Gotham City. Crime boss Carl Grissom (Jack Palance) effectively runs the town but there's a new crime fighter in town - Batman (Michael Keaton). Grissom's right-hand man is Jack Napier (Jack Nicholson), a brutal man who is not entirely sane... After falling out between the two Grissom has Napier set up with the Police and Napier falls to his apparent death in a vat of chemicals. However, he soon reappears as The Joker and starts a reign of terror in Gotham City. Meanwhile, reporter Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger) is in the city to do an article on Batman. She soon starts a relationship with Batman's everyday persona, billionaire Bruce Wayne.
Leave your thoughts about Batman.
| Bullz-Eye.comDavid MedskerThat Nicholson could make this homicidal maniac so sympathetic is a testament to his performance. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleIn short, Batman is terrific - funny, smart and sensitive too, the perfect cinematic date. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonThe movie fixes you in its gravitational pull. It's an enveloping, walk-in vision... As rich and satisfying a movie as you're likely to see all year. |
| The Hollywood ReporterRon PenningtonThis Batman is a stunning achievement, especially through the incredible and unique visualization of director Tim Burton. The film may be disappointing to those expecting a campy cartoon, however, although the more dramatic stylization of this version is its strongest asset. |
| People MagazineRalph NovakNicholson's Joker is a villain worthy of a real superhero and Keaton's Batman gets to perform some cinematic superheroics of the first order. |
| Sunday Times (UK)George PerryThe new Batman is the most intelligent film ever made from a comic book. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksNicholson does indeed blow everybody else off the screen. Sometimes it seems this movie should be called Joker instead of Batman. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyVisually arresting but dramatically undernourished, the film suffers from bland characterization (particularly by Basinger's Vicki and the other "good" crime fighters) and is ultimately saved by Jack Nicholson's bravura turn as the diabolical Joker. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkBurton's direction rises to a Wagnerian hysteria (an impression backed by Danny Elfman`s roaring orchestral score) as the two mortal enemies fight it out on the brink of a zillion-foot drop. Burton achieves a genuine majesty at that moment-though he would need one or two more like it to make Batman a genuinely memorable film. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperI guess I did not expect better, but I had hoped for it nonetheless. |
