Rewatching Beetlejuice in October made me realize that Michael Keaton could have been a great Joker. There are a few similarities between the Joker and Beetlejuice.

Don't get me wrong I love Keaton as Batman, and Jack Nicholson as the Joker, but I think that Keaton could have been a great Joker.

Anyone else agree or disagree.

I was thinking how today's superhero movies are designed with sequels and setting up cinematic universes in mind.
A movie like Batman Returns where the director had almost complete reign over everything would never happen nowadays.
So when you stop and think about it Batman Returns is really a one of a kind movie.

So yesterday I got around to watching Batman Returns all the way through in english. Now a few years back I saw it all the way through on the spanish channel.
Now when I watched it on the spanish channel I didn't understand what the characters were saying since I don't speak spanish though I was able to understand the story.

Seeing the movie in english was a great experience.

Michael Keaton did a great job as both Bruce and as Batman. The great thing about Michael Keaton is that he is able to act without needing to say a word. You can tell what he's thinking just by looking at his eyes.

Michelle Pfeiffer is amazing as Catwoman.

Danny DeVito was great as the Penguin. You can't help but feel a little sorry for him at first till the end when you find out what he plans on doing to all of the kids of Gotham.

And of course there's Christopher Walken as Max Shreck. As always Walken is great with playing villains.

Batman Returns is also a beautiful film to look at. Gotham city feels like a character as well.

This movie is not for everyone, and I can understand why it gets a lot of hate. Seeing this makes me wish that we had gotten a third Tim Burton Batman movie.
