Synopsis

Batman lost pretty much all of his brooding menace in the 1960s TV show - but reclaimed it in this stylish film. Michael Keaton plays a slightly grumpy version of the millionaire playboy/dark avenger stalking the dangerous streets of Gotham City, this time as a real loner not accompanied by Robin, Batgirl or any other sidekicks. The film comes to life through director Tim Burton's characteristic gothic touches, Jack Nicholson's attention-hogging Joker and a great soundtrack from Prince.
