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

Rating:  - Tragic irony or poetic justice?
This review focuses on Burton's Batman (Batman89, Batman Returns), Nolan's Batman (Batman Begins, the Dark Knight), and 1992 original Batman: The Animated Series. I'm excluding Schumacher's Batman (Batman Forever, Batman and Robin), the 1960's Batman series, and "The Batman", simply because I believe they are the weakest representations.
To be perfectly honest, I love Burton, Nolan, and BTAS equally. All three interpretations are so different, that they cannot be compared. And it is ... Read More
Rating: - "You don't think you'll win do you? ... Things Change"
The Best Batman EVER!!! Forget The Dark Knight and Batman Begins... well don't forget those, they were pretty good too.
But come on, Tim Burton in top form, Michelle Pfeiffer, Danny DeVito in the best role he ever had and the best performance he has given!!! Sure you hardly see Michael Keaton but when he's on he's on. I wish he would return to this role or to Beetlejuice for that matter.
I saw this movie in the theater 5 times, with different people, totally in love with ... Read More
Rating:  - Evil industrialist, crazed cat lady and overplayed misfit, what more could you ask.
Its dark its bloody,it made a bad choice of an actor its Batman Returns. Like the previous movie the sequel is dark. Michelle Pfeifer(?) does a good job as Catwoman but Danny Devito's portrayl of The Peinguin was a little overplayed. Their was one scene that seemed out of place, its the part were he bites the guys nose, why was it necesary. Christopher Walken did a good job as Max Schreck. Micheal Keaton did a fine job again as Batman. The movies great but has some kwirks, its better than the next two ... Read More
Rating: - Batman's Darker, More Twisted, & Semi-Disappointing Return...
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. Wasting little time in putting a sequel in motion, director Tim Burton ("Batman") and star Michael Keaton returned three years later to once more fight crime within Gotham City with "Batman Returns".
"Batman Returns" follows Batman's (Michael Keaton) continuing war on crime in and around Gotham City. After taking on the likes of ... Read More
Rating: - Tim Burton's Batman is genius
While not as impeccable as the original batman, this sequel is still a mastrpiece in its own right. its more tim burton than it is batman. but tim's implemented ideas where genuine and genius. he totally recreated the penguin for the better!! before this he was just a rich snob, now in the comics he's depicted as a monster. thats how influential this film was. i also love how dark it is. THIS AINT FOR KIDS!!! michelle phiffer was excellent as catwoman and devito was remarkable as the penguin! he had some ... Read More
