5. BATMAN RETURNS | The Quest for a NORMAL Life: a video essay (English version)

Why Batman Returns is a "character driven" movie. Fifth episode of a series of Batman video essays. As Matt Reeves' Batman approaches, I offer video essays retracing the filmography of the Dark Knight. The first two episodes serve as an introduction so that we understand where the character comes from and the role he plays in our collective imagination. This video is an english translation of my original french video. English is not my first language and I tried my best to translate my text and to pronounce it the correct way with the little time I have. It's obviously not perfect, but I thought some people would prefer this to the subtitles. Constructive criticism is of course welcome. I hope you enjoy the video! ► CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 01:56 - Bruce Wayne 03:03 - Selina Kyle 05:21 - Max Shreck 08:46 - Oswald Cobblepot 11:05 - Conclusion ► The Eternal Return of BATMAN: Is Batman the Superman announced by Nietzsche?    • 1. The Eternal Return of BATMAN: a video e...   ► BATMAN | An ENDLESS Myth: What makes Batman and his universe so versatile, both narratively and politically?    • 2. Batman | An ENDLESS Myth: a video essay...   ► BATMAN 1966 | The Film That SAVED Batman: Would the Dark Knight exist today if it wasn't for the Bright Knight?    • 3. BATMAN 1966 | The Film That SAVED Batma...   ► BATMAN 1989 | The MADNESS of Bruce Wayne: Why 1989's Batman is a better "origin story" than Batman Begins and explores in a far better way the relationship between Batman and the Joker than The Dark Knight    • 4. BATMAN 1989 | The MADNESS of Bruce Wayn...   ► MASK OF THE PHANTASM | The Most MATURE Batman Movie: Why it surpasses every live action movie    • 6. MASK OF THE PHANTASM | The Most MATURE ...   ► BATMAN FOREVER | An INCONSISTENT Compromise: Why it's neither a masterpiece nor the worst movie of all time    • 7. BATMAN FOREVER | An INCONSISTENT Compro...   ► BATMAN & ROBIN | Some GOOD Things About It: Even though it's a terrible movie, does it have any qualities?    • 8. BATMAN & ROBIN | Some GOOD Things About...   ► BATMAN BEYOND | Cyberpunk for TEENAGERS: What does this series owe its success to?    • 9. BATMAN BEYOND | Cyberpunk for TEENAGERS...   ► BATMAN BEGINS | An ALMOST Faithful Reboot: What makes this movie both a good and a bad reboot of the franchise?    • 10. BATMAN BEGINS | An ALMOST Faithful Reb...   ► THE DARK KNIGHT | The Film Americans NEEDED, not the one fans DESERVED: Why is it so unfaithful to the Batman universe?    • 11. THE DARK KNIGHT | The Movie Americans ...   ► THE DARK KNIGHT RISES | A RUSHED Conclusion: Does Batman need a conclusion?    • 12. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES | A RUSHED Concl...   Even more episodes to come!
