Shot by cinematographer Stefan Czapsky.
On this week’s Shot by Shot podcast, myself – H. Perry Horton – and co-host/OPS Founder Geoff Todd are discussing one of the greatest sequels of our childhood, Tim Burton’s 1992 flick Batman Returns, shot by Stefan Czapsky.
Batman Returns was Czapsky’s second of three collaborations with Burton, the first being Edward Scissorhands and the third being Ed Wood. Outside of Burton, Czapsky was somewhat all over the place, shooting horror (Child’s Play 2), drama (Last Exit to Brooklyn, Prelude to a Kiss), comedy (Blades of Glory) and family films (Matilda, Max), but Batman Returns with its aesthetic influenced by both Gothic architecture and German Expressionism is easily the best work of his career, and we’re about to tell you why.
If this is your first listen to our show, the format’s simple: each week Geoff and I each pick a few shots from a certain film and discuss their effect and significance. Check out our previous episodes:
