Batman to this day is a top 10 favourite movie of mine and my favourite hero movie ever.

Returns on the other hand is more of a classic Tim Burton movie. Only edge Returns has is a sexy af Pfeiffer Catwoman.
 
I found this video about the origins of Jack Nicholson's make up pretty interesting.

 
I haven't seen Batman 89 in high def so I can't say if it's the same there, but watching Batman Returns in high def, and you can see that it has some of the most shoddily constructed sets for a big budget movie. One of the biggest budgets at the time of it's release and the sets look like they are made out of cardboard. Some of the costumes and makeup are pretty bad too. It's still cool as fuck though.

They destroy it all through this commentary and now I can’t unsee it.

“Is that the Monarch Theatre again?!”
“They only built 100 feet of Gotham and they are using every inch of it!”
 
The Keaton Batman movies were the best of that era by a mile. But none come even close to the Nolan Trilogy
 
The first one was a bit better due to being more original and not quite as wacky, but Batman Returns is a legit sequel, and I enjoyed it a lot. Danny DeVito's Penguin was great.

Michael Keaton
Danny DeVito
Christopher Walken
Michelle Pfieffer
Michael Gough as Alfred

Burton did the all star ensemble Batman movie first.
 
This is an unfair comparison.

Batman is better but i love returns for its replayability.

NEVER understood the dislike for returns.
