Editorial Reviews

Behind the black cowl, Gotham City superhero Batman is really millionaire philanthropist Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton), who turned to crimefighting after his parents were brutally murdered before his eyes. The only person to share Wayne's secret is faithful butler Alfred (Michael Gough). The principal villain in Batman is The Joker (Jack Nicholson) who'd been mob torpedo Jack Napier before he was horribly disfigured in a vat of acid. The Joker's plan to destroy Batman and gain control of Gotham City is manifold. First he distributes a line of booby-trapped cosmetics, then he goes on a destruction spree in the Gotham Art Museum while the music of Prince blasts away in the background, and finally he orchestrates an all-out campaign to win the hearts and minds of the Gothamites, hoping to turn them against the Cowled One. Meanwhile, reporter Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger) becomes the love of Batman's life-which of course plays right into the Joker's hands. Photographed by Roger Pratt, designed by Anton Furst, and scored by Tim Burton's favorite composer Danny Elfman, Batman was a monstrous box-office hit, making $100 million in the first ten days of release--$82,800,000 in North America alone. Incidentally, Billy Dee Williams' comparatively small role as DA Harvey Dent was originally designed to set up the sequel, wherein Dent was to convert into master criminal Two-Face; but by the time the producers got around to that character in 1995's Batman Forever, Two-Face was played by Tommy Lee Jones.

August 03, 2005: This movie rocks, plain and simple. The setting, the actors, the mood, and well... the actors. You got to give Keaton and Nicholson props, they steal the show. Nicholson's performance was probably one the best I have ever seen in the role of antagonist, he was brilliantly bizzare. Keaton was perfect for batman, more so than kilmer and clooney. He just gives the movie a great personality that reminds you why are there! Overall, I applaud Tim Burton, he truly has done a great job making Batman.

July 18, 2005: This 1989 gem of superhero/comic book films ranks as perhaps the best superhero movie that was ever made (though "Batman Returns" the new "Batman Begins" comes dangerously close). Tim Burton showed how much he respected the Batman character with this film. He gave the film the dark, gothic feel of the comics. The cast is perfect: Michael Keaton was perfectly chosen as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Kim Basinger played a passable Vicki Vale, and Jack Nicholson stole the show as The Joker. He was just awesome. The plot may seem tacky to some (not me), but ignore that and watch the film for the jaw-dropping scenery, dazzling special effects, thrilling action sequences and excellent acting.
