Based on the DC Comics character Batman, it is the sequel to Batman (1989) and the second installment in the Batman film series (1989–1997). Set during Christmas in Gotham City, the film follows Batman, played by Michael Keaton (pictured), as he confronts corrupt businessman Max Shreck (Christopher Walken) and deformed crime boss Oswald Cobblepot / the Penguin (Danny DeVito), whose bid for power threatens the city. Their schemes are further complicated by Shreck's former secretary Selina Kyle (Michelle Pfeiffer), who seeks revenge against him as Catwoman. Released in June 1992, Batman Returns broke several box-office records and grossed $266.8 million worldwide, becoming the sixth-highest-grossing film of 1992. Critical reception was polarized, though most reviewers praised the principal cast. Following the film's mixed reception, Burton was replaced as director for its sequel, Batman Forever (1995).
