Tim Burton returns to direct this action sequel with Michael Keaton reprising his role as the caped crusader. 33 years after being abandoned as a baby, Oswald Cobblepot (Danny DeVito) returns to Gotham City, bent on revenge, as the Penguin. He begins a warped campaign to become mayor of Gotham, helped by millionaire businessman Max Shreck (Christopher Walken) and undertakes a mission to murder every firstborn son in the city - a plan which will avenge his own beginnings. Meanwhile, Batman emerges to stop him, but struggles with his dual identity after becoming romantically involved with Shreck´s former secretary Selina Kyle (Michelle Pfeiffer), who takes up her own secret identity as Catwoman to get revenge on Shreck.
