Batman (1989)
description written by member Zara:
Gotham City: dark, dangerous, 'protected' only by a mostly corrupt police department. Despite the best efforts of D.A. Harvey Dent and police commissioner Jim Gordon, the city becomes increasingly unsafe...until a Dark Knight arises. We all know criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot...so his disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts. He becomes a bat. Enter Vicky Vale, a prize-winning photo journalist who wants to uncover the secret of the mysterious "bat-man". And enter Jack Napier, one-time enforcer for Boss Grissom, horribly disfigured after a firefight in a chemical factory...who, devoid of the last vestiges of sanity, seizes control of Gotham's underworld as the psychotic, unpredictable Clown Prince of Crime...the Joker. Gotham's only hope, it seems, lies in this dark, brooding vigilante. And just how does billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne fit into all of this?

Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as the Joker. This pair teamed up with Director Tim Burton, ignited the big screen in this mega box office success. There is no other actor that could have pulled off the Joker like Nicholson did. Absolutely a brilliant and witty performance that only an aged Jack could render....

I'm not sure that there's a movie that polarizes film fans more than Tim Burton's Batman, and it's got little to do with whether it's technically sound or not. Whether you like Tim Burton's Batman is 100% about what you like versus what you don't. You either like a pudgy Nicholson dancing to Prince in the late '80's...

Jack Nicholson is the Joker, who emerged from a horrible accident as a maniacal criminal. Michael Keaton is the Caped Crusader, who emerged from a childhood trauma to become a masked crimefighter. Kim Basinger is Vicki Vale, the talented photojournalist desired by both men. And Batman is the movie, the all-out spectacular...
