I really do enjoy watching this film, but it's only for people that love extremely dark flicks. It's about the hideous Penguin (Devito) that gets together with well respected monster Max Shreck (Walken) and runs for mayor. People soon realize that he is a horribly evil monster. We also have Selina Kyle (Pfieffer) that is just a timid assistant to Max Shreck until she snoops around too much and Shreck shoves her out a window for dead, but instead she becomes skitophrenic and becomes Catwoman. Batman fights both of these people and also falls in love with Selina Kyle, not knowing shes Catwoman. I loved the films wonderful sets and dark tone, but it's not for everyone. Another positive in this film is the wonderful score that is much improved on from the last Batman film (by Danny Elfman). I enjoyed this film, but it may be a tad depressing in the long run.
My rating: B. 120 mins. PG-13 for extremely dark violent content and some sexual content
