Tim Burton’s ‘89 Batman is an exceptional film that perfectly captures the spirit and look of the comic genre. A gangster named Jack Napier rises up and becomes the super-villain Joker after a chemical accident and terrorizes Gotham City, and it’s up to the crime-fighting vigilante Batman to stop him. Both Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson (especially Nicholson) give brilliant performances that elevate the material. And, accompanying the film is a Danny Elfman score (which may be his finest work), and a Prince soundtrack that perfectly complement the scenes; enhancing the mood and the tone. Batman rejuvenated the comic genre and quickly became the standard-bearer for all others to live up to.
