patrick p My son and I loved it !!! I saw it when it first came out in 1992, and didnt realize how well done it truly is until I grew older. Its visually amazing, and also has a great story, music, and just an all around great movie. Go and see it !! :) Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/18/22 Full Review Oscar O In three years the writing and acting went downhill from the first movie to the second movie everybody just wants to hump cat woman and the global warming agenda has started to be forced down our throats!!! It’s a shame. This movie is not appropriate for younger children and this movie is not as good as the first one by a huge margin.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/18/22 Full Review Toby D *Batman Returns* (1992) is Tim Burton unleashed, a gloriously unhinged, gothic fever dream that dives deeper into the director’s psyche than its 1989 predecessor. With a blank check, Burton crafts a film dripping with melancholy, horror, and his signature style—100% Burtonesque, where every frame feels like a twisted cousin to *The Nightmare Before Christmas* or *Sleepy Hollow*. Gotham’s dark, rain-soaked streets and grotesque imagery create an atmosphere so immersive it crawls under your skin, setting a precedent for darker comic-book films like *The Crow*. Danny DeVito’s Penguin is a grotesque, tragic masterpiece, blending Burton’s macabre flair with the character’s comic roots, delivering the most unhinged and gothic villain in the franchise. Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman is electrifying, her sexy, psychotic edge pushing the character into deliciously uncharted territory. Christopher Walken, playing a gloriously Walken-esque Max Shreck, adds a layer of eccentric menace, stealing scenes with his sheer presence. Together, they form a rogues’ gallery that’s as psychologically warped as the film itself. While some deemed it too dark for kids, *Batman Returns* revels in its sadistic, operatic chaos, making it a bold, polarizing sequel that’s arguably Burton’s purest vision. It’s less a superhero flick and more a gothic horror show, with Bruce Wayne’s brooding Batman anchoring the madness. For fans of Burton’s unfiltered genius, it’s a dark, sadistic delight that remains a high-water mark in comic-book cinema. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review M B Very interesting darker sequel, more depth than the original film and Michelle Pfieffer should have won an oscar for it! Maybe they went a bit over the top with the Penguin, Danny Devito was brilliant but his character was a bit too nasty. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Jamie W In a world where MCU and DCU films are over rated and more often that carbon copies spilling out from the Superhero genre engine, Batman Returns deserves far more acclaim, not only for its story, score, cast and characters but for creating a truly captivating ambient unique world that takes you to the very comic book pages of Batman. This film would in fact be my favourite Tim Burton verse movie for that very reason. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/01/25 Full Review Read all reviews
