This adult-oriented tale continues the story of Batman (Kiton) - a superhero who tries now to rid the dull and gothic-looking Gotham City of the evil Penguin (Danny DeVito). Sexual component of the film is CatWoman (Michelle Pfeiffer) who uses her long black whip even better than the famous adventurer Indiana Jones. US Box office of the film exceeds 150 million dollars, so the picture can be called a high-grade one also because of its visual effects, make-up and everything (but the story seems naive a lot in some moments). But, nevertheless, this screen comic is suitable for all family to see. At the final minutes of film, DeVito's Penguin looks even pity: he is a monster, but he's undoubtedly unhappy creature. |
