Batman Returns. 1992.
Darker and more violent than the first movie, the sense of Gothic pathos reaches a new high. Michael Keaton returns as Bruce Wayne, he displayed the right balance of weirdo loner and cool crime fighter. Michelle Pfieffer is amazing as Sekina Kyle/Catwoman. DeVito is so convincing as the Penguin that his scenes become a little disturbing to watch. Christopher Walken, who is brilliant as the business tycoon Max Shreck who can manipulate those around him.
Tim Burton re-joins Keaton with Michael Gough as the loyal family butler and never steals the limelight even though the two bounce off each other with quick remarks that can cause a snigger or two especially with food and Bruce asking for antiseptic ointment then asking if he is in pain just after pulling out one of Catwoman's claws from his side. The make-up for Penguin is how you would expect from Burton, hideous and scary with dark piercing eyes, it does go well with the Gothic style scenery of Gotham City.
