Batman Returns (1992)

Rating: 5/10 (23 September 2006)

Tim Burton's 'Batman Returns' (1992) caused much controversy from parents over its dark tone. Can one stay that Burton went a little over-broad in trying to create a darker version of Batman. Yes.
The film is about Batman (Michael Keaton) must battle the Penguin (Danny DeVito), Catwoman (Michelle Phieffer), and businessman Max Shreck (Christopher Walken).
I don't understand it. How can Tim Burton make two Batman movies that destroy Bob Kane's vision, yet fans love them, while the hate Shumachur's vision, which was true to Kane's (Not counting B&R, of course).
Now when one first sees the film, they'll think it story with a nice social commentary on the world we love. This commentary is quite nice, like how people like Penguin, who just want respect and love, are treated like freaks, while people like Max Shreck, who are heartless and cold individuals, are respected by everyone.
But by the end of the day, Superhero films are meant to entertain, with nice action sequences, along with nice human subplots. Batman Returns fails miserably at doing that simply task.
