Batman Returns – (1992)
Director: Tim Burton
Starring: Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Danny DeVito, Christopher Walken, Michael Gough
Yes, it’s a Christmas movie and Tim Burton’s second stab at the franchise. Batman Returns manages the difficult trick of juggling multiple villains. Batman, Catwoman, the Penguin and Max Shreck battle through Gotham city under a snowy Christmas blanket. Christmas saturates the film to the point where decorations are used as weapons. This may be one of a very few movies inspired by a comic book that attempts to flirt with the idea of a season based setting. Christmas may represent happiness and relaxation with family and friends; to others like Bruce Wayne, it can be a very cold, dark and depressing time of the year.
