The world was in love with the Caped Crusader! Batman ‘89 had catapulted this character off the comic pages onto the movie screen, and into peoples’ hearts. There was immense pressure on the team in charge of continuing the story. Who do you cast in the iconic villain roles? How do you construct a film to please comic readers but also make sure it is enjoyable to kids who will ultimately buy the toys? Will they give Sean Young another chance to have a starring role?
