About this product

Product Information

Director Tim Burton would revitalise the comic book adaptation with his 1989 film, BATMAN. Here our eponymous hero (played by Michael Keaton) is pitted against a devastating foe, Jack Napier (Jack Nicholson); a criminal who inadvertently becomes the notorious Joker, after falling head-first into a vat of smouldering acid. The film became a media sensation upon its original release and has stood as a benchmark for all summer event movies ever since.

Additional InformationTim Burton's BATMAN, inspired by Frank Miller's graphic novel THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, is a Gothic, Wagnerian treatment of the Batman mythos that explains the origins of Batman (Michael Keaton) and his nemesis, the maniacal Joker (a ripe Jack Nicholson).<BR>Gotham City is a sunless, ominous haven for criminals, held in the corrupt grip of crime boss Carl Grissom (the ever-magnetic Jack Palance), and terrorized by a sadistic vandal and murderer known as The Joker. But it isn't long before a dark, mysterious caped crusader, who goes by the name of BATMAN, is on their trail and trying to thwart their evil doings. In this darkly entertaining retelling of the Marvel comic classic, ace photojournalist Vicki Vale (warmly and sympathetically played by Kim Basinger) is also on the trail--she wants to find out who Batman really is. Based on the popular comic book character created by Bob Kane for DC Comics; the story and tone have nothing in common with the popular TV series of the 1960s. Imaginative special effects and imposing, Gothic architectural sets dominate this visually graphic, stylish film. Keaton gives a brooding performance as the Caped Crusader and his interestingly understated alter-ego Bruce Wane. But is it Nicholson's Joker that steals the show, with his unnerving, brilliantly maniacal portrayal, especially in the context of his twisted relationship with Grissom's gal Alicia (a lanky, disquieting Jerry Hall).

  • "Ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?"

    Great! The best Batman film. Michael Keaton is perfect as Batman, Jack Nicholson makes a great joker too. Tim Burton is an excellent director, this movie is visually stunning. Highly recommend it.

  • The best Batman

    Great film with great acting and characters. Jack Nicholson at his best. Michael Keaton does a great job too. Makes you wonder why Christian Bale was so growly when he speaks on his versions.

  • Dark, intimate, new and mature.

    The best of all the Batman films. Dark, intimate, new and mature. Bases which aren't all covered by any of the Batman films that have followed in the decades since its release, including Tim Burton's own highly disappointing sequel.
