The dark hero! - Batman Reviews

Dark overtones sets the scope of this expansive retelling of a crime fighting caped crusader inspired by Frank Miller graphic novel ?The Dark Knight Returns? and based on the DC comic classic by Bob Kane. With the unexpected cruel death of his parents, millionaire Bruce Wayne [Michael Keaton] lives a solitude life of swallowed anger and sufferation. Gotham City is rampantly over-run by crime, amply frustrated with the situation Wayne channels his disturbing anger to deliver his own breed of justice in the form of a vigilante, disguised as costume wielding hero known as Batman. The Dark Hero is faced with the most diabolical villian in Jack Napier a.k.a. The Joker [Jack Nicholson], who?s no hold barred relentless crime streak mixed with his laughable demeanors causes quite a showdown. Artistically creative, director Tim Burton delivers a magnificent spectacle of fantasy styled rendition with an excellent storyline of well explained in-depth structure written for the screen by Sam Hamm and Warren Skaaren. Burton masterful vision mixed with the Academy Award winning Art Direction of Anton Furst and Peter Young, orchestrates a unique blend of artistic flair entwined in a dark imaginative setting. The onscreen combination of Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson is absolutely flawless, as there offers to the audiences decisively accurate performances in there portrayal of varied characters. Considered to be the ultimate duel of good versues evil, between a rogue crime fighter who carries a sadistic torch for all perpetrators and a grotesque madman with an inflatable taste of cruel humour, inevitably squares of for a highly climatic battle. Tim Burton was instrumental in the resurrection of the ?Batman? franchise, as the then worldwide based comic book monopoly was undeniably falling short of it?s now major competitor of the time, Marvel comics. Like it?s comic book brother in arms Superman, Batman is stylish adaption with a most memorable character of triumphant excellence, and regarded as one of the best derivation from comic pages to movie magic.
