Very dark and sometimes very silly and inaccurate.

Rating: 5/10 (2 August 2005)

Batman is back to save the city for a second time. And this time he has two main villains and a circus gang to fight against. As if this is not enough, Max Schrek is badder than Penguin and Catwoman together. This film is very dark, but also pretty camp. People complain about Batman Forever for being campy. OK, they may be right. But look closer at the Penguin and the circus gang, and you will understand what I mean. Some of the characters in the gang even have similar Jim Carrey - expressions. And Penguin drop of one bad joke after another. Catwoman howewer is very dangerous, but not just for Batman. And about Batman in this film: he kills !! Batman has sworn to NEVER take a life. In this film he kills of two members of the circus gang, with purpose. This is odd, because in the first film he does not kill of people.He tries to save Jacks Napier when he is about to fall in the acid ! And they made Penguin a monster. From what I recall, Penguin from the 60's TV - series and Batman TAS was more of a gentleman. And they have to kill him of in the end. So frankly, this film leave me a little disappointed.
