The sequel Batman Returns fits the list by successfully expanding on the dark and atmospheric world created in the original. Directed by Tim Burton, the sequel delves deeper into Michael Keaton's Bruce Wayne's psyche and introduces Iconic villains like Catwoman, played by Michelle Pfieffer, and Danny DeVito's Penguin. Visually striking, thematically complex, and distinctly gothic in Burtonesque style, the movie thrives on providing a captivating experience for the viewers.
