Features Batman Returns (1992)

Costume work

This is a special feature found on the 2-Disc Special Edition of Batman Returns, a DVD released in 2005, and is based entirely around the costumes of said film. It is comprised of behind the scenes footage, interview bits and clips of the movie itself, for example and for effect. Sketches and concept artwork is also put in. All three main cast actors are in the interviews, talking about their own costume, someone else's costume, or the experience of making the film. The crew share an anecdote or two, and take you through the costumes, spending about the appropriate amount of time on each(depending on how much there was to say about it, and/or how heavily it was featured). This is about 13 and a half minutes long, in total, and it fits pretty well. It's well-paced, never really slows down or ceases to be informational and interesting. It's edited quite well, the point gets across with no flashy parts, and it's all tight enough. If you want to know more about the costumes of the feature, this is where to look. I recommend this to any fan of Batman Returns, its main actors, the crew and anyone looking to find out more about Burton's second Batman piece, in particular the costume work of it. 7/10
