Batman
This is the best Batman movie I have ever seen (and I have seen all of them). Batman is up against the Joker, Batman`s worst enemy.
My favourite character is the Joker(Jack Nicholson).
My favourite gadget was the Joker`s acid spitting flower.
Disk 2 is great as well.
It`s well worth your money!

The Batman but not as I know it.
As somebody that has loved the batman mythos for over twenty years I have to say that this movie is absolutley superb. While it can be considered as an 'elsewords' take on the batman which takes severe liberties with the overall story arcs (The joker didn't kill batman's parents, harvey dent is white and becomes two face!) It still maintains the ethos of the character and takes it too a new and interesting place. While batman begins sets its stall in a more realistic take on the dark knight (begins is superior to this but only just!) burtons vison sets up Gotham city and its architecture as part of the tortured soul of bruce wayne, here corruption, graft, murder are all par of the course. The designs for the costumes point toward the old pulp comics in which kane based his vision on originally such as 'the shadow'. The film is dark, people always comment that this joker is a fun trickster but they have clearly missed the point, here is a man who disfigures an innocent woman's face, kills his detractors and shows no remorse. The joker here is a dark psychotic madman. Yes he's fun but you wouldn't want to meet this guy in a dark alley! Another Myth is that Nicholson steals the show, while that is true to an extent I dont think the people that make that comment appreciate that burtons batman lies in the shadow and is therefore a more introverted batman in the film. This does not make either actor, nicolson or keaton better or worse in this movie it just means that the joker is by definition the focal point of the extroverted style which he has in the comics and in this movie. I dont like getting into which batman films are better but just to say that batman, batman returns, begins and the forthcoming dark knight are the greatest not only batman films but comic book adaptations in the world. Thankyou to Burton and Nolan for giving us TRUE BATMAN FANS what we deserved after years of kapow crap.

Love That Joker
Brilliant, very dark, very Tim Burton, very Batman, and very 80s (in a good way). Love Keaton's lost little boy Bruce Wayne and dark brooding, and strangly sexy Batman. Nicholson's Joker is funny and evil all at the same time, and his larger than life proformence means you for give him for being a little 2 Porkish for the role. Can't wait to see what the late Heith Ledger does with the role

I kinda like this one Bob

Great..except
Great film.The best Batman film ever. Keaton can't be beaten as Batman. My only gripe is the stupid long barreled hand gun as used by The Joker. For that annoyance I left a star out of my rating.

review by: Ax date: 2007-12-08 rating:

If I could I'd give it tripley 5 stars!
This is my favourite! If I could, I'd give it infinity stars! The acting is brilliant, the sets are brilliant, the actors are brilliant, the film is BRILLIANT!

The cast are as follows: Jack Nicholson (Jack Napier/Joker), Michael Keaton (Bruce Wayne/Batman), Kim Basinger (Vicki Vale), Robert Wuhl (Reporter Alexander Knox), Pat Hingle (Commissioner James "Jim" Gordon), Billy Dee Williams (District Attorney Harvey Dent), Michael Gough (Alfred Pennyworth), Jack Palance (Carl Grissom).

I don't know what else to say except: BUY IT!
