Rated PG-13 for language/violence
Starring: Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken
Directed by Tim Burton
The Story:
Batman is back, and this time he is trying to stop The Penguin (DeVito) who is blackmailing Max (Walken) to worm his way into society and making the Penguin mayor! Max's secretary, Selina Kyle (Pfeiffer) discovers some documents and is thrown to her apparent death. Ah, but she survives and becomes... Catwoman!
Speaking of Batman films I never bothered with, this was another one.
But now I've watched it, and it was again... meh.
At least they realized that Batman should be the star of his own movies at this point, but the introduction of Catwoman is what this movie will be remembered for.
Which is a shame. This franchise should have made a mega-star out of Keaton, but he was always overshadowed by his co-stars.
First Nicholson, and now the introduction of Catwoman.
Seemingly, one villain was no longer enough for the bat-films, and everyone thought that more villains equaled a better movie.
Wrong.
It really spelled the doom for this franchise.
At least Burton had some ability to reign in the crazy with the extra cast.
With his departure, the franchise was about to change...
Forever!
(Cue ominous foreshadowing music!)
Final Grade: C
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: No thanks, I'm good.
