Storyline

Having defeated the Joker, Batman now faces the Penguin - a warped and deformed individual who is intent on being accepted into Gotham society. Crooked businessman Max Schreck is coerced into helping him become Mayor of Gotham and they both attempt to expose Batman in a different light. Earlier however, Selina Kyle, Max's secretary, is thrown from the top of a building and is transformed into Catwoman - a mysterious figure who has the same personality disorder as Batman. Batman must attempt to clear his name, all the time deciding just what must be done with the Catwoman. Written by Graeme Roy <gsr@cbmamiga.demon.co.uk>

Trivia

The catsuit was so tight on Michelle Pfeiffer that she often had trouble hearing her own voice. Tim Burton had to tell her to lower her voice register because she would often shout her dialogue instead of just saying it. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: After "rescuing" the mayor's baby, the Penguin rides one of his duck boats up on a scissor lift. The boat is shown to have short walls on the side and the duck's head is clearly the highest point on the boat. But when Penguin rises out of the manhole, his feet are nearly level with the ground, implying either he had another lift inside the boat or the rest of the boat was crushed against the sewer ceiling.
