Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
With 1989's Batman, Tim Burton's bold visual style, the late Anton Furst's stunning production design, and the dark dance between doppelgangers suggested by Michael Keaton's tortured Batman and Jack Nicholson's demonic Joker rejuvenated the caped crusader's franchise while setting a dauntingly high bar for any sequel. It's not surprising, then, that 1992's Batman Returns couldn't match the sheer impact of its predecessor, yet the subsequent passing of the baton to Joel Schumacher, and the title hero's retreat to a more conventional persona, make the second Burton Batman worth another look. Perhaps reasoning that the appeal of two dueling schizoids might be upped by adding a third, Batman Returns pits millionaire Bruce Wayne and his alter ego against two equally split personalities, Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer) and the Penguin (Danny DeVito). If the equation yields less than the desired sum, it still gives Pfeiffer and DeVito room for oversized, properly gothic performances, and the very feline Pfeiffer, in particular, has a field day. DeVito's cackling, mutant orphan is nearly as riveting, and the story might have fared better if the scriptwriting committee hadn't tossed in a third villain, Christopher Walken's rapacious industrialist, Max Schreck (coyly named for the actor who played the earliest screen vampire, Count Orlock, in F. W. Murnau's German expressionist classic, Nosferatu), thereby pushing the plot toward rococo excess. Bo Welch's production design sustains the brooding mix of deco and gothic established by Furst, and Danny Elfman's dark, stirring score helps pick up some of the slack. --Sam Sutherland

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Dark, different, underrated
I won't discuss the plot or give any spoilers. I just want to say a few things about this movie.

When I saw Tim Burton's first offering in the series, Batman (1989), I thought the inevitable sequel might struggle to achieve what the first movie achieved because it was a tough act to follow. The 1989 movie was dark, gothic, and had a fantastic score by Danny Elfman that made the movie even better, yet at the same time this movie had a lot of humor (thanks in part to The Joker being ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Good Sequel
Batman returns again in Batman Returns. This movie is still goood but it didn't really feel as cool as the first one though. But it is still a movie you should see.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Batman Returns: And Boy Does He Ever?
In the original, Batman (Michael Keaton) had the deal with the hijinks of the nefarious Joker. Now, he's got two villains to deal with, one worse than the other. The first is the Penguin (Danny Devito), a sewer-dwelling freak with bird-like hands whose cruelty by his parents have turned him a psychotic madman. The other is Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer), a femme fatale in a swanky cat suit whose alter ego is Salina Kyle. She has a going for Batman and the two form a love-hate relationship that is the ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Before Ledger There Was Pfeiffer and DeVito
Before Nolan's Batman films came out, this was my favorite Batman movie. Like The Dark Knight, Batman Returns is very villain-centered. The rogues gallery were always my favorite part of the comics as well as the film franchise. In this installment we get two villains who at the time seemed like the last bad guys you'd pick. The Penguin and Catwoman? Tim Burton had a feeling and he went for it. He put a unique twist on these two forever that would reshape the world of Batman. His twisted dark ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - One flaw...only
I really enjoyed this movie, I love the simplicity of the characters and way the scenes edited. Max Shrek being my favorite character. This movie could've done a little more in the realm of Bruce Wayne's character but its good. My only complaint is that this film is obviously filmed on a soundstage. Every scene its just blatant and thats the only downer.
