Batman Returns (1992)
After the success of their first film Burton and Keaton return for a second Batman film, this time supported by Danny DeVito, Michelle Pfeiffer and Christopher Walken. Batman faces off against the Penguin, Catwoman and a wealthy industrialist.
Despite being darker and more adult than the first Burton film a lot of the same comments can be levelled at this sequel. Once again we have to wonder if this is really a Batman film or a film about villains that Batman is a side character in, even allowing for the darker tone the film does not still really have a huge amount of depth and again the production values are clearly the main draw here. What I did like about this film were the references to the previous one and that they did not just chuck out the Vicki Vale character to never be heard from again like a Bond girl.
4/5 another solid Burton effort.
