Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; English Subtitles; Amaray Case Gotham City is once again under siege, this time by the sinister Penguin. A malformed baby thrown into the sewers to drown, The Penguin survived and decided to exact revenge against the hated metropolis during its grand Christmas celebration. Batman must stop the madman and his band of furry, but deadly, little penguins. To complicate matters, the caped crusader also has to contend with a sexy new vigilante whose moral stance is slightly more ambiguous than his own -- the cruel and sexy Catwoman. 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. Theatrical release: June 19, 1992.
Both BATMAN films were based on the popular comic book characters created by Bob Kane for DC Comics, but also on the Batman Dark Knight graphic comic books created by Frank Miller.
Estimated budget: $70 million.
BATMAN RETURNS grossed more than $265 million worldwide.
Christopher Walken's character Max Shreck was named after the actor (Max Schreck, with an "sch") who played the vampire in NOSFERATU (1922).
Annette Bening was originally slated for the role of Catwoman. But, due to her pregnancy, she was replaced by Michelle Pfeiffer.
BATMAN'S Academy Award-winning production designer Anton Furst committed suicide before work began on the sequel. Bo Welch replaced him and based his designs on Furst's. Batman Returns Reviews: "...Sprightly....Burton creates a wicked world of misfits..."-- Janet Maslin, New York Times "...As Catwoman, terrific Michelle Pfeiffer goes from mousy secretary to liberated lionness. As flipper-fingered Penguin, Danny DeVito is an orchestra of evil intentions..."
-- Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today "...The runaway star here is Pfeiffer, whose performance is a sexy, comic triumph..."
-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "...[Burton's] dark, melancholy vision is undeniably something to see....[An] always visually inventive film..."
-- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times "...A most intriguing movie, great to look at, fun to talk about..."

Batman Returns Movie Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   Fun Romp
Ok, Burton has trouble with narrative, but Michelle Pfeiffer in tight fitting black latex makes you forget the film's flaws. Her portrayal of dual personalities Selena Kyle and Catwoman is flawless. Christopher Walken excels as evil entrepreneur Schreck, and Danny DeVito disappears into his role as the Penguin. A highly recommended popcorn movie.

 This is still my favorite Batman movie!!!
Batman begin's!Give me a break!I couldn't see anything in that movie. Plus the fighting scene's were short,and sucked.The villain was under developed,and it was all together boring.Now this movie has the undisputed best actor for batman Micheal Keaton,and the amazing Catwomen that's also undisputed.Atleast according to most of the other review's,and me.Plus Danny devito made a good penguin.I say they get Micheal keaton,and Michael pfifer back for one last hooraw.Now that would be a good ending to the series.Because without these movie's they end up doing ones like Multiplicity YUCK!!!

This review is for a different format. Best Batman Movie Ever!!!
I love this movie. I don't really like Batman Forever and i hated Batman & Robin. Batman Begins was good and i still have a lot of expectations for 2008's "The Dark Knight".
This probably the best Batman movie that will ever exist.

Taking place in UC 0083, this iteration of the GUNDAM series, a 13 part OAV, is one of the best; it retains the characteristics of its predecessors while giving the series a more modern look and a larger scope. Three years after the One Year War, peace is still the order of the day. However, the remnants of the Zeon forces are still bitter about their defeat and have hatched a plot to steal an advanced prototype Gundam, armed with nuclear weapons, that will be the main weapon in their new war against the Federation.

Batman Returns review
$7.89 
Tim Burton's BATMAN, inspired by Frank Miller's graphic novel THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, is a Gothic, Wagnerian treatment of the Batman mythos that explains the origins of Batman (Michael Keaton) and his nemesis, the maniacal Joker (a ripe Jack Nicholson).
Gotham City is a sunless, ominous haven for criminals, held in the corrupt grip of crime boss Carl Grissom (the ever-magnetic Jack Palance), and terrorized by a sadistic vandal and murderer known as The Joker. But it isn't long before a dark, mysterious caped crusader, who goes by the name of BATMAN, is on their trail and trying to thwart their evil doings. In this darkly entertaining retelling of the Marvel comic classic, ace photojournalist Vicki Vale (warmly and sympathetically played by Kim Basinger) is also on the trail--she wants to find out who Batman really is. Based on the popular comic book character created by Bob Kane for DC Comics; the story and tone have nothing in common with the popular TV series of the 1960s. Imaginative special effects and imposing, Gothic architectural sets dominate this visually graphic, stylish film. Keaton gives a brooding performance as the Caped Crusader and his interestingly understated alter-ego Bruce Wane. But is it Nicholson's Joker that steals the show, with his unnerving, brilliantly maniacal portrayal, especially in the context of his twisted relationship with Grissom's gal Alicia (a lanky, disquieting Jerry Hall).

A diner waitress, Slim (Jennifer Lopez), meets Mitch (Bill Campbell), a handsome rich man who defends her in the diner. They marry and have a child, but Slim's happiness is soon lost when she discovers that her husband has a mistress. When confronted, Mitch becomes abusive and proceeds to lay down controlling laws for Slim. As the abuse grows worse, Slim realizes that fleeing is her only path to freedom. Mitch's determination becomes evident as he tracks Slim down, terrorizes her, and uses the legal system to his advantage, scheduling a custody hearing. Realizing that flight and the law are not her strongest allies, Slim takes intensive combat classes, preparing to meet Mitch one last time, intending to kill him in apparent self defense.
ENOUGH wisely spins typical gender roles beyond the training of its protagonist. Slim is aided by a sensitive male admirer (Dan Futterman), who has stamina problems, and her daughter Grace (Tessa Allen), who has admirable basketball skills. When it comes time for the climactic last battle, ENOUGH doesn't get bogged down with politics, sexual or otherwise. Instead, it gleefully delivers an elaborate, bloody, final brawl.
