"Good Sequel That's As Dark As The First!"

Rating: 7/10 (12 May 2012)

Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Michelle Pfeiffer and Christopher Walken star in Tim Burton's 1992 action sequel. This begins in Gotham City, with a wealthy couple, The Copplepots dumping their deformed penguin-like infant, Oswald into a sewer. Years later, the man who has been hiding beneath Gotham, The Penguin (DeVito) kidnaps a shady politician, Max Schreck (Walken) who is running for Mayor and blackmails him. Pfeiffer (Scarface) plays Schreck's secretary, Selina Kyle who gets pushed out a window by Schreck for snooping around his office and becomes vengeful, Catwoman. She also gets involved with billionaire, Bruce Wayne (Keaton) whom she learns is Batman. Soon, Batman faces The Penguin who is determined to reclaim his birthright while trying to overrun Gotham and Catwoman who wants revenge on Schreck. Burton's "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" stars, Paul Reubens & Diane Salinger briefly play Oswald's parents. This is a good sequel that's as dark as the first, Keaton, DeVito and Pfeiffer are great, Danny Elfman's score is excellent and Walken is a good bad guy as usual. I recommend this.
