Episode 69: Let's talk about BATMAN RETURNS (1992)
Episode 69
Tuesday, 21 April, 2026

In this episode, we revisit BATMAN RETURNS, one of the strangest major comic-book movies ever made. We talk Tim Burton’s over-the-top visual style, the movie’s tangled plot, Michael Keaton’s sidelined Batman, Michelle Pfeiffer’s unforgettable Catwoman, Danny DeVito’s grotesque Penguin, and Christopher Walken stealing scenes as Max Shreck. Messy, kinky, funny, stylish, and very Burton.
