Movie Synopsis
Batman (Michael Keaton) is back! Since defeating the “Joker”, Gotham City has gained a moment of tranquility. However, another powerful opponent appeared! This time it is the “Penguin” with a bad temper.
Because “Penguin” was the second son, he was abandoned by his parents since he was a child, and became disabled. As a result, “Penguin” felt unhappy with the whole society. After growing up, the “Penguin” Penguin is determined to return to Gotham City, kill all the eldest sons in the city, and control the entire Gotham City. After forcing the evil businessman Max (Christopher Walken) to help, “Penguin” successfully became the mayor of Gotham. At the same time, Max’s secretary Celia (Michelle Pfeiffer) accidentally learns their secrets, and when they are persecuted by them, she accidentally gains superpowers and becomes a catwoman who is both good and evil.
Batman will face the double challenge of “Penguin” and Catwoman this time!
