Batman Returns(1992)

dir. Tim Burton

The monstrous Penguin, who dwells in the sewers beneath Gotham, joins up with corrupt mayoral candidate Max Shreck to topple the Batman once and for all. But when Shreck's timid assistant Selina Kyle finds out, and Shreck tries to kill her, she's transformed into the sexy Catwoman. She teams up with the Penguin and Shreck to destroy Batman, but sparks fly unexpectedly when she confronts the caped crusader.

Batman Forever(1995)

5.5/10

dir. Joel Schumacher

A-Tier

A-Tier 4K. The most divisive Batman film and the neon production design actually works in HDR. Schumacher's Gotham is garish on purpose and the 4K presentation leans into it.

Batman(1989)

7.5/10

dir. Tim Burton

B-Tier

Burton's Gotham still looks better than most modern comic book films, and the HDR gives the production design room to breathe. B-Tier transfer that people wish were higher.
