A surprisingly grim and complex film disguised as a sequel.

Rating: Null/10 (14 September 2004)

Director Tim Burton's sequel to his original blockbuster is a surprisingly grim and complex film that is somewhat more satisfying than the original film that came before. Michel Keaton dons the cape for the last time in this movie and proves why he's still considered to be the best actor to ever play to play the cape crusader with a performance that really captures what the character was all about. Danny Devito does well as the freakiest Penguin and the true coup of excellence in this film is Michelle Puffer, who gives a excellent performance as Catwoman Burton gives Gotham a more grim feeling of dread this time around and a more festive way of creating mayhem for his characters. This was sadly the last collaboration between Burton and Keaton on the Batman films and sadly for the fans, the last good Batman film to be made.
This film will hold up in the test of time.
