Return of the Dark Knight

Advantages: Tim Burton, Michael Keaton
Disadvantages: Batman and Robin, George Clooney, Nipples on the suit!

...set contains the first 4 Batman films, and the great thing about this box set is that it is cheaper than buying the films individually, and it chronicles the change in the Batman genre, from dark and moody (Burton), to more slapstick and comic-book like (Schumacher). And so we begin with Batman (1989). This is not an origin story, like Batman Begins, instead, the film picks up with Batman already well established as a masked vigilante, putting the ...
...a bell tower showdown. Batman is a very dark affair, but watching it, even now, it's not difficult to see why this film became (at the time) one of the top 10 highest grossing films ever. Burton paints a dark, decrepit, devastating Gotham City, whilst Michael Keaton was born to play the dark knight. Jack Nicholson, as usual, steals the film with one of the great super-villain displays, as the demented Joker. Next to Batman Returns, which sees the ...

...also includes the origin of Batman and the comics he came from. The film has an excellent picture and the acting from Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton and Kim Basinger is fab!. Tim Burton did a wonderful job of making it dark, mysterious and twisted. Anybody who likes Tim Burton films should definitely watch this. ...

The beginning for Burton's Bat

Advantages: Great acting, great story, a dark and 'mood' film - a great adaptation
Disadvantages: None for me.

...and directed by Tim Burton, Batman is the first in a series of films about the comic book hero that was released back in August 1989. This is a review of the film only. ****Story line**** Gotham City is a dangerous and dark place to live that is becoming more and more fraught with criminals each day. The only protection Gotham’s residents have is the local police force, but most of these are corrupt and are only out to line their own pockets. There ...
...in it. The Joker and Batman have two separate and conflicting objectives and soon clash, and have epic scuffles, as each tries to achieve what they set out to do. It appears that Batman ahs not only captured the attention of the Joker, but also that of prize winning journalist Vicky Vale (Kim Basinger), who makes it her mission to uncover the true identity of the man behind the mask and the Bat suit. Will the Joker get his wicked way and take control ...

Very weird

Advantages: Weird
Disadvantages: Weak ending

A few things about this before the actual review. I don't think Peter Fonda was a very experienced rider at all. He wobbles & jerks a lot on the chopper. He looks like he could have done with a lot more practice riding it. Hopper looks the more natural biker of the two. I didn't fancy staying up to watch this so I taped it. And as is always the way the damn thing started early so I missed a little of the start, Fonda & Hopper were already in the ...
...about the what's and why's of the start. The film is a very psychedelic look at late 60's America, It's almost like someone read some Jack Kerouac and decided to make it into a film. The film makes a very definite statement from the moment Fonda drops his watch before they set out on the road. They have no need to measure time or to know anything exact. They trip happily along having small things happen, A flat tire, picking up a hike-hiker (I almost ...
