Returning to Batman Returns

My favorite Christmas movies are not ones that your standard normies would choose. No It’s a Wonderful Life in my top five or even ten. Instead, and to give you an idea of how I roll, my two favorite Christmas movies are Batman Returns (1992) and Black Christmas (1974). Clearly, I like my Yuletide cinema … Continue reading Returning to Batman Returns →

Michelle Monday

Catwoman debuted in Batman #1, which went on sale April 25, 1940. That means our favorite feline fatale turns 85 this week. Amazingly, she still doesn’t look a day over 30 because, kids, comics! “I am Catwoman…hear me roar.” I love almost every incarnation of Selina Kyle as Catwoman, from comics to screen, over those … Continue reading Michelle Monday →

For more than thirty years now I’ve been completely obsessed with Michelle Pfeiffer’s hair and makeup in her post-transformation scenes as Selina Kyle in Batman Returns. I mean, what’s not to obsess over?? Frankly, I’d be concerned if I wasn’t obsessed. Excellent work by the film’s hair and makeup team, including Ronnie Specter, who’s done … Continue reading Michelle Monday →

Bad Girls We Love: Sofia Falcone in The Penguin

I watched The Penguin for the plot. The plot: Hallelujah, our savior has arrived. It only took thirty-two years, but the spiritual successor to Michelle Pfeiffer’s Selina Kyle has finally emerged. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Cristin Milioti, as Sofia Falcone. In the recent HBO series The Penguin, my new crush Cristin Milioti … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Sofia Falcone in The Penguin →

Take a look at this PFABULOUS Michelle from Batman Returns statue set. I am gobsmacked. JND Studios absolutely nailed the likeness. I’m speechless. This is a work of art and I just own it!! Unfortunately, but understandably given the painstaking work that must’ve gone into this m, it’s astronomically expensive. Anybody want to contribute to … Continue reading Michelle Monday →

Batman Returns is a Christmas Miracle

Spending Christmas in Gotham City is an annual tradition for diehard fans of Batman Returns (1992). I have to watch the movie sometime in December—and often several times this month—and nothing brings me more Yuletide spirit than the most gloriously bizarre and unapologetically kinky superhero movie ever made. Tim Burton and screenwriters Daniel Waters and … Continue reading Batman Returns is a Christmas Miracle →

Hot Shots of the Week: Gotham City’s Ice Princess

“The tree lights up, and then I push the button. No-no, wait, wait, wait, wait. I press the button and *then* the tree lights up...” It wouldn’t be the holidays without the delightfully ditzy Ice Princess from Batman Returns (1992)—played brilliantly by Cristi Conaway—lighting up Gotham City’s Christmas tree. As cinematic dumb blondes go, she’s … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Gotham City’s Ice Princess →
