Batman Returns is about Batman's latest villain, the Penguin, that is determined to be accepted by society. Max Schreck, a businessman, is persuaded into helping Penguin become Mayor of Gotham, they both end up attempting to expose Batman as an evil person towards Gotham. However, Max's secretary, Selina Kyle, is transformed into Catwoman after she is thrown from a building. After Batman's name becomes tarnished he must attempt to repair the damages caused by Penguin. And we can't forget about Catwoman, not even if we tried, what should Batman do with her...
This was not my favorite Batman film, but this film portrayed the internal struggles that one may face with the acceptance of a society that does not understand something other than what is considered normal. It is a decently quick paced film that does not lose your attention often.
Tim Burton did a great job directing the actors. Michael Keaton did a good job as Batman. He was very believable with the fighting sequences. Danny DeVito was probably the perfect cast for the role of the Penguin, as well as Michelle Pfeiffer for Catwoman. I loved Michelle's take on Catwoman, she was down right dirty and won't take any hassle from any man.
The cinematography was also done well, Stefan Czapsky was a great choice as Director of Photography. There were however a couple scenes that seemed they used a steady cam for but was a little wobbley. I'm not sure why but seemed odd to me.
Of course who can forget the Bat Mobile
We didn't see to much of it but it is always a cool sight!
I give Batman Returns an 9 out of 10
Definitely should be watched in a BMW...
a Batman Marathon Weekend!
