Even with flaws, the film overcomes its previous film in all respects and no doubt marked a whole generation

Rating: 7/10 (8 August 2015)

After a successful first foray into the Dark Knight film, comes three years after the continuation of the story to the big screen especially for first have cost $ 35 million and yielded over $ 400 million at the box office for the coffers of Warner Brothers. And who again assumes the command of this second adventure superhero of Gotham City is Tim Burton, the director of the eccentricities and visual appeal enviable.
Many of the previous errors were avoided, but it is clear that others insist permeate this sequence. Now, after running the first Baman, Tim Burton continued to create its bizarre characters and extravagant and began a partnership with his usual collaborator Johnny Depp in the mega-acclaimed hit Edward Scissorhands 1990 - and now enjoying more success returned to continue the saga of Batman, taking advantage of the fact that much more freedom than before, as he also assumed the position of producer of this continuation. Burton called Daniel Waters to write based on the first script by Sam Hamm, the same as the first movie. For this task, two super villains of Batman were scaled to give work to the hero, that even with the best performance of Michael Keaton in the previous, is overcome by the new double evil of Gotham.
Many fans wanted to Catwoman as the main villain of the film, but Burton dismissed this possibility, since the comic makes it clear that the two are not always enemies, and eventually teaming up. This duality of Catwoman is featured in the film. While Selina Kyle and Bruce Wayne is interested in each other, Catwoman and Batman have disagreements and try to eliminate each other.
Pfeiffer causes absurdly dressed in leather clothing fair and those lips and eyes green giants, and is unrivaled as the character he was born to her becoming eternal symbol of sensuality in cinema with his mask and whip, and eclipsing all others in the cast of the film. The emotional instability of Selina Kyle is one of the high points of interpretation Michele Pffeifer that according to Burton, is an impressive professional. The chemistry between the character and Batman is a pleasant surprise - just observe the sequences filmed in the ballroom costumes and Wayne Manor.
As well as with his Joker Nicholson in 1989, which was dances and some baseless narrative that served only to exaggerate the madness of the character - Burton and DeVito also deal with a deformed child like an animal that eats cats in a "cage" and that is the height of the construction Penguin as a character who apparently is a compulsive sexual way to stay looking young and beautiful girls with their constant panting breaths as if during a sexual act. Penguin is also clearly fall into the naive promises Shreck and never seems threatening, which is a problem because it is the principal enemy of Batman and justifies the presence of Catwoman on the scene .
With the caveats in the construction of the characters in the view of Burton described above, other points are even more improved than the previous film. The Gotham City a wonderful art direction signed by Bo Welch and photography of Stefan Czapsky presents a noir atmosphere and decadent, showing a city intimidating and that keeps the smoke in the streets and now the Christmas atmosphere and snow makes everything even more tense , which leaves its mark and is the main element to differentiate photography from the first film.
The fight scenes are better worked. The armor distinctly lighter and offering greater freedom of movement and choreography provides best fights better developed and realistic. The Batmobile was also used in the movie Batman with some changes, having the ability to stretch and shrink the body turning into a missile.
The script manages to overcome the former bringing a slightly higher complexity. Again we see the similarities with Batman's enemies, since all choke and feelings, to go through some trauma, bring out another side of the personality that is averse to social rules that stifle.
Unlike the first which is also bleak, this second film Burton sparked more protests by fans and critics. Much of what had been seen before, again appears more prominently as the Gothic settings, the psychological motivation of the characters, their crises and disturbances and the attention given to the antagonists, as we see Batman again be supporting in their own history. As with the Joker Jack Nicholson, now both the Penguin as Catwoman get the spotlight.
Excessive gloomy weather has been criticized by many parents consider the film too dark and violent for children, who made up a significant portion of the public in theaters. Warner Bros., even with the good reception of the last movie, then decided to rethink the franchise's hero, paying attention mainly on criticism of the somber mood built by Burton, even though this is the ideal climate for the character, which is the world in which it is inserted.
Danny Elfman once again back on the soundtrack and only confirms their work, further reinforcing the theme song and inserting new elements to a strong track that leaves the film again in an atmosphere of high tension, recording the theme song from Batman Burton on everyone's mind. Elfman and Burton is definitely a successful partnership where one complements the other, as well as John Williams and Steven Spielberg.
The film, even with flaws, manages to overcome his previous film in all respects and no doubt marked a whole generation. Has a better script, a good climax and remarkable characters. No doubt it was worth it and this is consolidated as one of the best versions of Batman in movies, not to mention the latest masterpieces Nolan fleeing any adjustment already made previously been revolutionizing and reinventing the character uniquely and original, going back to their origins.
