Rather than delve into my reasons why (I'll save that for another day), I'll just tell you that this 11 year-old had more spending money in his pockets and could actively chase down/purchase Batman Returns paraphernalia in a more reckless manner than his 1989 self was able to do for the first Burton Batman film. While it was THE movie of my youth and I will fight anyone to the death who tells me Heath Ledger is a better Joker, I've always liked 1992's Batman Returns more. THE movie of MY youth was Tim Burton's 1989 Batman starring Micheal Keaton and Jack Nicholson. Maybe a few notable ones, but there's always THE movie. When you finally got a chance to see it, it was a HUGE event and it lived up to (and possibly exceeded) your expectations. (For reference here, I'm saying 'youth' is anywhere from 6 to 13 years old.) It was the movie that all of your friends talked about for months beforehand, it was being advertised EVERYWHERE, and it generated a lot of hype for several weeks/months leading up to it. 'THE movie of your youth' was the one that had the GREATEST profound effect on you.
