Batman + Danny devito = masterpiece
I love Danny devito. He is one of my favourite actors alongside his always sunny costars, he is such a good villain. These films aren’t amazing but and they can be kinda cheesy or unrealistic but all those reasons just make it more fun and Danny devito works with it perfectly. I loved all the penguin stuff, his lair looked amazing. It’s so cool and fun and an enjoyable watch.
Selina was a little cheesy but again that just made it better, found her relationship to Batman to be a nice watch.
Also, Christopher walken, actually quite a good character. Found him to be quite a cool villain, I like how he was willing to sacrifice himself for his son and they never really show a reason for it. He’s just a cool guy, who is also evil.
Though I love Danny devito in this, the fact joker is one of the best villains of all time and jack Nicholson played him made it hard to top the first one. I think how much I like Danny devito and Christopher walken makes them pretty equal though for me.
Good film!
7.5/10
