Batman Returns
The worst part about spending Christmas in Gotham is the asteroid-sized lump of coal that Santa drops on the crime-ridden city every year.
However, the villains in this action movie are deadlier than any carbonized plant could ever be.
A malformed child–cast out by his parents and reared by waterfowl–returns to Gotham during the holidays as a misunderstood misanthrope called The Penguin (Danny DeVito).
Simultaneously, the secretary (Michelle Pfeiffer) of a corrupt businessman (Christopher Walken) survives her boss' murder attempt and later adopts the guise of Catwoman.
Meanwhile, Batman (Michael Keaton) ponders the Penguin's pretext, while pursuing Catwoman with and without his cowl.
The edgy sequel to Tim Burton's Batman, Batman Returns' over-the-top Penguin performance is balanced out by Pfeiffer's quintessential portrayal of the femme feline.
As for what to give a vigilante millionaire for Christmas: How about an acrobat-orphan boy that he can dress in tight short-shorts? (Yellow Light)
