Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video: The first Batman sequel takes a wicked turn with the villainous exploits of the freakish and mean-spirited Penguin (Danny DeVito), whose criminal collaboration with evil tycoon Max Shreck (Christopher Walken) threatens to drain Gotham City of its energy supply. As if that weren't enough, Batman (Michael Keaton) has his hands full with the vengeful Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer), who turns out to be a lot more dangerous than a kitten with a whip. As with the first Batman feature, director Tim Burton brings his distinct visual style to the frantic action, but this time there's a darker malevolence lurking beneath all that extraordinary production design. --Jeff Shannon

With the success of 1989's "Batman", Warner Brothers obviously saw the potential for a franchise in this darker and more serious interpretation of the Dark Knight.

The Good Things
*Loads of great action and a few very nifty special effects.
*Cinematography is as good as the previous film, if not better. It's definately darker and more dramatic.

*Storyline, although more complex, is great. Expect good amounts of drama, action, a bit of romance, and a bit of comedy.
*Characters are great. The genesis for both ... Read More

After the 1989 "Batman" film brought the iconic superhero back to being a household name, "Batman Returns" followed it with another quality installment in the Batman franchise.
With Bruce Wayne's backstory already dealt with, this film focuses on his interaction with the two main villians, Catwoman and Penguin. The style and the feel of the film (very gothic) are in line with the original film, unlike the splashy future Joel Schumacher installments or the gritty, realist Christopher Nolan films. ...
