What viewers say about Batman Returns
Selected viewer reactions, in their own words. These excerpts reflect individual opinions, not an overall verdict.
Viewer reaction
“The only other great batman movie. Not as much action but still was a really good movie.”
Viewer reaction
“Batman Returns overplays the comic book campiness of the decade and Burton's strange style but is balanced by astonishing performances and a more contained superhero…”
Viewer reaction
“Tim Burton's original Batman definitely deserved a worthy sequel.”

Viewer reaction
“Michael Keaton returns as the caped crusader, but he doesn't actually feature so much as this story is dominated by the megalomaniac "Shreck" (Christopher Walken)…”
