batman return it be my opinion that the first batman of the batman series be only half the movie that batman return be . in the first batman by tim burton we have only batman and the joker both play wonderfully by michael keaton and jack nicholson . in batman return we have what i feel be the most perfectly cast batman movie ( yes even well then dark knight ) . keaton return a batman and be perfect in the role never go to far over top with the character of batman and which be perfect in this film when it come to the two villain that he up against . first you have danny devito who be delightfully insane a the penguin . then you have michelle pfeiffer a cat woman and who i dare to say be one of the most interesting and complex villain in the batman movie . i feel this way about pfeiffer because of the way she become the cat woman she start off a the rather pathetic mousy selena kyle and then truly dive into the dark side of her mind and what you get be a brilliant performance of a woman who go from try to be a hero to a villain and then i suppose back to a hero in the end . also in this amazing cast you have the evil businessman max schreck play by the amazing and legendary christopher walken . while in a supporting role there something about this role that i love and maybe it the look of schreck in the film that make his performance all the good then it already be . story wise i have to say that batman return have so much more go on this time around as oppose to the first batman . part of the reason i love this story so much be the fact that burton dare to go in a much more darker and twisted direction a oppose to nicholson over the top antic . you have the story on the penguin and how he try to deceive the people of gotham into make him the new hero and mayor of the city . then you have cat woman and her struggle to decide just who she really be and what she should do with her new persona . when it come to batman i feel that in this one he more the ring leader that hold the two story together but of course kick as at the same time . cinematography be the film be dark and atmospheric just like the story that take place within it . gotham city never look as good a it do on blu ray and hd so if you have the chance to see it this way then by all mean do because it truly add to the overall experience of batman return . so all in i truly feel that of all the batman movie batman return believe it or not top the dark knight for me because while i enjoy that movie for heath ledger amaze performance a the joker i felt that the movie be lack something . batman return lack nothing and so if you want to see an amazing film with what i feel be a perfect cast then this be the batman to light the bat signal for .
