“Michael Keaton is the fabulously wealthy Bruce Wayne, who patrols the nighttime canyons of Gotham City in the guise of Batman, and Jack Nicholson is the sniggering mobster Jack Napier, who turns into the leering madman Joker. Tim Burton’s powerfully glamorous comic-book epic, with sets angled and lighted like film noir, goes beyond pulp. It has a funky, nihilist charge, and an eerie, poetic intensity.” – Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
Reviews
“Dark, smart, and moody drama filled with more than a few laughs.”
– Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune
