Best Anti-Holiday Movies If You’re Over Christmas

“Batman Returns” is one of the freakiest superhero movies of all time, and it puts Batman and Catwoman right under the mistletoe.

The sequel to 1989’s “Batman,” “Batman Returns” stars Michael Keaton once again as Bruce Wayne, aka Batman. This time, he’s joined by Michelle Pfeiffer as Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, Danny DeVito as the Penguin, and Christopher Walken as sleazy businessman Max Shreck.

Director Tim Burton’s gothic version of Gotham City is all decked out for the holidays in “Batman Returns,” covered in snow, Christmas lights, and a huge tree. Plus, one of the most famous lines from the movie involves the potential lethal nature of mistletoe.

This sequel isn’t for the faint of heart, with the Penguin’s overall disgusting vibe, the multiple attempted murders of Catwoman, and the overall dour vibes of Gotham City.

“Batman Returns” is streaming on HBO Max.
