In my book, Batman Returns is way better than the first Tim Burton-helmed Caped Crusader flick. Bruce Wayne/Batman continues to fight crime and corruption in Gotham. Two known comics villains emerges in the movie, Selena Kyle/Catwoman (deliciously played by Michelle Pfeiffer) and Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin (Danny DeVito). And one utterly creepy businessman named Max Shreck played by Christopher Walken. The british rock group Siouxsie And The Banshees sang the 'lesser known' theme of Batman Returns. FACE TO FACE
sung by: Siouxsie And The Banshees
Face to face
My lovely foe
Mouth to mouth
Raining heaven’s blows
Hand on heart
Tic tac toe
Under the stars
Naked as we flow
Cheek to cheek
The bitter sweet
Commit your crime in your deadly time
It’s too divine
I want to bend
I want this bliss but something says
I must resist
Another life
Another time
We’re Siamese twins writhing intertwined
Face to face
No telling lies
The masks they slide to reveal a new disguise
You never can win
It’s the state I’m in
This danger thrills and my conflict kills
They say follow your heart
Follow it through
But how can you
When you’re split in two?
And you’ll never know
You’ll never know…
One more kiss
Before we die
Face to face
And dream of flying
Who are you?
Who am I?
Wind in wings
Two angels falling
To die like this
With a last kiss
It’s falsehood’s flame
It’s a crying shame
Face to face
The passions breathe
I hate to stay but then I hate to leave
And you’ll never know
You’ll never know . . .
