	Batman (1989 movie)
		Batman was released in U.S. theaters on June 23, 1989 by Warner Bros. and soon became the highest grossing movie of the year.
		It was directed by Tim Burton and starred Jack Nicholson as a rather psychotic Joker, Michael Keaton as Batman, and Kim Basinger as reporter Vicky Vale.
		This movie ushered a return to the "dark" roots of the Batman of the comics and away from the campy 1960s Batman television series and cartoon Super Friends.

		Batman was the title of an exceptionally popular TV series based on the comic-book character Batman that aired on ABC TV from 1966 through 1968.
		Its use of outrageous, psychedelic sets and costumes, along with wild camera angles (with the villains' lairs always being filmed with the camera at an angle to emphasize the "crooked" nature of the bad guys) and bright colors, were meant to evoke the four-color, campy world of the comic books of the 1950s and 1960s.
		A movie version of the TV show was released to theaters (see Batman (1966 movie)), but it did not become a large box office hit.

	'Batman'
		Clearly, the movie's Gotham is meant to be a nightmare variation on present-day New York City.
		In fl from ear-tip to toe, this Batman is truly a larger-than-life figure, potent and terrifying, and the flourish with which he's brought onstage allows him to rise to his full superhero stature.
		As Batman, Keaton's plush lips and piercing eyes are as much a part of his uniform as the hood and cape -- they emphasize the flesh under the superhero armament.

	Batman Begins or Batman 1989 - Movie, TV & DVD Forums
		Batman Begins, on the other hand, is more a Bruce Wayne movie than it is an Batman movie.
		Batman Begins was good, but it was a bit slow at times, and the action didn\'t impress me. There were too many frenetic and/or close shots.
		Batman has been a household name ever since the long-running Adam West TV show, and it was brought into the current gernation by Frank Miller\'s "Dark Knight" take on the original comics.

	Review: Batman (1989)
		The movie faced some stiff competition, chiefly from the disastrously underperforming Star Trek V, which was a has-been soon after its release, and from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, which scored big at the box office, but not big enough to topple Batman.
		Batman was a regular guy (albeit a rich one) who made himself into a superhero through intelligence, stamina, strength, and an amazing array of gadgets.
		Batman is largely content to skim the surface and bask in the light of its visual style.

		All of the big moments in the movie are pounded home with ear-shattering sound effects and a jackhammer cutting style, but that just serves to underline the movie's problem, which is a curious lack of suspense and intrinsic interest.
		"Batman" discards the recent cultural history of the Batman character - the camp 1960s TV series, the in-joke comic books - and returns to the mood of the 1940s, the decade of film noir and fascism.
		The strangest scene in the movie may be the one where Vicky is brought into the Batcave by Alfred, the faithful valet, and realizes for the first time that Bruce Wayne and Batman are the same person.

		Batman appealed to a new generation with the release of Warner Bros. movies in the late 1980s and the 1990s.
		Each movie truly showed Batman's strengths, vulnerabilities and why he deserves the status of super-hero, not just in a fictional sense, but as a role model for all children as well.
		The new movie Batman Begins, which is scheduled to release on June 4th, 2005 will go deeper into the evolution of Batman and will be a great boon for fans after the 8 year hiatus from the last Batman movie.

	Batman (1989)
		Lots of people think that Batman and 1992’s Batman Returns were too dark and disturbing and would have preferred lighter fare such as the old TV series from the 1960s; these people somewhat got their wish with the brighter - and much less compelling Joel Schumacher entries, 1995’s Batman Forever and Batman and Robin.
		However, the execution of their duties varied radically, since Batman tended to be rather serious and grim while the web-swinger always tossed in delightful bon mots as he bopped the baddies.
		Bruce Wayne became Batman because of a quest for justice/vengeance spurred by the murder of his parents when he was a kid.

		Batman has many familiar forms, and not just because his alter-ego, millionaire Bruce Wayne, is as stylish and glamorous as his darker half is mysterious and brooding.
		When Batman made his debut in issue #27 of Detective Comics, swinging from a rope with a crook clutched under his arm, the occasion was momentous not because of the superpowers being demonstrated, but for the character of the hero.
		Batman still didn't have any superpowers, but the show featured his array of gadgets, from his ever-present utility belt to the Batarang and the rocket-fueled Batmobile.

	Movie Review \| Batman (1989) Jack Nicholson, Tim Burton
		efore 1989, unless you were an avid comic book reader, you probably viewed Batman as a clownish superhero, trading punches and quips with bad guys with his youthful assistant Robin faithfully at his side.
		Batman must use all his talent, as well as an impressive array of weaponry, to stop an enemy with a very personal connection to him.
		The Joker is a wild ball of attention-getting energy, and tends to overshadow "Batman's" titular character.

		Campy television series aside, Batman has always seemed the most serious, the most grounded, the most real of all the comic book sagas.
		Batman would be a serious film (well, as serious as a comic book movie can be) and Keaton was perfect in the Bruce Wayne/Batman role.
		But all in all, Batman is certainly a worthy effort.

		These questions were answered with a teaser trailer that not only gave some confidence to the fans, but also showed that the new movie would be completely different form the old series.
		Plagued by a massive screenwriters strike that menaced the production being delivered on time, Tim Burton’s "Batman" was probably the most successful film to adapt the comic book’s atmosphere in film, giving it a very gloomy and realistic coating.
		At the time of the movie’s release, the casting of Michael Keaton as Batman unleashed outraged protests by the fans’ communities.

		After watching the last two Batman flicks, I had kind of written the series off, but watching this on TV the other night I realized that I had forgotten how good this was.
		I saw Batman with my best friend on opening weekend back in 1989 and I literally had stitches in my side from laughing every time the Joker, who is my all-time favorite villain by the way, had a scene.
		Batman is the son of the shadows, whose familiar disgrace is simply an unconscious trigger that allows us to identify with him against his sworn and untiring fight against the forces of evil.

		Burton's take on The Dark Knight finally came to the screen in 1989 with a level of anticipation and hype that was totally unprecedented at the time.

		This is a fun little documentary that traces Batman's 60+ year history, from comics to TV to the big screen.
