Batman, the best comic book based film...ever!!! - Batman Reviews

Seriously, name another movie based on a comic book that was more satisfyingly complete than Batman. I challenge you. Superman? A good movie, but a little too camp. The Matrix? A great Star Wars re-make with a Jesus story mixed in. Spiderman, The Hulk or X-men/2? All great but not as awesome or groundbreaking a film as the original Batman, as directed by Tim Burton. Arguably one of Burton's greatest films, the dark gothic tone of the film is established with relative ease by the creepy flick-maker. Micheal Keaton is cast perfectly along with Jack Nicholson as the Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime! If you couldn't already tell by all of this, I was a huge comic book fan as a kid (who wasn't) and an even bigger Batman fan. I can't wait to see what Christopher Nolan does in Batman Begins with Christian Bale as the caped crusader. I'm sure that it will be an improvement on the work of Joel Shumacher, who practically ruined the series. farleydave3
