About this product
Product Information
Director Tim Burton would revitalise the comic book adaptation with his 1989 film, BATMAN. Here our eponymous hero (played by Michael Keaton) is pitted against a devastating foe, Jack Napier (Jack Nicholson); a criminal who inadvertently becomes the notorious Joker, after falling head-first into a vat of smouldering acid. The film became a media sensation upon its original release and has stood as a benchmark for all summer event movies ever since.Product Identifiers

Additional InformationTim Burton's BATMAN, inspired by Frank Miller's graphic novel THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, is a Gothic, Wagnerian treatment of the Batman mythos that explains the origins of Batman (Michael Keaton) and his nemesis, the maniacal Joker (a ripe Jack Nicholson).<BR>Gotham City is a sunless, ominous haven for criminals, held in the corrupt grip of crime boss Carl Grissom (the ever-magnetic Jack Palance), and terrorized by a sadistic vandal and murderer known as The Joker. But it isn't long before a dark, mysterious caped crusader, who goes by the name of BATMAN, is on their trail and trying to thwart their evil doings. In this darkly entertaining retelling of the Marvel comic classic, ace photojournalist Vicki Vale (warmly and sympathetically played by Kim Basinger) is also on the trail--she wants to find out who Batman really is. Based on the popular comic book character created by Bob Kane for DC Comics; the story and tone have nothing in common with the popular TV series of the 1960s. Imaginative special effects and imposing, Gothic architectural sets dominate this visually graphic, stylish film. Keaton gives a brooding performance as the Caped Crusader and his interestingly understated alter-ego Bruce Wane. But is it Nicholson's Joker that steals the show, with his unnerving, brilliantly maniacal portrayal, especially in the context of his twisted relationship with Grissom's gal Alicia (a lanky, disquieting Jerry Hall).

Dated but still good film
Almost 20 yrs old, this is a grear film, difected by the dark and gothic, Tim Burton. I have not seen this film for probably 15 yrs, and even then i was young and didn't understand ut much, but watching it now, all these years later, i found it fun, entertaining and gripping. If anything, the dvd sound and picture isnt great and hasnt been remastered or in high definition since all that was not around back then. Still a good DVD though.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Classic Batman, the best version made!
I had this film delivered to my house on VHS the same day it was released after entering a competition many years ago as a young boy. Watching it again after seeing more modern versions clarifies in my mind that it is the best Batman movie ever made. Nice Batmobile, and the Joker is played to perfection. Must see!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
