Profile of Batman Returns

Batman Returns can be described as stylized, exciting, and gloomy. The plot revolves around secret identities, superhuman powers, and superheroes. The main genres are fantasy, action, and crime. In terms of style, Batman Returns has a Hollywood tone and involves twists and turns. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. The movie has received attention for being a blockbuster, an award winner, and critically acclaimed. Batman Returns is well suited for a date night, teens, and a boys' night. Note that it involves violent content.

Summary of Batman Returns

In director Tim Burton's sequel to his successful BATMAN (1989), the Caped Crusador (Michael Keaton) is pitted against the demented, ravenous Penguin (Danny DeVito), a pitiful, orphaned psychopathic freak who once went on a baby-killing spree, and a "power" hungry capitalist villain Max Shreck (Christopher Walken). As the two criminals plot to gain domination over Gotham City, BATMAN must plot to stop them.

In the highly stylized BATMAN RETURNS--complete with dark, Gothic architecture and moody lighting--Batman (and his alter-ego Bruce Wayne) is thrown a third enemy, a terrible distraction: Cat Woman (fearlessly and fabulously played by Michelle Pfeiffer). She is the slinky, sharp-clawed alter-ego of Shreck's secretary Selina. Batman must overcome his own dark past, and his present love entanglements, to rid Gotham of it's evil enemies, this time with even more intricately designed sets and tongue-in-cheek humor, making BATMAN RETURNS an action-packed, but darkly fun adventure.

Yet another loud, pointless, idiotic superhero movie. Very slightly redeemed (for a few brief moments) by Michelle Pfeiffer in latex. Look for "catwoman meow" on Youtube -- it's a great 15 seconds, and it's the only thing worth seeing in the entire... Read and rate it

I give Batman Returns an average rating, because the pros and cons of the film really do split right down the middle. The pros: Michael Keaton and Michelle Pfeiffer. Pfeiffer does a particularly good job as the newly christened Catwoman (Yes, the... Read and rate it
