2099 Reviews: Batman Returns (1992)
Batman Returns is a 1992 sequel to Batman and, at least in my opinion, the best film in the series.
- Great acting, especially from Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Michael Gough.
- It introduces the famous deformed Penguin design.
- It captures the dark and mysterious tone of the earliest Batman comics, and its predecessor, 100%.
- Does a beautiful job capturing the complex romance between Batman and Catwoman.
- Full of iconic scenes.

Personal Fan Theories
- Batman Forever and Batman & Robin takes place before Batman and Batman Returns. After Batman & Robin, Batman becomes worn out, gets thinner, and darkier. Commissioner Gordon took down the Bat-Signal but later set it up again after Batman's defeat of the Joker. Robin and Batgirl eventually left Bruce and Gotham.
- The Harvey Dent in Batman and the Two-Face in Batman Forever are two separate people. The first Dent retired some point before 1995, with his son, Harvey Dent Jr., taking his place as District Attorney and later becoming Two-Face.
