Plot
Shortly after the events of the first film, Bruce Wayne's alter-ego Batman, has finally ridden Gotham City of all organized crime. He finally hangs up his cape, and retires Batman once and for all. Ten years later, his old enemy The Joker returns to action. When Bruce realizes that the Gotham P.D. can't handle his havoc, he must suit up again as Batman. But first, he must re-kindle with his old partner Robin, since they both went their separate ways and they haven't spoken in years.

Dick Grayson has had plans of his own, becoming a new hero known as Nightwing, fighting crime in another city. Bruce realizes whom Nightwing truly is, and for the sake of the lives in Gotham, they must but aside their differences and team up once again. But not as Batman and Robin, but as their own separate identities.

Meanwhile, when they return, they find Gotham in complete chaos, as Joker has made it that way. Commissioner Jim Gordon has retired, and without him the Gotham P.D. are worthless. No one can reason with the mad man, since he does not want money, he just wants to see Gotham like this, and only commits his crimes for fun. Batman and Nightwing must save the day, for hopefully, the very last time. But The Joker is much more of a stronger force than before.

Critical Reception
The film holds a 64% "fresh" rating the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus: "With it's intentional campy charm, Anderson delivers a funny self-parody of the Batman saga, even if it's story and effects are less breath-taking then previous adventures of the Caped Crusader."

Many fans were initially split with the idea of a throwback Batman film like this, but when it was released more fans were satisfied then not. The film was praised for it's humor, though criticized the lack of other notable characters that could've easily been included to the story.
