Darker than the first. A few minor problems

Rating: Null/10 (6 April 2002)

Acting is solid like with the first movie. However, there are a few problems with what goes on. Catwoman isn't a full villain, since she despises Shreck and eventually Oswald. Penguin needs too much direction from Shreck. Another problem is that there's so little focus on Bruce Wayne, and you can't have Batman without him. Alfred's role is much smaller as well. Gotham citizens are shown to be too stupid (like in the first where they're all just standing around being gassed). No way anyone would lay down a vote for a thing as hideous as Penguin. Doesn't come close to the first overall, but still good on its own.
