Many of her comments are constantly analyzing the way girls see things or the way men see it, her character certainly explores defending the woman and her rights as a human being. <br /><br />Love that bit where she has a neon sign in her room that reads "Hello There" but after she breaks a few of the letters it reads "HELL HERE" as if saying, her boring 9-5 job and entire lifestyle was hell for her. <br /><br />But then she becomes strong willed, and makes the necessary changes, to be someone she can be proud of. And someone who will get her respect, even if she has to whip it out of you. I totally agree,she steals the movie! <br /><br />In contrast to that, I re-watched The Dark Knight Rises last weekend and I noticed that Hathaway's portrayal isnt as important part of the film as Pfeiffer's. In Burton's film you could easily say that the film is more about Catwoman then it is about Batman, and the same can be said about the PEnguin. But in Rises, Hathaway serves as something of a sidekick for Bats, and thats it about it, though she does make a few points about class issues and how the less fortunate are suffering, in the end, she's a secondary character. Not so in Returns!

Good review, I agree with pretty much all of your points and I liked the background tidbits.<br /><br />Although I think calling Catwoman "the epitome of feminism" is oversimplifying, I do love her character and Pfeiffer easily steals the show. Too bad she didn't get her own movie.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471664551639091150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-24831113640498202912012-08-17T09:48:26.248-07:002012-08-17T09:48:26.248-07:00Batman Forever and Batman & Robin only made mo...Batman Forever and Batman & Robin only made money only because of the Batman name, but not because they were any good. I would have liked to see Burton and Keaton together again as well, but Burton has never been a fan of making sequels, he only made this one because they allowed him to truly make it his film 100%, and this is probably why it's the best of the old ones. <br /><br />This movie is like eye candy for me, it has so many little details one can look at, also, I love the fact that they built these gigantic sets! So awesome looking! They give the film it's epic feel.

I just love the dark, gothic atmosphere, amped up even more thanks to Burton's influence, which, as you pointed out, was allowed free reign after the success of the first film. This really feels like a Burton film 100% whereas the first film maybe Burton at 50%. Too bad that he and Keaton couldn't have done another one. I know they wanted to but the studio became more interested in making toy-driven BATMAN films and that killed it for them.<br /><br />Interestingly, Keaton did an interview recently where he said that with the third film he wanted to do something more closer to what Christopher Nolan has done with his BATMAN films.<br /><br />Ah, if only...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-12023621281040070902012-08-16T12:37:37.797-07:002012-08-16T12:37:37.797-07:00True!
