Danny DeVito makes me really enjoy this film. Like, seriously I love him in this movie. Sure, the character is turned into a super Tim Burton style villain, but I don't care. It is hilariously engaging. So yea, this one certainly turns a bit stronger into the Burton style altogether with the first one's success. I think after that, he got to do exactly what he wanted. Some directors do a better job when restrained a bit. Otherwise he gets pretty out there and all his films feel exactly the same. A lot of people complain because of that, but it doesn't bother me that much. Probably just because I've seen it so I don't walk into the viewing expecting something else anymore. But yea, Penguin, Catwoman, Batman, Alfred, and CHRISTOPHER WALKEN all keep me engaged throughout.

Ah, Batman Returns, is it possible to have a sequel to be almost as good as the original? With Batman Returns, it came pretty close! We have terrific actors and a great plot with the dark knight and two new villains, Catwoman and The Penguin. We have Michael Keaton back as Batman and he's still awesome than ever. Michelle Pfieffer, the perfect choice for Catwoman and was perfectly cast into place. Danny DeVito, who could have imagined him as The Penguin? He was just great and terrifying!

Batman's a bit limp. Penguin"s terrifying. Catwoman's smoking hot. Christopher Walken is good but are they seriously telling us they couldn't find a proper villain for him to play? Danny Devito and Michelle Pfeiffer earned this 2 extra :hearts:'s.

7.4/10. *Batman Returns* is a firm step up from the *Batman* film that precedes it, but it’s also a firm step away from the character’s source material and toward Burton’s ethos and aesthetic. Batman’s no killing code has been scrapped; his enemies’ backstories and personalities have been More

“Batman Returns” is a gem that could only have been made in the ‘90s. Directed by Tim Burton, the movie is a gothic parade of visual oddities and characters that flirt with the grotesque, all wrapped up like one of the darkest Christmas presents ever. While many superhero movies get lost tryin More

Very little worked for me in this film. Where Tim Burton's first outing with the caped crusader at least had Jack Nicholson's Joker to carry me through the dated special effects and overly cartoony elements, this film doesn't find that success with Danny Devito's Penguin. I was just not a fan of t More

**Batman Returns overplays the comic book campiness of the decade and Burton's strange style but is balanced by astonishing performances and a more contained superhero story.**

Warner Bros was quick to begin production on a sequel to Batman (1989) after its colossal success literally saved the st More
