Batman Returns

Batman Returns operates more like a fairytale than a superhero flick. Batman and his rogues are brought to life through Burton's stylishly Gothic sensibilities and his fascination with the tragic and the outcasts. Sexual energy permeates through Batman Returns in a much more effective and tasteful manner than Batman and Robin. An interesting choice by screenwriter Daniel Waters to give the eponymous Batman the least amount of screen time of the three lead "freaks". Keaton is totally effective with the time he does get as one can feel the duality rumbling below the calm facade that is Bruce Wayne.
