Arguably, the most Tim Burton-y of Burton’s films, the only fingerprints on this sequel seem to be the director’s.
Danny DeVito (as the Penguin) and fellow villain Christopher Walken do their usual vaudeville, but this sequel digs much deeper than the original, exploring the psychosexual needs that drive a man to dress up in a skin-tight Batsuit. Even so, Keaton and Michelle Pfeiffer (as Catwoman) are most effective when out of costume and still recognizing each other as damaged, kinky kindred spirits.
