In this first sequel to 1989's Batman, the Caped Crusader (played by Michael Keaton) is up against the Penguin (played by Danny DeVito), the hideously deformed scion of a wealthy Gotham City family. The Penguin plots with evil businessman Max Schreck (played by Christopher Walken) to become mayor and the turn Gotham into a cathedral of crime. Upon overhearing these plans, Schreck's mousy secretary Selena Kyle (played by Michelle Pfeiffer) is tossed from a high-rise window by her boss. Rescued by a covey of kittens, Selena transforms in the leather-clad Catwoman. In this guise, she teams with the Penguin and Schreck to divvy up their ill-gotten gains and help discredit Batman.
This film is pretty much what you want to see out of a Batman film. Its dark, gritty,its beautifully paced you have two iconic villains, and you also have a great cast. Danny DeVito and Michelle Pfeiffer fit into their roles as the Penguin and Catwoman/Selena Kyle perfectly. Overall I give the film a 9 out of 10.
