Review by Wolfram Parge on 26th April 2002

“Tell me, boy, you ever dance with the devil by the pale moonlight?”
Who never read super-hero comics as a kid? Bob Kane’s creation broke all boundaries of adult rationale and painted a new and curious picture of urban science-fiction. The story? Haunted by the brutal and senseless death of his parents as a young child, Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton) leads a dual existence as a billionare playboy by day, but at night slips into the role of Batman, Caped Crusader and fearless protector of Gotham City, armed with a stunning array of high-tech gadgets and the Batmobile. Jack Nicholson is totally brilliant as the lunatic Joker, bent on ruling the city, destroying Batman, wooing Wayne’s girlfriend Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger) and putting a smile on everyone’s face. Even Jerry Hall gets a facial reconstruction, all courtesy of Joker, Inc. The climax atop the belltower of Gotham’s huge Cathedral is justly famous, and the chilling laughter which accompanies the Joker’s face embedded in concrete combine in this colourful spectacle of comic book mayhem, making Batman an incredibly creative film
