Batman 1989:a legend - Batman Reviews

Everyone likes Batman because of various reasons but the one that started it all is this movie.There's some kind of charm to this original Batman that is sorely lacking in today's blockbusters.It has a toy-like quality.It doesn't aim to impress but to delight.The movie was a massive success when it released but the weird thing is that in spite of its success it still somehow feels like a small,personal film-personal both for the filmmaker, Tim Burton as well as for the audience.It was a movie by and for misfits at a time when it just happened that an awful lot of us were feeling like misfits.It was very much of its time and it made a powerful connection. Michael Keaton makes an intriguing and compelling Batman.Jack Nicholson as The Joker was excellent and he kept everyone entertained while he was on screen.Kim Basinger was the beautiful Vicky Vale. There are some parts I don't agree on especially when Alfred brought Vicky into the Batcave.He would not have done that in the comics.They also kind of mixed up the plot about Bruce Wayne's parents murdered by the Joker. This movie can transform you into a Batman fan even if before this you hated Batman.The movie was kind of dark and it suits the story and the gothic-glow of Gotham City. If you're a Batfan and never watch this movie,WATCH IT! This is a classic to the Batman franchise and also to all superheroes franchises too.Batman's the real deal.
