Movie: "Batman Returns" (1992)



Wow. Seen [from what I consider to be] the first two Batman movies now. I must say, the sequel holds the same quality as the first one. Still Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne, with his alter ego, the flying bat. This time, we will get acquaintance with The Penguin, played by Danny De Vito. It's a dull story about a deformed baby, whose parents chose to leave him in the city canal to die. However, he doesn't die, little Cobblepot stays down the city sewer during his whole childhood, getting raised by the penguins living down under. So, around thirty years later, he's back for revenge. Also, in this picture the mysterious Catwoman will enter the picture.



Of course, from the beginning she's nothing more but a scatterbrained secretary assistant. However. The movie is really beautiful. The same dystopian picture painted by Tim Burton as you saw in the first movie. It's brilliant. Now, I see over at IMDb that this is the last Batman flick that Burton directed. From here on, the story takes a shift. No more Michael Keaton. In the next movie we will have Val Kilmer as Batman/Bruce, and in the forth film he will be played by E.R star George Clooney. I have to say I laughted when I read it. Damn it, how come I don't remember. I've seen all these movies - like ten years ago. Strange indeed. However. I can guarantee the masterpiece status of the first two movies. Well see what I have to say about the others.
