Query: Messy, gory sequel just plain stinks...

Tim Burton returned to direct this sequel to the successful "Batman," but here the premise is too dark and too grisly. Danny DeVito is just okay as the Penguin, but even worse is Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman. Michael Keaton has absolutely nothing to do with his role and this film is mostly just an excuse for Tim Burton to be scary. The plot is absurd, the characters are unconvincing, including Christopher Walken as a minor bad guy. Consequently, Burton did not return to direct the next two films.
