Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
Thanks to the ambitious vision of director Tim Burton, the blockbuster hit of 1989 delivers the goods despite an occasionally spotty script, giving the caped crusader a thorough overhaul in keeping with the crime fighter's evolution in DC Comics. Michael Keaton strikes just the right mood as the brooding "Dark Knight" of Gotham City; Kim Basinger plays Gotham's intrepid reporter Vicki Vale; and Jack Nicholson goes wild as the maniacal and scene-stealing Joker, who plots a takeover of the city with his lethal Smilex gas. Triumphant Oscar-winning production design by the late Anton Furst turns Batman into a visual feast, and Burton brilliantly establishes a darkly mythic approach to Batman's legacy. Danny Elfman's now-classic score propels the action with bold, muscular verve. --Jeff Shannon

- The Joker
Why not start off a batman sprea with the first one containing Batman's most vile and sicotic villians the Joker. Jack Nicholson portrays the joker in a meaningfull way. true that he dosen't kick Batman's butt. but he toys with him mentally. which is a good start on nicholson's part. and michael keaton as batman it could'nt get any better. Keaton portays batman in the darkside of him. this movie is awesome. Tim Burton at his best. it's a must see for all batfans

- The only Tim Burton movie I DIDN'T like.
Totally miscast.
Michael Keaton? Not a good leading man or a toughguy.
Nicolson? UUGH, he just gets more and more annoying and self absorbed with age.
Pfeifer? She was passable, but the usual whiny, damsel in distress.
Boring, long, unmemorable.
Skip this and go with the new Batman Begins.

- A MUST SEE IF YOU TRULY LOVE BATMAN !!!
I was nine years old when this movie came out and I can remember seeing it in theaters with my mom and dad. I remember also seeing this movie when it landed on VHS and how me,my dad and uncle must have watched it like 2 times. This is one of those types of movies you can watch over and over and over again without ever getting tired of it! A great All-Star cast,fantastic visual presentation,excellent plot,rememorable lines. If you know someone who has never got into comics this is pretty much ... Read More

- The Original Bat gets its Due on DVD
As a boy, I remember fleeting images of Tim Burton's Batman, mostly the gloomy atmosphere that he created and Jack Nicholson's iconic Joker, especially how he was created. Then some years later, after seeing Sam Rami's Spider-Man (2002), I decided to pick up the old VHS copy I had of the film, and re-watch it, with more maturity as my advantage for understanding it better. I can say that the moment Danny Elfman's music started playing I was hooked all over again, and by the time it was over, I had ... Read More

- The film that started it all...
It feels unfair to compare Burton's 1989 film with `Batman Begins'; Christopher Nolan's vastly superior introduction to the Dark Knight. So, I will try with all earnestness not to do that. Burton's original is dark, brooding, moody and effective to a point, but it falls short of the brilliance that was captured by Nolan's recent attempt to revive the superhero genre.

I will say this; this is a superhero movie that for the most part feels like a `superhero' movie. Remember the days ... Read More
