Why Batman Returns is a Great Christmas Movie

Holiday classics like It’s a Wonderful Life are always a great way to ring in the season, but sometimes you want a less conventional Christmas movie. Tim Burton’s 1992 sequel Batman Returns wraps this superhero story with the spirit of the season. Set at Christmastime, the movie sees Batman (Michael Keaton) at odds with two villains: industrialist Max Shreck (Christopher Walken) and crime boss Oswald Cobblepot (Danny DeVito), also known as the Penguin. He also finds himself beset and besotted by the mysterious Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer) and her secret identity, Selina Kyle.
