SNIP

Thanks a lot for the info. Now that purchasing some collectibles is a possibility, I've become very wary (now it's "real money" not just the "I'm gonna buy that!" immediacy that comes when I can't actually buy them) and want to research everything to the max before pulling the trigger.

Batman Returns would have been so much better if they chose better villains, and if Two-Face was born.

Catwoman was excellent though. Just not really so much the Penguin.

I quite enjoyed Danny Devito's Penguin.

I quite enjoyed Danny Devito's Penguin.

I did too.. and I hate that character. But he owned that role. Not a big fan of Returns as a whole though. I stopped liking anything regarding that franchise after the original 89' Batman. IMO the movies got worse and worse.

Forever and B & R doesn't exist in my view after Returns. Soon as I heard "I'll get drive through" it was all over for me. I still watched it but I knew it would be cheesy.

They'll remain on VHS for me forever.

I just had to own Batman on DVD. I never had it on VHS, just recordings and it was usually the ones that was filtered out with the burned scenes and sword fighting scenes with Batman. Sometimes they aired it. Sometimes not. I don't see why that part was cut out with Batman. Nothing was cut in Batman Returns but I did like the coziness of the Christmas look to Returns.

Usually that stuff is filtered out to make room for commercials - it's not really integral to the plot, so they chop a little bit out. That's why I stopped watching movies on TV altogether.

Returns is my favorite.

I wanted a Penguin who is a monopoly man looking guy with a hooked nose and likes penguins. not some freak of nature who grew up in a sewer. Leave it to Burton...

 

[intothevoid]

Well if he were to pop up in the next Nolan Batman, he would likely be similar to what you describe ^. Would be interesting

I'm pretty sure i heard somewhere that they were thinking of putting Harvey Dent in Batman Returns and starting the whole Two-Face thing, but they felt they already had too many characters. Returns was one of my favourite films when it came out. Cant believe how excited i was when i saw the adverts for the cinema. lol.

harvey dent was in returns wasnt he? only as a minor character played by the same guy who play lando calrissian from star wars. or am i getting that mixed up with batman? was a while ago since ive seen either to be honest

If Penguin is in the next movie, he shouldn't bear any resemblance to, or have any affinity for, penguins, other than wearing a suit. Otherwise, it'd be far too goofy and you couldn't really take him seriously as a mobster.

"Penguin," like most street names, should be based on a one-time incident or joke where someone gives him a nickname for it. You ever see "The Wire?" The opening scene shows you how goofy sounding nicknames are acquired on the street - that's what I'm talking about.

You're thinking of Batman, not Batman Returns. See the last page for how Dent was going to be, but was not ultimately in, Returns.

 

[EdwardNashton1]

There wouldn't be anything wrong with him liking Penguins, just don't take it too far. But I wouldn't want him in the next movie as it is. Let someone who decides to take it upon themselves to continue the movies after Nolan is done.

Hot Toys DX Joker question

I just bought one, and it arrived today. But the eyes don't move, is there anything I have to do to move the eyes or do they move themselves?

Thanks guys

 

[Balsquat]

Re: Hot Toys DX Joker question

I just got one this week as well. They seem to stick a little, I applied a little more pressure and it worked, what exactly do you mean "move themselves"?

 

[Maglor]

Yeah, I don't get that either.

DX Joker Help

Hi, I just purchased a DX Joker but the eyes do not move.

Is my head broken? or do I myself have to move the eyes?

 

[JacktheRipper]

Re: DX Joker Help

If you don't move them the figure won't move them by itself.

Did you remove the hair from the back of the head and move the lever?

 

[villainsfan42]

Re: DX Joker Help

or do I myself have to move the eyes?

um....it's not alive, ya know...

step one: open instruction manual that comes with the figure (located under the figure stand in the box)

step two: read instructions

step three: follow instructions

if you follow the instructions correctly, you should be able to move the eyes.

Spoiler

take off the back hair piece, move the joystick in the head. duh.

Please show a little decency to people, no matter how rediculous a question might seem.
