A forgotten son of Gotham rises after 33 years away in the sewers: "Hideous Penguin Man"/Unknown/Oswald Coalport/Penguin [Danny DeVito:] an unfortunate soul that his parents; Tucker and Esther Coalport [Paul Reubens and Diane Salinger:] that discarded him and sent him down the sewers and can be roughly located underneath at the old abandoned Gotham City Zoo, but Penguin didn't come back alone as he has control over The Red Triangle Gang, which they assist him in making Oswald Coalport/Penguin a hero on his triumphant return to the surface. Whilst on his wave of goodwill Oswald Coalport/Penguin he meets a really is sinister individual by the name of Max Shreck [Christopher Walken:] he is a criminal business owner of Shreck's department stores and also a public figure these days, the has done a lot for Gotham City, but is now trying to get this new power plant up and running, with Oswald Coalport/Penguin he sees his opportunity to put someone in the Mayor's office that can push through these plans, as the last person that found out his plans ended up being pushed out of the window and killed. But don't worry she comes back to life with 9 lives; Selina Kyle/Catwoman [Michelle Pfeiffer:] a quiet and stumbling new secretary/assistant to Max that is excellent at her job, but sadly she doesn't get respected by anyone that is until she finds her paws/claws. But as always we still have the oversea all of Gotham City; Bruce Wayne/Master Bruce/Batman [Michael Keaton:] by day he is a very wealthy businessman with his family company Wayne Enterprises Inc./ WayneCorp/Wayne Industries [but for a receive any backlash I just put every name here, just to keep everybody happy.] But by night he is Batman; he protects the innocent and brings the criminals to justice alongside his loyal and trusted butler Alfred Pennyworth [Michael Gough:] he is still there every day for Master Bruce/Batman.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 126 minutes film is like its predecessor which is absolutely no surprise simply because we have Tim Burton returning as the director again [including Sam Hamm Story, which Daniel Waters Story/Screenplay; the atmosphere and imaginative and highly creative dark tone of the sequel with the all-round presentation and wardrobe and so on and so forth, it is fluently smooth and easy just to go from Batman 1989 Link to this one in 1992.

Tim Burton has made a career out of weird and wonderful dark tones projects, so he is kept with as I have already referenced what clearly works for his version of Bruce Wayne/Batman, but has also brought into this sequel is sequence of events before the opening credits; the back story of Oswald Coalport/Penguin and his parents. All of the characters/performers I have mentioned in the opening section of this content has an integral parts to play in this sequel.

Character developments/performances; as straight off the bat they went with the idea of this trio of victims to begin with leading this sequel of Oswald Coalport/Penguin, Selina Kyle/Catwoman and obviously Bruce Wayne/Batman [I know this was established in the previous film,] but it is a unique perspective to go from/start with as in one way or another they are all damaged, as it brings up the question if their life roads were different they wouldn't possibly [ this is speculation] turned out the way they did and behind this trio on one hand we have highly respected and lovable Alfred Pennyworth, that deep down only wants the best for Master Bruce, but at the same time is fully aware that Master Bruce is going to do what he feels he must do and on the other hand we have somebody that is truly evil in Max Shreck as Bruce Wayne makes reference to in this sequel roughly; what is your angle; Max Shreck is somebody always looking at the angles, to see what he can get out of this situation, but he has one weakness and that is his son Charles "Chip" Schreck [Andrew Bryniarski:] a good son which is aware of his father's dealings, it is unclear how much he really knows, but as you will see will protect his father if and when it is necessary to do so. The rest of the cast of characters and performances are all good, likewise yet again like its predecessor.

Comedy/Action; Selina Kyle/Catwoman is robbing this Shreck's department store with this modern day classic cinema history sequence, where she is taking these manikin heads off using this whip/her whip amongst other things, rigging this place to explode and then a moment or two later introducing herself to Bruce Wayne/Batman and Oswald Coalport/Penguin which they are discussing things; but whilst they are doing that this back flipping Selina Kyle/Catwoman appears in front of them with this meow and then this massive explosion later on the Batmobile has been hijacked by The Red Triangle Gang for Oswald Coalport/Penguin to take for a joy ride whilst Bruce Wayne/Batman is still inside, Coalport/Penguin is controlling the Batmobile from this children's 20 to 50 P[or whatever the prices nowadays] ride version of the Batmobile and finally we have Bruce Wayne/Batman inside the Bat Ski Boat communicating with Alfred Pennyworth trying to stop this situation from happening.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; likewise like its predecessor this is one of those films that you need to see wants in your lifetime, but may I suggest watching the 1989 one first. This film also has some awards accredited to its name and not all of them are positive either 2 Winners Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA 1993 Saturn Award Stan Winston Ve Neill and BMI Film & TV Awards 1993 and 2006 BIM Film Music Award Elfman. 29 Nominees that includes Academy Awards, USA 1993 Best Effects, Visual Effects Michael L. Fink Craig Barron John Bruno Dennis Skotak and from the same award ceremony/event Best Makeup Ve Neill Ronnie Specter Stan Winston. Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA 1993 yes the same award ceremony/event from earlier Saturn Award Best Supporting Actor Danny DeVito, now I have pointed this out I have to point out Razzie Awards 1993 Worst Supporting Actor Danny DeVito; usually I wouldn't criticise this, but in this case I will, I don't know how they came to this conclusion, because Danny DeVito as Oswald Coalport/Penguin gave us something different as I have already referenced the trio were all victims in one way or another, so it made them more identifiable
