REVIEW
Burton's follow-up to 1989's box-office mega-hit is a more entertaining foray into the shadowy world of Gotham City and the Caped Crusader. As in the original film, Keaton's brooding and gloomy Batman/Bruce Wayne character takes a back seat to the story's vivacious villains -- here Pfeiffer as Catwoman and DeVito as The Penguin. Pfeiffer shines as the furtive feline anti-hero, lapping up her role like a warm bowl of milk; and DeVito ably fills the shoes of Burgess Meredith with his demented Dickensian take on the grotesquely deformed Penguin. The screenplay provides a far more interesting spin than the original through its parable of urban decay and political corruption.
