The first of many. And, out of the bunch, one of the best. Certainly, the best of the first series of Batman movies. |

Definitely a Burton film -- very dark and strange. Although I liked Nicholson as the Joker and Keaton as Batman, I didn't think the story flowed. It tried too hard. |

In a close call, this is the best of the Batman movies. Michael Keaton is the best Batman this side of Adam West and Jack Nicholson created one of the most iconic figures in movie history as The Joker. |

One of the very first comic book films, Tim Burton took one of the darkest villains and one of the most tormented heroes and turned them into one of the best action movies one can watch. The only reason to dislike this film is due to Kim Basinger, but overall, a wonderful picture (even despite having seen "The Dark Knight") that every Batman fan will enjoy! |

Is worse than some will admit. |

Here is a film that I think people like more than it deserves because of sequels like Batman and Robin and because it was really the only serious Batman with any merit. I thought that at first but then I thought more and saw that it did not really have any merit whatsoever. The visual design might be better than the later ones but not much else. The action scene all look bad for the same reason Batman cannot move. All he does is look really stupid and run at the bad guys with his arms raised into the air. Another problem is none of the characters are true to the source material or good in a unique way. Batman has no character too him nor do any of the side characters because so much time is spent with the Joker. Commissioner Gorden is just a clumsy cop, Harvey Dent is there for basically ... |

Action: 3/3 + Comedy: 1/2 + Good vs Evil: 1/1 + Love/Sex: 0.5/1 + Special Effects: 0.5/1 + Plot: 0.5/1 + Music: 0/1 = 6.5/10 or 65%.
While this film was a cultural phenomenan, even Prince's unofficial soundtrack scored a #1 hit, and it was the best Batman film at the time, Nicholson as the Joker is it's heart and soul. In this Bat-verse he creates Batman and delivers the most quotable line of the Batman film franchises. The Gotham backdrop is also a welcomed dark, Burton-esque nightmare fairytale. The good guys however, particularly Vivky Vale and her tag along news buddy, as well as Keaton, are more stale and uninteresting. Thus, their defeat of the heart and soul of the film leaves much to be desired. |
