Batman Returns (1992) 8/10 - I've never actually seen this one all the way through, and now that I have, I must say it is far superior to it's predecessor. It's just really weird - in a good way.

I've shamefully only seen TDK once (I know, I know), but this is still my favourite film in the Batman series. Except, I don't really look at it as a Batman film. It's just Tim Burton being given an unlimited amount of money to do whatever he wanted as long as Batman was in there somewhere. And I would consider it his best film; it's basically a 1930s German Expressionist horror film. TDK is probably the best Batman film, but this is the best film in the franchise, if that makes any sense.

Oh no, it's not really a Batman film to me either, just a Burton film. I think that is why it succeeds in ways the first doesn't, because that film was trying to be both a Burton film and a Batman film, and thus lacked in both areas. As for TDK, I have to say it is probably one of my top favorite films of all time, but I can understand how someone with slightly different tastes then me would put Batman Returns higher. Still definitely worth re-watching though.
