Favorite Quotes: “Well, that was very brief. Just like all the men in my life.” “I was their number one son, and they treated me like number two.” “Honey, I’m home. Oh, I forgot. I’m not married.” “You gotta admit I played this stinkin’ city like a harp from hell.” “You poor guys. Always confusing your pistols with your privates.”
Summary (from IMDB): …megalomaniac businessman Max Shreck sets a plot against Gotham City in motion. He is joined by Penguin, a deformed and rather deranged man abandoned at birth by respectable parents. Penguin, backed by hoodlums and real penguins, runs for mayor. The plot is further complicated by Selena, a wronged secretary who transforms into Catwoman, a villain with mixed motives.
The Bad Stuff:
-This one isn’t as good as the first movie. It is still good, but it is missing something that the first one had. I am not sure what it is, though.
-I am not a huge fan of the whole “Let’s put Batman up against 2 bad guys” thing. Catwoman could have a whole movie to herself, at least one that doesn’t suck. (Catwoman)
The Good Stuff:
-Danny DeVito makes a great Penguin.
-Michael Keaton is awesome, again.
-Again, the directing, acting, production design, and music really work together to make this a great movie.
-Michelle Pfeiffer is unbelievably hot.
While not being as good as the first, it holds its own in the series. Definately worth the watch.
