Michael Keaton returns as Batmas, and this time has a different nemesis, Penguin (Danny DeVito, but also has a second nemesis/ally Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer.). But the evil behind everything is the money man, Max Shreck (Christopher Walken.) In a way Shreck creates Catwoman as he kills her, throws her out of a building, but she keeps coming back. She puts off her meek secretary person and becomes the Catwoman. Michael Gough plays the butler, Alfred. Penguin is mad at the world, and has been living in the sewers since his parents threw him there when he was a baby. His hands were deformed. He finally decides to come out of the sewer, and with some manipulation is on the verge of becoming mayor. After he controlled Batman's Batmobile, and tried to frame him for murder and being a general bad guy, Batman turns the switch as he recorded the Penguin and plays back his audio when he is making a speech seeking the mayorship. Penguin had said some mean things to Batman about the citizens of Gotham. Penguin had planned to have his penguins blow up Gotham, but again Batman hijacks his frequency of control and congrols them himself. The come down on the Penguin's lair and destroy it.
The relationship between Batman and Catwoman is interesting, as it is a love hate relationship. As people they like eachothr, but as Batman and Catwoman they always fight. They are allies towards the end, after she had allied with Penguin, but found him too ruthless.
Movie is directed by Tim Burton. It is a fun ride, with interesting backgrounds for Catwoman and Penguin. Batman stops Penguin and Catwoman gets her revenge on Shreck, and he doesn't have nine lives.
