Ah, the eighties. Every movie had a vat of unidentified toxic waste, labeled "toxic waste"

Jack Nicholson Jack Napier Jack Torrance He is the most definitive Jack of all time

This movie was kind of surreal in how it combined 1940s gangster flick/film noir with late 80s pop music.

This was the best Batman

This movie has aged like a fine wine. I love everything about it.

Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson were phenomenal such a combo

2:11 I just love this part and how batman looks. Burton really nailed the shot + lighting and Elfman's score just makes it perfect.

It took me 26 years of my life to finally realize that it wasn't the vat of chemicals that gave the Joker his grin it was the bullet that Batman deflected with his gauntlet cutting into his cheeks as well as the glass

Does anyone else have this entire scene memorized, even the sound effects? This move shaped my childhood.

So that's where my LEGO Batman Nostalgia comes from.

I was 9 years old when I first saw this in theaters and now I am 42 and I have never gotten tired of this and I still liked how LOL funny Jack Nicholson was as the Joker.

I always kinda liked the idea that his "smile" was an accident mixed with a botched surgery. Really lends to the insanity, pain, irony and sadistic acceptance of truly being a crazy smiling clown.

classic color, serious shot, noiric atmosphere, this movie will never get old

One thing that these ones lacked is the Gordon Batman partnership

The way Keaton/Batman moves in this scene is incredible. He isn't very physical, he just sort of glides from place to place, taking out criminals. He definitely gives Batman a supernatural flair that was missing in later films.

At 3:55 I love how you can see the cable holding him but they incorporated it into his suit as a grapple. That’s really genius

@4:25 Remember folks, Michael Keaton is the only Batman actor who could smile in costume and seem even more intimidating.

The set design in this was absolutely incredible

Possibly my favourite scene in the film. Batman's lack of dialogue, the steamy dark shadowy environment, the origin of the villain....

Always loved the sound of the bullets ricocheting. Absolute timeless movie, came out when I was just 4.

4:38 Bob said: "c'mon Jack let's go" before Jack falls into the vat of chemicals and becomes Joker and Joe Chill said the exact same thing to Jack when Bruce's parents were murdered by him..

And to think, in 2022 Michael Keaton will reprise this role once again.

My appreciation of Michael Keaton portrayal of batman has increased over the years.

Always loved that Gordon and Jack are initially horrified by their first sight of Batman. (Although Jack recovers pretty quickly.) Reminds of me that scene in Mask of The Phantasm where Alfred, who has raised Bruce like a son, sees him put on the mask for the first time and is stunned by the monster.

I just love how he smiled before disappearing

That 'Jesus' is the most Jack Nicholson delivery.

I love how Batman is smiling at 4:25 and he still looks badass.

This is the first live action scene where Batman disappears in an instant.

Τhis movie should be in black and white. Its SO NOIR!

The music, the retro look. Everything is awesome. They created the best version of Gotham City.

Keaton was the most batman than any other batman. Loved watching this in the late 80's, my all time favourite Batman #1

1:20 Always gives me a chuckle, the way Gordon startles Eckhart!!

Nicholson is perfect as the Joker!

Saw this in theaters when I was 12 and made me the Batman fan I am today...

5:16 The look in Tim Burton Batman’s eyes tells you that he doesn’t really care if Jack Napier falls and dies. Christopher Nolan’s Batman would’ve been like, “hold on, I want to save your life and prove that I’m better than you!”

Best Batman film of all time.

The score for burtons Batman is truely unmatched

2:11 love this scene so smooth

5:30 Joker: You made me, remember? You dropped me into that vat of chemicals.

"...you made me!...you dropped me into that vat of chemicals!...that wasn't easy to get over...don't think I didn't try." Casting Nicholson was a brilliant decision. My favorite Joker.

Jack Nicholson is an outstanding actor.. He puts his whole heart and soul in his movies. and that is why he is a super star.

If it weren’t for the Tim Burton Batman films, there’d be no Batman The Animated Series, and no DCAU, and basically a less entertaining and awesome childhood.

0:35 "We've been ratted out boys - we've just spent 10 minutes cutting open a safe with zero locking mechanism"

This Scene Never Fails To Give Me Chills in My Spine!

I like the subtle detail that Jack Napier was already wearing the purple suit under the overcoat.

Michael Keaton's Batman Entrance is EPIC. Especially with Danny Elfman's score. Can't beat it.

0:48 penguins of Madagascar 😆

3:20 by far my favourite ever shot of batman from any film, he's like a ghost

Jack Nicholson Become The Joker

The soundtrack is iconic

4:49 - “Eckhardt! Think about the future!”

Nicholson is one laid back gangster, plays the role so well

Best Joker ever, can't change my mind!

I like how Egghart just wanders into the frame 'Yeah I betrayed you, but's it's fine. I'll just stand around a be a target.'

My dad took me to see this when I was 5, still my favorite Batman movie!!

Gordon's reaction to Batman tho.

I love how Batman just stands idly by while Joker murders Ekhardt.

Not sure if a lot of people realize that at 5:07 Batman deflected the bullet (faster then a speeding bullet or magnetized armored gloves?) and shards of glass ricocheted onto Jack Napier cheeks causing his Joker grin.

The actor who played Eckhardt also played porkins in "Star Wars episodes IV: A New Hope"

Classic Batman and the truest version to comic book. Noire-style. The music , Danny Elfman....epic feels This will always be my favorite along with Batman returns, MIcheller Pfiffer as Catwoman has NOT been done better IMO. The way he glides into the scene..........so iconic and smooth. chills. This bat-suit was just right before they started making everything look over the top military recon gear in the later films. Keaton has a vintage presence that just became Batman for me. His mouth and jaw fit that cowl and mask so well. His bat glare spoke loudly... his use of say nothing filled the scene. The vintage 30-40s look of this set and the way they all dressed was perfect man., A dark Gotham of 80 years ago. Tim Burton created a classic masterpiece.

THE SOUNDTRACK IS SO ICONIC

02:25 I wonder if the police just left without this guy LOL

So blessed and fortunate to have this as my first introduction to the Joker.

Man, this is 100% my favorite Batman movie. Keaton. Nicholson. Prince. Yeah.

2:16. I’ve done this same thing in the Arkham games at least a thousand times

Still a classic to this day. Hasn't aged a bit. One of the best superhero movies of all time.

tim burton version of gotham is so much more of the comics that everything else. it is like a living souleating creature in the night

Gotta love Bob. He coulda made his escape but he kept within range of Gordon until Jack could manage to escape, in the event he needed to hold him hostage.

3:55-4:05, gave me absolute chills Batman comes swooping in to save Gordon, along with that score, brilliant!! 💪🏾

"nice outfit" even while running from the cops he finds time to throw shade

Being born in 81 was a blessing for many reasons and me getting to see this gem in 89 was astonishing as a kid. Never will get tired of feeling the Nostalgia

What a film …why can’t modern movies be just a movie to enjoy and escapism. Please take note Warner bros movies are for enjoyment not politics

"He's at home, washing his tights" 🤣

To this day I still love watching the movie.

The police uniforms look so cool

“We’ve been ratted out here boys.”

Keaton is really the best Batman visually. No disrespect to Adam West or Bale.

Jack Nicholson being Joker, was the greatest phenomenon ever.

1:10 these guys get such a cool entrance, love it.

Jack nicholson, the best🤩

3:55 wow that glide

I don't watch this film as many times as others and every time I watch it, it just gets better and better.

MANY SHOTS FIXED kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7Kgl8xpvtjMf5c.html&lc=UgzK0T0WVQQs-9DTQGF4AaABAg Read description for download info.

4:55 great aiming skills.

Keaton’s Batman is the only live action one insane enough to believably wear a batsuit

Everything up to 0:17 Keyboard warriors when my personal group chats get leaked

Batman clearly tried to help Jack, but Jack's hands were slippery from all the blood and it is incredibly hard to lift someone with just one arm like that.

4:06 I like how everyone in the factory has a 6 shooter except for Bob with the modern 9mm type piece.

YOU DROPPED ME INTO THAT VAT OF CHEMICALS! THAT WAS A LITTLE HARD TO GET OVER! And don't think that I didn't try!

1:15 I always liked Gordon walking in like a boss with his men behind him.

Not since Burton has anyone filmed Batman the way he did. There really is no need for intricate detail or busy design on the suit. But you have to understand how crucial lighting and shadows are to really visually capture the character. The rendering here is "iconic" in the original sense of the word. There's no frills. It's absolutely "pure". And therefore timeless.

All Axis Chemicals interior sequences from this movie were filmed in the same complex as the fusion reactor from 1986’s “Aliens”! Batman even ends up in areas Ripley traversed while searching for Newt in the finale of the 1986 sci-fi/action blockbuster.

Fun fact 5:23 is when Batman subconsciously recognises Jack as his parents killer and shakes him off dropping him intentionally. This was only confirmed recently

What I love about Keaton’s Batman is that he liked to play with villains like they were his play toy. Bale’s Batman didn’t really do that.

This movie is amazing. There are others who could articulate it better, I'm sure but my go at it is...it just looks and feels like a Batman comic. Also, it doesnt take itself quite too serious. Just a fantastic movie. Fully entertaining from front to back. I bet seeing this at time of release was crazy. Way before super hero movies were a thing. This knocked it out of the park

What makes this great is the atmosphere; it fits in with the 40s very early 50s gangster films like white heat and German expressionist cinema with the studio filmed environment and old school musical score, but also significantly because it feels very, very Batman. Overall not too cartoony (note however some scenes have dated poorly e.g Prince and 80s martial arts bad guy), not too dark and bizarre (batman returns) but very much a translated comic from the era. Living in a time when films have too much action and spectacle sacrificing all else, notice on rewatching this film has a lot of scenes with just story development and acting not just setpieces like the Marvel films- and thats where this and TDK trilogy worked wonders. However the TDK trilogy began to stray too far from the source material in Rises which I believe is why there is still an even greater Batman Cycle to be told.

Still the best batman movie and still tops every other batman

3:46 The only police work we’ll see Commissioner Gordon do in the movie.

Keaton was masterful in his duel acting as Bruce Wayne and Batman; as the Caped Crusader in particular, Keaton had to convey everything through his eyes, half his exposed-face and body movements (alone). The last few seconds before he decided to drop Napier into the chemicals below was/is one such example of all that

Hate this release's color grading , but the movie itself is great and has been all those years. I love how they make a use of the cape and stealth, i enjoy batman being a mysterious freak, i love the music, the atmosphere, weirdness of the world, Gotham's look and design.
