BATMAN RETURNS (1992)

BATMAN RETURNS - the 1992 sequel to BATMAN is actually a Tim Burton film, with Tim Burton characters, and "Batman" in name only. It is a dark, macabre, morose, overly bizarre, plotless "art film," that tries passing for a Batman movie.

Michael Keaton returns as Batman who is chasing baddies Catwoman (Michelle Pfieffer) and The Penguin (Danny De Vito) - or are they chasing him? If you like a Batman who kills, a revived from death by cat-licks Catwoman, and a Penguin who sprews black mucus from his mouth and lives in the sewers, this is the film for you! Oh, and Batman yet again plays second fiddle to the villains - this time even more so.
