Queer Classics - Twisted Holiday Edition:
BATMAN RETURNS (1992)
Saturday, Dec 14, 3pm
🎟️ link in bio!
There’s no place like Gotham for the holidays. Meow.
Tim Burton really knew how to speak to the weirdo inside us all, and how make Hollywood pay to put his delightfully perverse visions on the screen. That’s because everyone felt cool being their weirder darker self when a new Burton movie came out back then. And he struck us right in the heart of darkness with this gem in the early 90s. Let’s all appreciate the gift that this major studio mashup of gothic fetishism and comic book lore is, together at The New Parkway this December! The best place to appreciate its gothic glory is on a movie screen, where BATMAN RETURNS returns again for one day only!
Maybe this year you might forgive Batman a little more for his unprocessed trauma pipeline to vigilante justice. Thankfully Catwoman is here to rein him in! If you have never seen Michelle Pfeiffer as (easily) the best Catwoman of them all-stop what you’re doing and buy tickets to this movie immediately! So many awakenings happened when she hit the big screen back in 1992, slaying in her leather cat suit; and you deserve that revelatory experience. Join your fellow queers and let’s fill the theatre for this one-of-a-kind holiday movie!
This is the finale of our”Superior Sequels” series to end the year, and it feels like the right movie at the right time. Beyond the appeal of the sensual interplay between Batman and Catwoman (rubber leather crossover) we also have the strange spectacle of Gotham City grimly persisting with holiday celebrations as chaos explodes around them. Then there are actual villains in the face of toxic philandering billionaire Max Shreck (a malevolent Christoper Walken) and the most grotesque interpretation of The Penguin character ever committed to celluloid (Danny DeVito in his most fearless performance) who seem like two halves of a real and recognizable figure. At least in Burton’s world, these wannabe autocrats get their comeuppance.
