Batman (1989) Review - 8/10 Rating

Batman (1989) changed everything. Tim Burton gave Gotham a gothic nightmare atmosphere, Michael Keaton proved every doubter wrong as Bruce Wayne, and Jack Nicholson’s Joker became instantly iconic. The Prince soundtrack, the production design, the Batmobile—every part of it felt like an event. Before modern superhero universes, this was the film that made comic-book movies feel huge again. Stylish, strange and still massively influential.
