“I got around that by making bigger, bolder and stronger moves from the torso up, and it worked.”īatman Returns was a victim of franchise-mania. “It was a practical move early on to move in a certain way because they hadn’t refined the suit and it wouldn’t function properly, ” says Keaton. His trademark full- body turns were born out of necessity, mainly the fact that he couldn’t turn his head. Keaton’s Batsuit wasn’t without its faults. “Once I realized how powerful the suit was in terms of an image on screen, I just used it,” says Keaton. Keaton preferred to let the suit do most of the talking.
When I saw the final film, I realized he was exactly right.” This is a good speech, but you gotta take it out.’ He wanted to have very minimal dialogue, especially in the Batsuit. Michael Keaton would go through the script and say, ‘Hey, that’s a great line, but you gotta cut it. “My version of the script had more a lot more Batman and Bruce Wayne speeches.

I remember telling Tim halfway through the script that I’d do the film, that’s how excited I was.”ĭetermined to make the most out of her time as Catwoman, Pfeiffer threw herself into mastering the whip and kickboxing. When I heard that Tim was making the film and Catwoman had already been cast, I was devastated,” says Pfeiffer. “As a young girl, I was completely obsessed with Catwoman. Pfeiffer may be the definitive big-screen Catwoman, but it was a role she almost missed out on. Michelle Pfeiffer was crushed when another star was cast as Catwoman. Here, the film’s key players - Burton, Keaton, Pfeiffer, DeVito, Christopher Walken, composer Danny Elfman and screenwriter Daniel Waters - look back on the insane sets (complete with temperamental penguins), script changes (Batman shouldn’t talk so much) and a costume so hard to fit into that it was vacuum-sealed.
