Batman 1989

Funny how in 1992. Batman Returns was called a disappointing and overly dark sequel. Today it is called superior to this film. While I have warmed up to Batman Returns.
I think this film deserves much better reviews than Returns. Even though if you listen to Tim Burton’s commentary. He didn’t really even know why he had a final confrontation on top of the church.
Joker had no real game plan, unlike Ledger’s. I accept it as Joker just being crazy and truly heart broken that he is now a freak. Like he said, he is crying on the inside. He wants everyone else to be stuck with a silly grin on their face as well.
As for Joker’s obsession with Vicky Vale. It’s just to unnecessarily give Batman a damsel in distress. Unlike Batman 3-4 though, it takes Batman seriously. After Batman & Robin failed. At least WB realized that darker is better.
