The dark fantasy Batman

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2015)

The sequel to "Batman" (1989) is just as dark and gritty and has a greater premise: once again Batman (Michael Keaton) is called for to defend Gotham, but this time: His main enemy, Penguin (Danny DeVito) is not simply a homicidal maniac, but also character who apparently desires to be accepted into society, while secretly leading a group of outcast villains, the Red Triangle Circus,and with a plan for revenge on the city in mind; Into play then comes a very special woman with whom he will fall in love with as well as try to stop, Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer), and a corrupt and powerful and ruthless businessman, Max Shreck (Christopher Walken), who is tied to both other villains.
Returning from the first movie aside from Keaton are Michael Gough as Alfred Pennyworth and Pat Hingle as Commissioner Gordon.
The characters all have a Burton-like twist to them and are still not very far away from other versions, looking closely.
The main four actors (Keaton, DeVito, Pffeifer and Walken)'performances lead up to a great climax and the characters' destinies will have the film end on a bittersweet note for our hero.
All this with a dark Christmas atmosphere, fantasy visuals and familiar soundtrack, and a cold beauty queen in Cristi Conaway's Ice Princess, too.
Mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it. But a kiss can be even deadlier, if you mean it.
