Batman Returns
1992 PG-13 ACTION 2h 6min
CAST— Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Michael Gough, Pat Hingle, Michael Murphy
MUSIC— Danny Elfman DIRECTOR— Tim Burton BASED ON— Characters appearing in DC Comics
Batman delivers again in this darkly fun sequel directed once again by Tim Burton. This time the brooding protector of Gotham has his hands full with two deadly enemies, The Penguin and Catwoman. The plot needs a little work: Penguin wants to rule Gotham by becoming mayor, so he joins up with Catwoman to rid the city of Batman. Returns is a darker film than the first but it’s still fun. A new director with vastly different ideas helms the sequels after this. So if you want to see Gotham City at its most Gothic, stick with the first two films, then you might wanna check out Batman Begins (2005).
