Batman Returns fails to follow through on the success of the first film, and instead veers in a new direction. When wealthy industrialist Max Shreck teams up with the Penguin, the leader of a criminal gang, to seize control of Gotham City, Batman seeks to expose them, but things soon get complicated went a mysterious new player named Catwoman enters the game. This sequel is far darker, more expressionist, and full of sexual innuendoes. But bottom-line, the Penguin and Catwoman don’t bring the same charisma that Nicholson’s Joker brought to the first film. Batman Returns has its own unique appeal, but pales in comparison to the original.
