a5c7b9f00b In this, the second Batman movie, megalomaniac businessman Max Shreck sets a plot against Gotham City in motion. He is joined by Penguin, a deformed and rather deranged man abandoned at birth by respectable parents. Penguin, backed by hoodlums and real penguins, runs for mayor. The plot is further complicated by Selena, a wronged secretary who transforms into Catwoman, a villain with mixed motives.
Having defeated the Joker, Batman now faces the Penguin - a warped and deformed individual who is intent on being accepted into Gotham society. Crooked businessman Max Schreck is coerced into helping him become Mayor of Gotham and they both attempt to expose Batman in a different light. Earlier however, Selina Kyle, Max's secretary, is thrown from the top of a building and is transformed into Catwoman - a mysterious figure who has the same personality disorderBatman. Batman must attempt to clear his name, all the time deciding just what must be done with the Catwoman.
One of the most anticipated movies in my life, and by far the biggest disappointment. It is hard to believe that Tim Burton directed both this and the original Batman. I went to see it with my brother on something like the second day it was released. The theater was jam packed, and there was a lot of chatting. When the advertisement stopped, and the movie started many people cheered. When they showed Michael Keaton for the first time, many more people cheered, it was pretty nuts. The excitement from the audience very slowly died down and at the end of the movie no-one clapped, no-one cheered, we just all cleared the full theater, most of us with dull looks on our faces.<br/><br/>I think the worst part of the movie was the animal element. There were a bunch of bats, a bunch of cats, and a bunch of penguins. The character to take the animal mania the furthest was Catwoman. She licked herself clean, she purred, she crawled like a cat, and oh yeah, she had nine lives. Did we need any of this? Penguin in the comic books wasn't a penguin, he was a fat guy in a tuxedo. Catwoman wasn't a cat, and Batman wasn't a bat.<br/><br/>Why must all good comic book movies have sequels that are so silly? We need more people who understand the comic books, and less people who have no problem with making them look real stupid. I'm glad that Burton stopped making Batman movies, but I'm afraid his successor did the same thing with HIS second Batman movie..
Following the success of 1989's 'Batman', Tim Burton and Michael Keaton released a second movie in the franchise: Batman Returns. Gotham City retains the Gothic look of the first film, only this time the city is in the midst of an icy winter punctuated by the arrival of two new villains on the scene: Catwoman and the Penguin.<br/><br/>As a kid I loved this movie and the original Tim Burton 'Batman' movie, however after re-watching it over a decade later it doesn't quite hold upwellI wished it would have. Part of this reason is the fact that Batman seems almost external to this plot which revolves around Penguin (Danny DeVito), Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Gotham businessman Max Shreck (Christopher Walken). Batman (Michael Keaton) seems to only step in momentarily to throw a few punches before exiting back to Wayne Manor.<br/><br/>All four lead actors, especially Danny DeVito, deliver great performances in this movie, but it is a real shame that the scriptwriters chose to not continue the analysis into the Bruce Wayne/Batman psyche. Instead, we are left with a fairly routine 'bad guy trying to overthrow the city' story; the Penguin character was well developed, but the action scenes in the movie are nothing memorable. Another complaint is the lack of resolution that is given to the Penguin's attempts to turn Gotham city against Batman. Surely the mislead public would be angry at Batman for the crimes that they believe him to have committed, however the Bat-signal at the end of the film gives the impression that this is not the case.<br/><br/>On the positive side though, the movie has a great feel to it; from the visual appearance of the winter Gotham, through to Danny Elfman's musical score. You can't help but feel some of the special effects - computer and real-life - are a little outdated 13 years down the track though.<br/><br/>Overall, this childhood favourite of mine is worth a look and a film that I will revisit in the future, but upon reflection should have been better. I'm glad that the newly released 'Batman Begins' dives head first into the exploration of the Bruce Wayne/Batman characters that this film avoids.<br/><br/>2.5 stars / 5
I find it the most adventurous and imaginative American film I've seen this year - and also the weirdest.
In an attempt to become the mayor of Gotham City, the nefarious Penguin (<a href="/name/nm0000362/">Danny DeVito</a>), tossed by his parents into the sewers shortly after his birth, teams up with megalomaniac businessman Max Shreck (<a href="/name/nm0000686/">Christopher Walken</a>). He also works with the slinky, mysterious Catwoman (<a href="/name/nm0000201/">Michelle Pfeiffer</a>) to plot the downfall of Batman (<a href="/name/nm0000474/">Michael Keaton</a>) …until Catwoman spurns Penguin's romantic advances and sets out with her own agenda. The movie is based on characters created by American comic book artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger for DC Comics, first appearing in Detective Comics #27 in May of 1939. The screenplay was written by American screenwriters Sam Hamm and Daniel Waters. It is a sequel to the first movie in Warner Bros.' Batman film series, <a href="/title/tt0096895/">Batman (1989)</a> (1989) and is followed by <a href="/title/tt0112462/">Batman Forever (1995)</a> (1995), and <a href="/title/tt0118688/">Batman & Robin (1997)</a> (1997). The film series was rebooted in 2005 with <a href="/title/tt0372784/">Batman Begins (2005)</a>. Because in the comics, Batman started out solo and Robin is still young during this time. The character of Robin was included in early screenplays for the film, and actor <a href="/name/nm0005541/">Marlon Wayans</a> was cast in the role. Action figures of Wayans' Robin were even produced. However, rewrites to the script ultimately removed all mention of Robin, and the character was saved for the next film, <a href="/title/tt0112462/">Batman Forever (1995)</a>. Not until the very end of the film. Shreck sees Bruce Wayne onlya possible investor in his power plant, and Penguin doesn't interact much at all with Bruce, so neither of them connect him with Batman. Catwoman sees Bruce Waynea rich, eligible bachelor for whom she has romantic feelings. She doesn't learn that he is Batman until Schreck's party when Bruce says back to her word-for-word an exchange they had when in their guisesBatman and Catwoman: "Mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it. A kiss can be even deadlier if you mean it." Yes. Selina Kyle was workinga meek secretary for Max Shreck and living alone with only her cat for company. When she discovered Max's real plan for a power plant he was intending to build, he pushed her out of a window to keep her quiet. She survived the fall but her personality changed, becoming more aggressive and vindictive. She cut up a leather coat, fashioned for herself a cat costume, donned a bullwhip, and Catwoman was born. Yes. The movie opens with a scene showing how Esther Cobblepot (<a href="/name/nm0758405/">Diane Salinger</a>) gave birth to Oswald, who was born deformed with Penguin-like features. They keep him locked in a cage and after seeing him kill their cat, they decided to throw the infant Oswald into a river. Oswald then drifts down the river, into the sewer and is brought ashore and raised by penguins. Thirty-three years later, Oswald is showna deformed man with flippers for fingers and still living in the sewer with a flock of penguins under the Gotham Zoo's Arctic World. The character ofwas created specifically for this film, without having ever appeared in any prior Batman stories. His name is likely a reference to the German actor <a href="/name/nm0775180/">Max Schreck</a>, who played the vampire in the famous German re-inerpretation of Dracula, titled <a href="/title/tt0013442/">Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (1922)</a> (1922). On the DVD commentary, director Tim Burton reveals the character was originally going to be , played once again by <a href="/name/nm0001850/">Billy Dee Williams</a> from the first film. Williams signed up for the first with the intention that he would eventually play the character in future installments. The explosion at the end was meant to scar his face, transforming him intofor a third film. The movie was eventually reworked and Dent became Shreck. The character of Max Shreck was later planned to appear in <a href="/title/tt0103359/">Batman: The Animated Series (1992)</a>, but he was reworked into another original character, Roland Daggett, who later was the basis for the character John Daggett in <a href="/title/tt1345836/">The Dark Knight Rises (2012)</a>. Gotham City is a fictional U.S. port city located on the north-eastern Atlantic coast. It was originally a stand-in for New York City but has also resembled other crime-ridden, highly-populated urban centers suchChicago and Detroit. Some sources, including Mayfair Games' authorized (but now out-of-print) Atlas of the DC Universe, have placed Gotham City in the state of New Jersey. <a href="/name/nm0634240/">Christopher Nolan</a> (director of Batman Begins and its sequels, <a href="/title/tt0468569/">The Dark Knight (2008)</a> (2008) and <a href="/title/tt1345836/">The Dark Knight Rises (2012)</a> (2012)) locates Gotham City in the middle of the estuary of the Liberty River where it empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The river separates most of Gotham from the mainland. The River Merchant divides Uptown from Midtown, while Midtown is separated from Downtown by the Gotham River. The Narrows is a small island in the Gotham River. A creek divides the district of South Hinkley from the rest of Gotham City. Gotham International Airport is in Pettsburg, to the north of the Liberty River estuary. The current DC Universe version of Gotham City is separated from the mainland by the Gotham River, bridged by a series of bridges and tunnels. The east and south sides of Gotham face the Atlantic Ocean. The city is further divided by the Sprang River (named for Dick Sprang) on the northern end and the Finger River (for Bill Finger) to the south. Tiny Blackgate Isle to the south-east is home to Blackgate Maximum Security Penitentiary. (Blackgate is replaced by Stonegate Penitentiary in the animated series <a href="/title/tt0103359/">Batman</a> (1992-1995) and its spin-offs.) Yes. The reason however is not stated, but it is likely due to the fact that Max is an evil character/businessman in the movie and,such, having someone killed goes along with that. Fred disappearing would surely have helped Max financially by allowing him to gain complete control over their businesses. <a href="/name/nm0000318/">Tim Burton</a> reportedly doesn't like making sequels, so although Batman Returns is a sequel, he made it unlike a sequel with a new love interest for Bruce Wayne. However, Vicki is mentioned twice, and she hasn't died according to the film. When Selina asks Bruce whether he has a girlfriend, Bruce tells her that he did but that it just didn't work for Vicki and himself. Later in the movie, Bruce mentions to Alfred (<a href="/name/nm0001284/">Michael Gough</a>) how Vicki once found her way into the Batcave. They were real penguins, on loan from a bird sanctuary in England. Some of the larger penguins were actually people in suits. Batman follows Penguin into his sewer lair under Arctic World where Catwoman has Shreck cornered. He stops her from killing Shreck and suggests that they take him to the police, after which they can go home together. Even though Shreck is watching, Batman pulls off his mask, revealing his identityBruce Wayne. Catwoman almost agrees but suddenly refuses on grounds that she couldn't live with herself. She pulls off her mask, too, revealing to Shreck her identitySelina Kyle. Shreck immediately fires her, shoots Bruce, and turns the gun on Selina. She challenges him, saying, "You killed me, the Penguin killed me, and Batman killed me. That's three lives. You got enough (bullets) in there to finish me off?" Shreck fires and keeps firing four times until he is out of bullets, but Selina keeps advancing. Figuring she still has two lives left, she uses one of them to electrocute him with power cables and a taser, causing the lair to burst with explosions. She then disappears. Penguin suddenly rises out of the toxic water, bleeding from his mouth. He complains that the heat is getting to him and that he needs a drink of ice water but collapses and dies, his penguins sliding him into his watery grave. Later,Bruce and Alfred are driving down the street, Bruce notices what looks like Catwoman's shadow against a wall. He jumps out of the car but she is nowhere to be seen. In the final scene, the bat signal emblazons the night sky, and Catwoman's head looks up at it, suggesting that she still has one life left. In the special features section of various DVD releases, it is mentioned that the final shot showing that Catwoman had survived was added at the last minute at the studio's insistence. The film was originally to have ended more ambiguously. Following Batman Returns, there were plans to have Catwoman subsequently featured in a film of her own, but the project was stuck in "development hell" for a whole decade. By the time a Catwoman film was finally made in 2004, all of the originally-slated participants had dropped out or been let go, and the character was no longer even Selina Kyle or related to the Batman universe. The most likely in-universe answer is that not seeing Catwoman in any of the Batman sequels could simply mean that Selina Kyle has given up her life of crime or simply moved away from Gotham City. However, there were ideas for Michelle Pfeiffer to returnCatwoman in Batman Forever. To put it simply, the UK DVD versions of this movie are all cut. First of all, there's the old 15-rated DVD that is missing two scenes: the nunchaku-swinging clown, and the infamous aerosol/microwave scene. A couple of years later a Special Edition was released with a 12 rating. The nunchaku scene has been reinserted but the microwave scene is still missing. The Blu-ray version, rated 15 in the UK, has both the above mentioned scenes restored. Beyond cats traditionally having been regardedhaving nine lives, various solutions have been suggested, most commonly that she had incorporated body armour into her costume meaning that the bullets would have still hurt (hence her reaction) but not penetrated her body. It could be that none of her vital organs (especially the heart or central nervous system) were struck and yet she also didn't experience significant blood loss, but a lack of bleeding without the protection of armour would suggest accelerated clotting or otherwise something supernatural like her being a revenant. The Halle Berry Catwoman film postulated that the role of Catwoman was actually an inherited title that was supernaturally passed down to a series of women throughout the ages. This means that either she was imbued with special powers which allowed her to survive or that the Catwoman we see at the end is not the same one we have been following throughout the film but the new bearer of the role.
