Batman Returns

A surprisingly enjoyable film. Lots of action, lots of explosions, lots of cardboard characters with some aspirations towards depth. All in all, a nice homagé to the Batman character of the D.C. Comics era. The storyline amused me tremendously - a plot with just enough realism to scare, yet which doesn't hold up under any scrutiny whatsoever. As an ardent fan of the "Kapow!", "Thwap!", and "Zonk!" days of Batman & Robin, I approved wholeheartedly as a 'brain-in-neutral' sit back and enjoy film.
It's also the first film I can recall that's credited the writers and arrangers of "Happy Birthday To You."
