Review of Batman Returns (1992) by David R — 04 May 2015
This sequel is noticeably better than the first. It's bigger, bolder, and the pacing is much faster. Danny DeVito nails it as The Penguin. He's perverted, disgusting, and looks grotesque. In fact, he looks just as scary as Jack Nicholson's Joker did in the previous film.
Batman Returns also retained the sense of humor from the first. Penguin has his own set of awesome punchlines. "Welcome to the Oswald Cobblepot school of driving. Gentlemen, start your screaming.
" A second villain made things interesting; Catwoman, played by Michelle Pfeiffer in a solid and seductive performance. The love dynamic between her and Bruce Wayne brought out an interesting side to him.
I liked this one a lot more than the original.
