An strong sequel that is weirder and better than the original.

Rating: 8/10 (13 July 2007)

After years, Batman (Michael Keaton) has defeated the joker. Batman has to face three different villains. The Penguin (Danny DeVito) is a warped and deformed madman, who tries to rule the city. The Seductively sensational Catwoman (Michelle Pheiffer), who has the same personality disorder as Batman. The corrupted Businessman (Oscar-Winner:Christopher Walken), who helps The Penguin raise Power in Gotham City.
Directed by Tim Burton (Beetlejuice, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Sleepy Hallow) made an clever sequel with plenty of black comedy and visual style. This is a much more fascinating film than Burton's original Batman. This has an great moody score by Danny Elfman (The Frighteners, Nightbreed, The Nightmare Before Christmas). Although this was not as successful as the original Batman at the box office. It seems that Warner Bros executives didn't want Burton to directed the third Batman film.
The two disc set has plenty of good features. DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and an strong DTS 5.1 Surround Sound (Also in Dolby Digital 5.1). Disc one has an interesting running commentary track by the filmmaker. Disc two has an documentary, plenty of featurettes, music video and the original theatrical trailer. Still, this was one of the highest grossing films of 1992. Watch for Paul Reubens in a bit part, who's almost unrecognizable in the opening sequences. Screenplay by Daniel Waters (The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, Demolition Man, Heathers). From a Story by Waters and Sam Hamm (Monkeybone, Never Cry Wolf). (****/*****).
