Batman

Directed by Tim Burton
1989
★ 5.1 editorial score

Fifty thousand people wrote to Warner Bros protesting the casting of a comedy actor as Batman: Burton and Michael Keaton made the character gothic, and Prince wrote the songs.

“Dark, haunting and poetic, Tim Burton's "Batman" is a magnificent living comic book. From its opening shots, as the camera descends into the grim, teeming streets of Gotham City, the movie fixes you in its gravitational pull. It's an enveloping, walk-in vision. You enter into it as you would a magical forest in a fairy tale, and the deeper you're drawn into it, the more frighteningly vivid it becomes.”
