booksmusicfilmstv.com Comments on Batman (1989)
Good update of dear old Bats. Michael Keaton plays the title role straighter than Adam West, and Jack Nicholson is superbly manic as the Joker, while the normally smouldering Kim Basinger shows she can be vulnerable and sweet as Vicki Vale. - Paul Rance.

Amazon.co.uk Batman (1989) Review
Thanks to the ambitious vision of director Tim Burton, the blockbuster hit of 1989 delivers the goods despite an occasionally spotty script, giving the caped crusader a thorough overhaul in keeping with the crime fighter's evolution in DC Comics. Michael Keaton strikes just the right mood as the brooding "Dark Knight" of Gotham City; Kim Basinger plays Gotham's intrepid reporter Vicki Vale; and Jack Nicholson goes wild as the maniacal and scene-stealing Joker, who plots a take over of the city with his lethal Smilex gas. Triumphant Oscar-winning production design by the late Anton Furst turns Batman into a visual feast, and Burton brilliantly establishes a darkly mythic approach to Batman's legacy. Danny Elfman's now-classic score propels the action with bold, muscular verve. --Jeff Shannon
