  1. There was only one Batman film...

    ... and this was it. Tim Burton did an awesome job on this film. Michael Keaton does a good Batman, and Jack Nicholson does The Joker even better. An all time classic that I don't think anyone will better (or dare to).
  2. first and best

    06 December 2008
    Directed by Tim Burton, this is the first and best of the Batman films, stylishly combining our gothic hero and a clownish villain, and featuring the most effective use of Jack Nicholson's crazed, leering face since The Shining. Thankfully more faithful to the comics of the 1980s than the camp TV shows of the 60s, this is an atmospheric and genuinely engaging film, as you watch The Joker and our brooding superhero slug it out over the safety of Gotham City and the love-interest Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger). Even the board game was good.
