Before/After: What are the actors of Batman Returns doing today?

Three years after the monumental success of Batman, with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson in the shoes of the Joker, Tim Burton is back for his sequel: Batman Returns. A film in which the director of Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Sleepy Hollowinfuses all his art for strange creatures and the gothic tale. Alongside Michael Keaton, also back in the dark knight, there are Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman, and the disturbing The Penguin (Danny Devito) who steals the show. Not enough, however, to ride on the success of his predecessor and its $400 million at the global box office. What Warner will consider a semi-failure, will sign the end of the filmmaker in the Batman universe. He will be replaced by Joel Schumacher.
