Batman Returns was released in 1992 with financial success and generally favorable reviews from critics, but Warner Bros. was disappointed with its box office run, having made $150 million less than the first film. After Batman Returns was deemed too dark and inappropriate for children, with McDonald's even recalling their Happy Meal tie-in, Warner Bros. decided that this was the primary cause of the film's financial results. After the film's release, Warner Bros. was not interested in Tim Burton's return as director. Burton noted he was unsure about returning to direct, writing: "I don't think Warner Bros. wanted me to direct a third Batman. I even said that to them." Burton and Warner Bros. mutually agreed to part ways, though Burton would stay on as executive producer. In June 1993, Joel Schumacher was selected by Warner Bros. while he was filming The Client, and with Burton's approval.

Friends comments and ratings
2025. Yes, Batman has become childish, but when was that a minus for a superhero in leggings? But it’s bright and juicy, the cast is full. Jim Carrey looks especially harmonious.
Compared to the two previous films, this one is so-so. A boring movie, diluted with a good cast. And a huge stone in the garden of the key evil ones with their constant inappropriate and infuriating laughter. 6 – per cast.
This film has a little more acidity and maniacism from Two-Face, pure madness without any admixture of genius. His trick is to trust Fortune. But he doesn’t have Nolan’s backstory, so it’s hard to empathize with pure Insanity. But it’s cool. Kidman is good. Jim Carrey is organic. I recommend it.
Of course, the film today looks very naive, and at times childishly kind, but it is worth watching. Excellent antagonists Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones.
