The monstrous Penguin (Danny DeVito), who lives in the sewers beneath Gotham, joins up with wicked shock-headed businessman Max Shreck (Christopher Walken) to topple the Batman (Michael Keaton) once and for all. But when Shreck's timid assistant, Selina Kyle (Michelle Pfeiffer), finds out, and Shreck tries to kill her, she is transformed into the sexy Catwoman. She teams up with the Penguin and Shreck to destroy Batman, but sparks fly unexpectedly when she confronts the caped crusader.

Jun 20, 2016The highlight of this film would have to be the villains. Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman and Danny DeVito's Penguin were nearly flawless. Keaton also turns in a good performance as Bruce Wayne and Batman, but the script lacks a little in what the first film brought to the screen. The campy circus henchmen were a necessary evil, but took a little away from the film unfortunately. The dynamic between Keaton and Pfeiffer really made up for a lot of what the film was lacking.Patrick W Super Reviewer

May 02, 2016My favourite of the batman films (as of May 2016) and one that is really in a league of its own. Poor old Tim had a hard time making his version of Batman with the predecessor, and finally had granted some more creative control here. It's a long story but basically, Tim Burton is the guy who could have easily made the best superhero movies EVER, but got fucked around by the studios and thier greed for money. What's new eh? Anyway, this is actually a very dark (albeit appropriately comical) meditation on loneliness and the urge for love and sexual gratification, and how it can drive people mad. Fucking love this flick. Danny De Vito at his best and Michelle at hers, no doubt.

Mar 22, 2016Batman Returns is slightly better than the first movie. Danny DeVito is perfectly casted as The Penguin, he is creepy and at the same time you see where he's coming from. Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman... arguably the best portrayal of Catwoman on screen! Michael Keaton is again good as Batman/Bruce Wayne. Overall Batman Returns is really good, I like it slightly more than the previous film and this film is great nostalgic, stylish, darkly comic fun!Mr N Super Reviewer

Mar 15, 2016Returning us to Tim Burton's hauntingly atmospheric version of Gotham, this delightfully funereal sequel indulges the director's vision all the more while introducing some iconic iterations of classic villains. If Batman was a comic book movie directed by Tim Burton, then Batman Returns is a Tim Burton movie about a comic book character. Lured back by Warner Brothers after the mega-success of the first go-round, the auteur boasts more control on this follow-up, which makes the Caped Crusader a supporting character in the director's own dark carnival. In Burton's PG-13-rated sequel to Batman, a corrupt businessman (Christopher Walken) and the grotesque Penguin plot to take control of Gotham City, only Batman (Keaton) can stop them, while the Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer) has her own agenda. While some of Batman seems cartoonish, much of Batman Returns is purposely cartoonish. Still, there's no denying the entertainment value of this funtastic spectacle. While watching his indelible vision of The Penguin and Catwoman as performed by DeVito and Pfeiffer, you feel Keaton falling further into the shadows, but Burton's takes us through the looking glass into to a shadow-steeped character-filled Wonderland long before he intends on tackling Lewis Carroll. Bottom line: Dynamic Do-OverJeff B Super Reviewer
