Batman Returns sees Gotham facing chaos once again as the grotesque Penguin rises from the city’s underworld and manipulative business tycoon Max Shreck uses Selina Kyle’s transformation into Catwoman for his own schemes. Bruce Wayne must battle enemies who reflect the darkness within Gotham itself. Based on DC Comics characters, the sequel became a darker and stranger follow-up to Batman (1989).
Batman Returns feels like Tim Burton being handed a superhero sequel and deciding to make the strangest gothic Christmas movie possible. Danny DeVito’s Penguin is disturbing, Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman is legendary, and the entire film feels more like a dark fairy tale than a comic blockbuster. It is weird, stylish and far riskier than modern studio sequels would ever allow. For many fans, Pfeiffer remains the definitive Catwoman.
