The first draft for BATMAN II was finished in 1990. The plot: Catwoman and the Penguin would frame Batman, turning the poilce, and Gotham against him and Vicki Vale would be rescued by an acrobatic street kid named Dick. The script was thrown away and a new one was made. The New script did in fact have the two villians framing Batman, but now there was now Vicki Vale. Batman, however, was the one that was assited by a street kid named Dick, who had an "R" on his over alls. Annette Bening was cast as Catwoman, but had to drop out due to pregnancy. Sean Young, Who was first cast as Vicki Vale in BATMAN, was a little miffed that she was not chosen to play Catwoman, show up at the WB lot dreesed in a home made outfit. Burton quickly got Michelle Pfeiffer into the role. For the Penguin the choice wasn't hard. Even before the script for BATMAN RETURNS was done, fans knew that Danny Devito was going to be the short, bird like villian. The film was almost set. Again, just as it had happened for BATMAN, The part of Robin was dropped. WB denied that the part was even in there, but cast sheets had the part being played by Marlon Wayans.
Although fans liked it less that the first, BATMAN RETURNS was another financial Success making $162,831,698 unadjusted, and $224,040,722 Adjusted.
Batman Returns ranked #3 for the top grossing movie of 1992. For the All time unadjusted Rank, Batman Returns comes in at #81.
