Osmosis Iron "Batman Returns" feels a lot like its predecessor "Batman(1989)" before it, but everything turned up a notch. It's darker, even more atmospheric and more violent. It also started the trend of two villains per movie, and was one of the few to pull it off, at least back then! The Christmas setting is great and works like a charm with the already overly gothic tone and look. Action is great and stylish, Batman is cool and intimidating. There is a lot of new gadgets and the Batmobile has also new tricks up it's sleeve. Full of dark humor and a bit twisted moments. Both villains are memorable for different reasons. Michelle Pfeiffer is the perfect Catwoman and Danny DeVito is great as a disturbing and grotesque version of the Penguin character. To top that off Christopher Walken has also an awesome part! This is the logical and awesome continuation from Batman(1989) and it remains one of my favorite comic book films to this day. Perfect Christmas viewing :)

morganstephens512 I say that this film probably had the best depictions of death out of all the Batman movies, especially with all of catgirls deaths and the guy trying to take over the city. DeVito does a excellent job playing the penguin and he is probably the best villain in the series. However the dialogue is beyond painful and the performance from Keaton while great in the first film was not really all that good at all in the second one and honestly felt like he did not care at all. The action and effects also do not hold up at all. That being said, compared to its two sequels, this was a masterpiece of all cinema.

Jithin K Mohan Watching Gotham in Tim Burton's gothic visualisations is a treat in itself and when Danny Elfman's music is there to complement it, it's fantastic. The film is often over the top and the meta humour added is right in place. Walken is a charismatic villain and Devito gives life to the creepy and funny(darkly) Penguin. Even being so over the top the film was able to convey so many emotions of the characters, how three of them are abnormal people trying to cope, through different eccentricities(running around in costumes). The romantic track of Batman and Catwoman was also perfectly in sync with all of this. Above all that Michelle Pfieffer is the best Catwoman ever.

oldchummer Kind of gets boring in the middle section of the movie. Really silly movie at times (even for a 90s comic book movie). Good stuff from Danny Elfman. Missed opportunity of a movie when compared to its predecessor. Feels more like Edward Scissorhands than an actual Batman story. Would've benefited more if it had only one villain. Should've saved Catwoman for a different movie.
