic book & it's still awesome. Thx for the video, thx for the edit, & thx for hanging out Co-Pilots 😎
6:30 - 7:30 😂😂 Rom scratching around and making his nest in the blankets is the cutest thing ever! Kinda distracting but very cute ❤❤ Also, I don't care.. Michelle Pfeiffer is THE Catwoman.. ❤
She really used that whip too, the cleaning the heads off the mannequins scene was legit. There’s behind the scene footage you can look up of her practicing the scene and getting it first try
Great Batman theme music! Eartha Kit is one of a kind...I used to practice sounding like her, rolling my tongue and gutteral purring!😂 Michelle Pfeiffer honored her(E.K.) and made it her own....soooo amazing!
The OG Penguin played by Burgess Meredith(Mickey in the Rocky movies) I always loved when I was a kid, he was so well dressed but Ms. Kitt with the rolling r’s, I also spent hours practicing trying to sound like her 😂
Over the years Returns has become my favorite Keaton Batman movie, because of Pfeiffer's performance. EOM, your reaction to the mistletoe scene was probably the funniest thing I've seen on this channel. Thanks for that and all that you do.
i haven’t watched this movie in years so i’d forgotten a lot of it, but you are always so damn entertaining ❤ also i love it when y’all miss a bleep-out moment!
Danny Devito told Tim Burton about changing his saliva into black. The black saliva was a concoction that the makeup and special effects people made. Basically, it's kind of like mild mouthwash with food colouring in it. Looks dope. Look at it closey dont be a wimp. Lol
We've seen one of the "Funeral Penguins" before. One of them was Debbie Lee Carrington who played "Thumbelina" in the bar in the original "Total Recall".
She'd have been walking around like Penguin after that ..... Mate, you can't say shit like that it's 6am here I nearly choked on my breakfast. I laughed so much 😂😂😂😂 best reviewer on you tube by a mile ❤❤
Such a goddamn shame that they didn't have Batman spinning-heal kick a few of those penguins. Imagine that scene playing out. I would have laughed so hard.
"You don't really think you'll win, do you?" "Things change." "Meow." "I saw her first... gotta fly!" Fun Fact: The fish that the Penguin (Danny DeVito) eats is a smoked trout. Location Location Fact: The massive Gotham City sets were all constructed to be mobile, and were often shifted between days of filming. Michelle Pfeiffer routinely got lost on her way to filming each day. Cameos Cameos Fact: Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) stars reunite briefly at the beginning of the film as the Penguin's (Danny DeVito) parents, Tucker (Paul Reubens) and Esther (Diane Salinger). The wife of Batman co-creator Bob Kane, Diane Salinger, and Tim Burton make brief appearances. Penguin Wangler Fact: The production wanted to use King Penguins, but the only tame ones in captivity were at a bird sanctuary in the Cotswolds, deep in the English countryside. So the birds were flown over to the States in the refrigerated hold of a plane. They were given their own refrigerated trailer and swimming pool with half a ton of fresh ice every day, and had fresh fish delivered daily straight from the docks. Even though the temperature outside frequently topped one hundred degrees, the entire set was refrigerated down to thirty-five degrees. The birds also had an around-the-clock bodyguard. The birds clearly enjoyed the experience as, following their stint in Hollywood, most of them had mated and produced eggs, the sure sign of a contented penguin. In an interview for television, Stan Winston told a little anecdote about how his crew were collecting the mechanical penguins after a day's shoot and found one of the live penguins snuggled up asleep against a mechanical one.
Saw this in theaters when I was eight. Pretty sure it was around Christmas… Btw, probably laughed at this more than any other reaction to date. Thanks, J. Great editing, Blank. Cheers.
Yes, Billy Dee Williams as Two Face would have been amazing. And even though the next two Batman movies aren't as well received, they're still definitely worth a watch, and I'm sure your reactions will elevate the experience even more, so I'll be looking forward to those👍
Somewhere on the DVD commentary, one of the producers says something to the effect of "When the film ends, when you are seeing it with a real audience, as you come out, you had adults lookin' like they'd been punched in the stomach, kids crying, etc." And that he is, too this day, kinda PROUD of that. Always makes me glad.
I was 13 when I saw this and didn't know much about the birds and the bees back then but I knew I wanted to be licked like that too 😂😂😂....I wonder how many takes it took during filming 😂😂😂
" he looks like he kills people for real" Well he certainly has Natalie Woods spirit hanging over him to some degree. Not saying he did it but he was there 😂
Michelle as Catwoman is best and Michael as always killed it. In this movie I am surprised they didn't make a litter of babies the way the chemistry was going. I love both of Tim Burton's Batman movies so much.
I just met one of Michelle Pfeiffer's younger sisters DeeDee (Dorothy) last Saturday July 1st. She's really pretty like her sister. When i was a kid, Michelle was a cashier at the only supermarket in my hometown before she was famous. She was always really hot.
The engine for the Batmobile was designed & manufactured by a company in my hometown. When Tim Burton and others on the crew came to see the engine, driving around they would listen to some of the local radio stations, one being WXRX. Burton liked the way that it looked so he included it in the movie. This callsign can be seen mounted on one of the podium’s microphones in both scenes where Penguin’s henchmen are causing havoc.
He was technically locked out of doing the third one by the producers and studio refusing to allow him to continue the story in the same style. Which is a damn shame, and why they NEED to bring Tim Burton in to direct a live action Batman Beyond with Keaton as old man Bruce.
Trivia. Annette Bening was the first choice for Catwoman. But she got pregnant. Pfeiffer came to the role late and actually had to wear some of the clothes that were cut for Bening. Actress Sean Young campaigned for the role in a homemade costume, trying to get the director's attention. Singers Jody Watley and Vanessa Williams were also mentioned to be interested in the role.
Michelle Pfeiffer did all the whip stunts, put a real bird in her dang mouth and she had to be sewn into the catsuit every day and couldn't use the bathroom at all while filming. She's the GOAT of the entire Batman franchise.
And it’s one of her favorite roles to date. She wants to reprise the role
You can find BTS footage of her doing the whip routine in the store online. She did that routine in *one* take! You can hear the whole crew applauding after.
Michael Keaton,Michelle Pfeiffer and Danny DeVito will always be the best ❤🙂
@@danielallen3454 I hate that she did it and then they cut around it in the movie
@@danielallen3454 I literally just watched that clip just a few days ago of her hitting all her targets with her whip. So cool!
No one beats Michelle as Catwoman, no one. She was perfect for the role
She was so meow. :)
It's wild too when there's been so many amazing actors to play the role, yet somehow Michelle stands above them all.
Eartha Kitt
She was prrrrrrrfect
She's the ONLY Catwoman. The only 1
My favorite Batman movie of all time! Michelle ATE the role of Catwoman, no crumbs left!
"I think I need to stop watchin' this movie."
Many times I cannot express how funny and real J is. Oh man, Blank was right, J's reaction to Catwoman is totally priceless.
Somebody has to make a compilation video called "J's Greatest Reaction Moments".
We did a two hour long year one “best of” video back in March. Covered the first whole year.
HIGHLY recommend it. LoL
The scene in which Bruce and Selena both realise who the other really is at Shreck's party is my favourite scene out of all the Batman movies.
You notice their the only two without masks? Rather suggests that their costumed personas *are* their real selves, and the civilian persona is the disguise. I *LOVE* this movie!
There's just a beautiful saddness to it that wasn't played out long enough.
@@Warvvolf It is great that Bruce immediately accepts her.
Your Catwoman rant had me in stitches! I'm sure many men have had your reaction; you're the one willing to tell the rest of us!!
Haha, "stitches"

True. Just like Conrad Veidt's role as Gwynplaine in the 1928 film The Man Who Laughed was the inspiration for the joker in the 1940s Batman comics
I loved how Batman and the Penguin were looking at each other when Catwoman showed up like " you seeing this right?"
I consider this to be the best live-action Batman film ever made. There's a subversive edge, boldness, and sadness that Tim Burton brought to this that set it apart from all the others, even the '89 original. This is a true masterpiece.

Yes..... Or "Tequlia Sunrise" with Mel Gibson and Kurt Russell.... Or "The Fabulos Baker Brothers" with Jeff Bridges and Beau Bridges....
Or in What Lies Beneath with Harrison Ford... but my all time fave is Grease 2 where she plays Stephanie and her singing is AMAAAAAAAAAZING!!!!
"I didn't know Catwoman was a zombie".

I’m never disappointed here. I’m on an emotional rollercoaster every video. I laughed the whole time for this one.

Fun Fact: The fish that the Penguin (Danny DeVito) eats is a smoked trout.
Location Location Fact: The massive Gotham City sets were all constructed to be mobile, and were often shifted between days of filming. Michelle Pfeiffer routinely got lost on her way to filming each day.

Saw this in theaters when I was eight. Pretty sure it was around Christmas…
Btw, probably laughed at this more than any other reaction to date. Thanks, J. Great editing, Blank. Cheers.
Me too!
Batman Returns was released in the Summer. You probably just associated it with Christmas because the setting is Christmas.
@@Osprey850 - mine was a small theater market. In those days, they'd extend their theatrical runs
@@Osprey850 Yup
Definitely a different kind of Batman movie but Phiffer makes it. "The Pork-Chop Express" T-shirt is legit!
He was so clean a minute ago. The sound of disappointment in you voice. I felt that.
both Tim Burton Batman movies are incredible and hold a special place in my heart forever
31:17 as a straight man who grew up watching Michelle Pfeiffer in this movie I can tell that Jay's reaction is the most accurate possible!!!!!!!!

Danny DeVito is a national treasure.
This Penguin really could scare kids. Very disturbing. As an adult the character is very interesting, as a kid, freaky stuff.
Somewhere on the DVD commentary, one of the producers says something to the effect of "When the film ends, when you are seeing it with a real audience, as you come out, you had adults lookin' like they'd been punched in the stomach, kids crying, etc." And that he is, too this day, kinda PROUD of that. Always makes me glad.
“Why’s he talking to Aflred like that?” When he wears the suit, the voice comes with it.
The squeaky toy comment on the penguin. Absolutely shots fired! 😂
J... you're consistently right about the headbutting. Because of your wisdom, I always note it in films now.
Danny Devito has stated that he LOVES eating on camera, That's the funniest shit I've ever heard
I was 13 when I saw this and didn't know much about the birds and the bees back then but I knew I wanted to be licked like that too 😂😂😂....I wonder how many takes it took during filming 😂😂😂
21:54 In the 1966 Batman TV series, the Penguin ran for mayor of Gotham City in the episode "Dizzoner the Penguin".
Your purple top hat in the thumbnail is everything
" he looks like he kills people for real"
Well he certainly has Natalie Woods spirit hanging over him to some degree. Not saying he did it but he was there 😂
Michelle as Catwoman is best and Michael as always killed it. In this movie I am surprised they didn't make a litter of babies the way the chemistry was going. I love both of Tim Burton's Batman movies so much.

Awesome Movie and Work Bro, Thanks 👍👍👍👍 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
6:33 The batmobile in 1966 Batman tv show could do the same thing, they called it A “Bat-turn “.
There's a reason these are my favorite Batmans. lol
I was 11 years old when I saw this and my thoughts about Michelle Pfeiffer mirrored yours! lol
Love that t-shirt you're wearing btw. 😎
Love that you know him as Latimer and not Zangief...The Program baby
The engine for the Batmobile was designed & manufactured by a company in my hometown. When Tim Burton and others on the crew came to see the engine, driving around they would listen to some of the local radio stations, one being WXRX. Burton liked the way that it looked so he included it in the movie. This callsign can be seen mounted on one of the podium’s microphones in both scenes where Penguin’s henchmen are causing havoc.
BRO I NEED YOUR SHIRT LOL. best movie ever!
I grew up with this movie.
I have been watching this movie since I was like 7.
Big Danny Devito fan. Also Love your reactions it’s always the most fun.
Hands down, no debate, best Batman movie ever. We got robbed when Burton didnt do a 3rd.
He was technically locked out of doing the third one by the producers and studio refusing to allow him to continue the story in the same style.
Which is a damn shame, and why they NEED to bring Tim Burton in to direct a live action Batman Beyond with Keaton as old man Bruce.
@2:51 “That’s why he’s different. Pee Wee Herman’s his daddy.” 🤣
Penguin was crazy 😂😂
LMAO greatest reaction to this movie ever...@30:56
This really puts the character "Frank" from "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" into perspective. "Frank" is just as filthy as "The Penguin" lol
Trivia. Annette Bening was the first choice for Catwoman. But she got pregnant. Pfeiffer came to the role late and actually had to wear some of the clothes that were cut for Bening. Actress Sean Young campaigned for the role in a homemade costume, trying to get the director's attention. Singers Jody Watley and Vanessa Williams were also mentioned to be interested in the role.
