This movie is great. It's old and you might think badly of it but it's great; there are no things that I can say that are bad. Michael Keaton is incredible as Batman. Peak movie.

There are a few good moments that were interesting, but the rest of this movie is pretty inconsistent and pointless. I like this take on the Joker, though. He is funnier than the others and has a more clear origin story and goal.

This was really groundbreaking for it's time, but after the Christopher Nolan movies, this movie became worthless. This movie doesn't say anything when compared to other Batman movies. The one in the '60s is goofy, the one in the '90s was funny-bad, the ones in the 2000s were Oscar-worthy, and the new one was dark and shocking. This one is just the one with Michael Keaton. I guess this one's score stands out. It is not only the best score for any Batman movie, but it is the best score for any superhero movie ever. It is in my top ten, score wise. Aside from that, this movie is kind of eh. I liked Tim Burton's direction, Jack Nicholson's peformance, the iconic stuff, and the action. This movie is super boring for a lot of its runtime. The dialogue is poorly written and puts me to sleep. This version of Batman is incredibly boring. He doesn't have any depth, he is extremely cartoonish and predictable. His costume is poorly designed as well. They designed the costume in a way where the top of it is a giant frame, so his movements are extremely stiff. He honestly looked like Darth Vader whenever he moved. It is extremely forgettable outside of the occasional iconic scene. There are so many characters that get sidelined and the characters that do get attention are booooooring. I literally only remember Batman and the Joker. The pacing also sucks. Point is, this movie is very mid and boring. Watch this if you want to take a big fat nap or something, idk.

While the film may be old it still holds up with Joker being a good cross between sinister and funny and Batman being the strong silent protector of Gotham city.
