Michael Keaton is welcomed back sporting the cape and cowl, while he is joined by a host of other creepy characters. Danny Devito is both repulsive and oddly tragic as The Penguin, Michelle Pfeiffer is seductively hilarious as Catwoman and Christopher Walken is a delight as the shrewd cold-hearted businessman Max Schreck.
The satirical Returns comes off as more of a Tim Burton film this time around, with it's disjointed storytelling, Metropolis like sets swept over with a Christmas snow and wonderfully ludicrous humor.
It's my favorite of the live-action Bats flicks, because it never tries to replicate reality. This is pure dark fantasy and exactly what I want in a superhero film.
