The Dark Knight of Gotham City begins his war on crime with his first major enemy being Jack Napier, a criminal who becomes the clownishly homicidal Joker.
Oh boy, is this a classic or what? Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Jack Nicholson as the Joker, Kim Basinger as the love interest, directed by Tim Burton and scored by Danny Elfman? This is a half dark, half colorful steampunk superhero movie that is both entertaining, funny and gritty, maybe one of the best movies based on a comic book ever made. Seven popcorns for sure and leaps into the Movie Vault.
