Review of Batman Returns (1992) by Crunchzilla — 10 May 2022
"Batman Returns" is the best Tim Burton take on the character and the most like a Tim Burton film. His first "Batman" had great moments (and Jack Nicholson) but also many compromises -- no doubt forced by studio directives.
Michelle Pfeiffer was a fantastic Catwoman, and Danny DeVito was a hilarious and disturbing Penguin. I realize that various characters differ at times from the comic, but so do the stories in DC Comics, depending on who was writing and drawing the pages.
This film stands on its own and is one of the very best Batman films -- right up there "The Batman" and "The Dark Knight.
