Review of Batman

Batman (1989)
7/10
The Batman movie that change audiences
5 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The Dark Knight (Michael Keaton) becomes Gotham savior after his parent's murder and battle his first villain, The Joker (Jack Nicholson).

The movie becomes the stand out Batman movie long before the Mask of the Phantasm and The Dark Knight Trilogy (2005-2012). Also the influences of Batman: The Animated Series (1992) on FoxKids. The movie is not the best, but it still worth watching for all generation.

Michael Keaton is the best Batman, but he does not have Bruce Wayne looks or his playboy flavors. Jack Nicholson gave an over-the-top and memorable performances as the psychic Joker. He still my favorite Joker along with Mark Hamill and the late Health Ledger. Kim Basinger is pretty star, but she's miscast as Vicki Vale. Vicki screams too much and in the comic book Vicki Vale wasn't a damsel in distress. She was just a Photographer-Photojournalist. In here she just eye candy and want to show us what Bruce have left is his compassion.

Some of the Batman movies are good and some are mediocre but the all have their unique way. The animated version will always be better than the live action films.
