Well, 30 years ago I was enjoying #BatmanReturns on VHS tape that I got for the holidays. After being presented with the difficult task of introducing this subject matter from #comics to screen, #TimBurton had used creative freedom gained from the first film's success to embrace #GermanExpressionism and include interesting themes of #duality, #feminism, #capitalism, and #corporatism. And then, sadly, it was all gone - due in large part to that very corporatism. And yet, all these years later (and having paved a way for the #MCU), it finally receives the credit it deserves. I wrote about it all a few years ago here: https://www.mediaactivist.com/2012/08/14/batman-making-a-killing-part-one/
