Good

This takes you through the sets of Batman Returns, and is featured on the recently released special edition 2-Disc DVD release. It is made up of behind the scenes footage and a series of interview bits of the crew, in which they talk about, you guessed it, the sets. Various clips of the film are inter-cut where appropriate. In about eleven and a half minutes, this details what it revolves around quite concisely, and tells you a lot in little time. They talk about the mansions, the rooms, set-pieces and design, and Gotham, both the architecture and how the snow was accomplished. The interviews are mostly the crew, no actors, and Burton. This is an interesting special feature, and definitely worth watching for any fan of the people behind the movie, and the movie itself, as well as anyone who wants to know more about it, and more about the making of it. It's got a fine pace. The editing is good. I recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about the production design of Batman Returns, the movie and/or the people behind it, and any fan of any of the aforementioned. 7/10
