- Big Bad: Peter Rooker, a mob boss specializing in steroids.
- Bittersweet Ending: Once again, things are definitely more triumphant than the first movie's ending: Darkman's synthetic skin research once again loses a lot of its progress and he again goes back into hiding and avoiding human connections as he did before, but he kills Rooker; wrecks his plans and saves both Angela and Jenny in the process too—specifically by giving the latter his one sample of perfect synthetic skin in order to save her from a horrid burn on her face as well.
- Co-Dragons: Nico is Rooker's right hand man, and Bridget is his chief scientist and lover.

- Friend-or-Idol Decision: Rooker shoots the floppy with the Darkman's accumulated research on skin substitutes, and a fire during the climactic fight leaves one girl severely burnt. Darkman had been intending to use the flask of liquid skin he kept on himself, since it had shown promising results... but he ends the series still faceless, as the flask goes to the burn victim instead.
