Review of Batman Returns (1992) by Kyle20Ellis — 14 Apr 2020
Although it puts a little too much focus on the villains, Batman Returns is a satisfying sequel to Tim Burton's Batman. Michael Keaton gives another fantastic performance as the iconic hero, while Danny Devito makes for a worthy central villain.
Michelle Pfeiffer and Christopher Walken also do some impressive work as Catwoman and Max Shreck. The makeup and costume design was great. As I mentioned, the film's main flaw was how it focused too much on the villains, and not quite enough on the title character.
Nevertheless, Tim Burton successfully captures the atmosphere of Batman, and Michael Keaton fits the role perfectly. Overall, Batman Returns isn't perfect, but it's a well-directed and atmospheric film with great performances that should satisfy fans of Batman.
