Another straightforward adaptation, no more; no less. It's a Christmas movie by the way, I don't care what anyone says.

Well I think it was slightly more.. poetic.. than the first book. Just like what I think of the movies.
Naturally, McDonald's had another point of view.

3.5 rounded to 4 stars
Batman Returns: The Official Comic Adaptation #1 is a premium format DC Comics issue written by Dennis O’Neil, based off the screenplay by Daniel Waters, art by Steve Erwin, and colors by Tom McCraw. It was originally released June 1992.
It’s Christmas time in Gotham City and the city is being terrorized by the Red Triangle Gang. Max Shreck, a sleazy business tycoon is determined to build a new power plant in Gotham by any means necessary. When all the legal means have been shot down, he looks to replace the mayor with someone of his own choosing.
Enter the Penguin, a baby who was discarded into the sewers of Gotham and was raised by penguins from the forgotten arctic exhibit of the Gotham Zoo. Leader of the Red Triangle Gang, the Penguin makes a deal with Shreck to run for Mayor of Gotham City. Meanwhile, there is a new vigilante prowling the streets that goes by the name of Catwoman. Sick of being pushed around by men, she looks to cause chaos at every turn.
This was another fast paced adaptation of the Warner Bros. movie, but I felt this book went a little deeper into the story than the first. All of the actors’ character likenesses are back, but not quite as detailed as Ordway’s work in the original.
Batman Returns was actually my first ever comic book. I remember my dad taking me to the local comic shop and getting me this before the movie came out. I would have been 5 or 6 years old at the time. I remember that Penguin really disturbed me, but it didn’t stop me from reading it over and over. I have no idea what happened to my original copy. It was probably donated to a library or sold at a yard sale at some point. Hopefully it found its way to another fan’s hands.

Alfred: Well, come what may. Merry Christmas, Mister Wayne.
Bruce Wayne: Merry Christmas, Alfred. Good will toward men... and women.
2.5/5
I'm one of those people that believe that Batman Returns is superior to the fist movie in every way. Even as a child I loved watching Returns in repeat again and again and still to this day. Batman Returns is what Tim Burton wanted to make with the first Batman but Warner Bros. didn't let him, so after the success of the first movie they just let him make whatever he wanted. This and Ed Wood are my favorite movies of his filmography.
Keaton isn't my favorite Batman but I believe he works better in this movie with DeVito & Pfeiffer being the standouts.
The comic adaptation, as with the adaptation of the first movie, is an okay and quick read but nothing spectacular.

Batman Returns Movie Adaptation
As Max Shreck schemes to take over Gotham City, Oswald Cobblepot reveals himself to the citizens and sets about trying to become elected as the mayor. Batman knows he is the gangland kingpin known as the Penguin, but cannot prove it. Meanwhile, Shreck's secretary Selina Kyle discovers his nefarious plans and becomes the Catwoman to take him down.
A great adaptation, with excellent pacing and artwork. The book captured the essence of the movie.

Batman: the bat, the cat, and the penguin.
Three years after the super spectacular sensation that is Batman, we finally have an amazing sequel: Batman Returns! You gotta admit, I read this sinkin' comic and I played this sinkin' city like a harp from hell! Sometime after the events of the first film, Bruce Wayne/Batman finds out about a criminal named Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot (Danny DeVito), known by many people as "The Penguin" due to his bowlegged dwarf-like stature. Bruce also meets up with a woman named Selina Kyle, better known by most residents of Gotham City as "Catwoman" due to her outfit.
Tim Burton also returns as director and his direction is sturdy as ever compared to its predecessor due to him getting more creative control from Warner Bros. Danny Elfman's amazing score is reused, and his soundtrack is even darker, depressing, and maybe better than his soundtrack from the first film. Michael Keaton returns as the title character Batman, and he is more powerful than he was in the first movie. Danny DeVito was an amazing choice to play The Penguin. Not only that but Michelle Pfeiffer also made an excellent Catwoman (who, believe it or not, does not even hate Batman). Even the villains are extremely faithful to the source material. The Penguin's minions are very diverse as well as the penguins depicted are a mix of animatronics, puppetry, actors in costumes, and even real ones. I also like the idea of bombs strapped to penguins for two reasons: it's both interesting and creative.
The setting of Gotham City during wintertime is well-done, as it stays faithful to the winter season. Not only that, but the idea of a darker tone Batman film taking place around Christmas time is very nifty. In addition to this the production design is outstanding and splendid, especially Catwoman's apartment, and The Penguin's lair. But, just like the the previous film, the Arkham Asylum is still absent here and it was never mentioned.
This film's dark tone works pretty well and manages to actually be even darker than The Dark Knight (depending on your opinion); however, it can be a bit rather inconsistent. Despite being considered one of Batman's darkest movies, there are a few campy moments, such as Batman fighting with Penguin's circus freak army who all act pretty crazy (in a bad way and not a good way), Penguin's rocket-launching penguins, and Penguin driving around in a giant ducky vehicle. On the other hand, this might be intentional considering Tim Burton's trademark style and the attempts to balance out the dark tone with some levity, although it is still kind of jarring. Despite its depressing atmosphere, it's very appropriate and also because it doesn't take itself too seriously, but sometimes, it can take itself too seriously depending on your view.
The ending is very heartwarming to watch, just after the Penguin is killed, Bruce finds a black cat from Catwoman and he goes back to his car; but, just like with Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (which made it a year later), Batman never clears his name at least onscreen by the end of the film, but he is still contacted through the Bat-signal.
The film seems to have a more darker and violent tone when compared to the first, but this is a major improvement over the original. It was nominated for 2 Academy Awards, including Best Visual Effects. It did, however, manage to win a BMI Film & TV Award for Best Music. Later, in that same year it was released (1992), Batman: The Animated Series made its debut and premiered on the then-new Cartoon Network. Because of its more mature setting (whilst still being a kids' show, I suppose) and well-written stories, this animated series has received critical acclaim and is widely regarded and is constantly referred as one of the greatest animated shows ever made. It also gave rise to the DC Animated Universe.
And that's it. That's that. That's all about Batman Returns.

Well, that was fun
Far from one of the best Batman comic books, it's a fun throw back to the 1992 film. As usual, beautiful artwork. However, the story is weirdly condensed in terms of how fast it is told. It almost felt like whoever was assigned to write this comic was in a rush to get it down. However, it's still a fun read. Three stars.

Adaptación a la medida de un público general, donde las (contadas) falencias rítmicas solo perfilan la dificultad de traspasar el ritmo narrativo del cine, que de todos modos Dennis O´Neil, Steve Erwin y José Luis García López consiguen con los mínimos esperables.

The next chapter in the ‘Batman’ film franchise brings back iconic ‘DC Comics’ writer, Dennis O’Neil, but, unlike its predecessor adaptation, this time he’ll be accompanied by artist Steve Erwin, who at the time was a prolific penciler in ‘DC’, working on titles such as ‘Deathstroke’, ‘The New Titans’, ‘Checkmate’, and ‘New Gods’. And, just as the previous title, this will be adapting the script from Tim Burton’s cult-classic sequel of the Dark Knight: ‘Batman Returns’.
Unlike ‘Batman 1989’, this time the adaptation level feels abrupt, but strangely enough, O’Neil’s script feels more faithful to the one from the film, delivering more elements from it, capturing most of the sequences within each page. However, O’Neil changed the majority of the dialogue, being the scenes the most “preserved” element from the movie script. As for Erwin’s art, he delivers, and his designs are similar to the characters in the film, particularly the ones from Michael Keaton’s Bruce Wayne, Danny DeVito’s Penguin, and Christopher Walken’s Max Shreck. Colors had a similar vintage vibe from the previous adaptation, however, they were provided by Tom McCraw.
While there seems to be more elements from the film, added in here, O’Neil’s script feels off, unlike his work for the first Batman-movie adaptation. He changed most of the dialogue, and some of it seems way campier than in the actual film. It doesn’t help that this feels rush, even more than the first adaptation, and I might think that’s due to Erwin’s pencils; most of his panels are small and unimpactful, despite having designs that respect the actual appearance of the film’s production, but the panels that strike an impact are fewer than one might think. Erwin’s art is way less memorable than Jerry Ordway’s, despite not being half-bad. His greatest sin was not to be on the same level as the film’s photography, made by Stefan Czapsky, who in my opinion, achieve one of the best cinematography-directions for a Batman film. Ultimately, the art doesn’t live up to that expectation.
If you are a die-hard fan of Burton’s Batman, or like to collect movie-adaptations, this is a key item to check upon, although, it lacks the quality and aesthetical beauty of its predecessor. One might argue O’Neil only wrote this to cash a check, and mostly, the art was crafted in order to fulfill an schedule, but, it has a strong retro-quality to it that I cannot help but to appreciate. I have a soft spot for vintage comic books, and, just as Ordway’s, Erwin’s art gives the comic book a certain “pulp” feeling. I would’ve loved to have O’Neil more dedicated to, actually, recreate in a better way the film’s story, maybe complementing certain loose ends that the film never managed to expose or using deleted sequences as extra pages. Anyway, it is sufficiently enjoyable as it is, but it is far from being among the best comic book movie-adaptations.

Siempre he estado a favor de que la novela o el cómic hagan adaptaciones de éxitos cinematográficos. Algo con que desgraciadamente la gente no suele coincidir conmigo. Incluso yo era un fan de aquellas novelas que adaptaban películas de la Hammer de terror. Estaban muy escritas y se leían solas. En los cómics pasa un poco lo mismo, aunque con algo de mejor suerte. La segunda película de Burton sobre el murciélago titulada en España "Batman vuelve" no terminó de funcionar, y no porque no sea buena, que lo es, sino más bien porque la sensación de que Burton iba llevando al personaje de Bob Kane hacia un terreno cada vez más personal inquietaba a los guardianes de la tradición de DC Comics y Warner. Así que después después de esta volvieron a un look cercano a la serie de los sesenta, con más comedia y menos oscuridad que como todos sabemos fracasó, por partida doble.
En la adaptación del cómic volvieron a contar con el guionista oficial que es Dennis O'Neil, incluso escribió las de Nolan. Pero a pesar de contar con él, el cómic no tiene la misma calidad ni de lejos que el anterior. El dibujo, el color, la calidad gráfica no es ni parecida. No digo que sea mala pero el trabajo de Steve Erwin no llega más que a un correcto desempeño. Y sobre todo el entintado y el color se quedan en un pobre aprobado.
La edición que tengo no es la que aparece en la portada, sino una edición especial publicada en Argentina en 1992 que compré allí, y que es casi imposible encontrar en España. Lo que es la historia es estupenda porque el guion de la película lo era, y aunque es verdad que Batman (Michael Keaton) está muy desdibujado, la presencia del Pingüino compensa esa carencia. también Gatubela está fantástica, y le da una presencia erotizante muy potente.
En definitiva, un cómic de 6 sobre 10, que podría haber sido mejor, pero que posiblemente hubo una cierta intencionalidad en que no deslumbrase ya que el fin de la visión de Burton del superhéroe había llegado a su fin, y no interesaba que el "merchandising" sobre el mismo pudiera cambiar la decisión sobre el cambio de rumbo.

I got this comic as a kid, when I was not allowed to *see* the movie but was still interested in it.
As a kid, I loved this comic.
As an adult reading through it now, it really rushes the plot and doesn't entirely make sense at times. I can't tell if that's just because the source movie itself is a bit nonsensical or if they just had to cut too much to get it down to 64 pages.
As a piece of childhood nostalgia, this still gets to me. But if I'm being honest, no one really needs to read this comic.

The graphic novel adaption of the classic Tim Burton movie.
As the deformed Penguin rises from the sewers and attempts to seize control of Gotham City, Batman finds his hands full also facing Catwoman, who unleashes gleeful destruction upon the city.
I have always loved the movie this is based on, with Burton's two Batman films always having a special place in my heart (between you and me I almost wore-out a bootleg VHS of 'Batman Returns' as a kid). The dark and twisted reimaginings of Penguin and Catwoman were particularly iconic and here we get a version of the Batman who's had time to bed-in to his role as Gotham's protector.
However, as adaptions go this is probably best described as 'functional'. It's very short, for starters, and therefore a lot of the subtlety and subplots just don't make the cut here.
Far more disappointing, however, is that this book fails to capture the grimy sadistic menace of Danny DeVito's performance as the Penguin or of Michelle Pfeiffer's gloriously sensual turn as Catwoman. I don't think it could reasonably be expected to, but it's still a disappointment.

Loved this about the same as the 89 movie one, but this one slightly more because the adaptation felt more true to the movie. I would actually very much like to see re-issues of these movie edtitions, but with different artists.
January 17, 2021
Like the Batman '89 adaptation, there's fun to be had here and the artwork is spot on. There aren't as many deviations between book and film as the first adaptation, but still and enjoyable experience.

A cool, concise, stylish comic adaptation of the best out of the original four Batman films. The film's Expressionist tone goes well with the somewhat gothic look of early nineties Batman comics; Max Shreck is still a deeply underused character in the canon.

March 1, 2022I found my weathered copy of this from childhood (the cover is not attached to the book anymore, but is still wrapped around it). I read this a LOT as a kid because I wasn’t allowed to see what would eventually become my favorite Batman movie. Not giving a star review because this is what it is.

Better than the Batman 89 Movie Adaptation also adapted by Denny, better characters, better story, better artwork, no pencil pages in between. Still kinda couldn’t wait for it to be over, I’ve seen the movie!

This may very well be the first comic I ever read. It’s nearly word for word the dialogue of the film… but the artwork is what truly sets it apart from your average adaptation. José Luis García-López is the artist behind some of the most iconic superhero imagery of all time. Seeing his interpretations of Burton’s Catwoman is as good as it gets for this nerdy gal. 🖤

The late great Dennis O'Neil once again pens this adaptation of the second and final installment in the Tim Burton Batman duology, Batman Returns. Although the first Batman film will always be my personal favorite, I feel that this movie does a better job of showcasing Burton's take on the Batman mythos (in particular developing Gotham City's unique appearance and atmosphere) and it's overall a more cohesive film. Although I still enjoyed this graphic novel quite a bit, I'm not sure this adaptation translated the film as well as the first one. The events seem a bit choppier and less organized (despite the opposite being true of the film), and Batman is not quite as stoic as in the previous entry, frequently cracking jokes and delivering one-liners that would fit better in a Spider-Man adaptation. The art is definitely on point once again (despite Jerry Ordway being replaced by Steve Erwin) and the
wrap-around cover art by Dave Dorman is absolutely GORGEOUS (probably my favorite of this series). Another enjoyable entry in the Batman film series adaptations.

A fun way to revisit the iconic Tim Burton film Batman Returns. This comic adaptation by Denny O’Neil follows the film closely and brings back nostalgia for it.
As you would expect, it is fairly bare bones. Penguin comes across as a much sillier and less threatening character here than in the film. Selina also appears much more cartoonish as a character and I struggled to find her believable without Pfeiffer’s performance.
It feels like O’Neil toned down some of the more outrageous aspects of the film for this adaptation interestingly.
Steve Erwin’s art is a perfect fit for Keaton’s Batman and his world. So I greatly enjoyed that aspect of it
