In my opinion this film did everything right, took elements of both the original Detective series, and Millers work and blended them into a great film.
Gotham looked "right". The Joker had a suitably dastardly madman plan going on, the origin story was there, the rivalry...the coolest car, best suit/equipment if you ask me.
While not as deliberately dark as Nolans work, it captured the Batman universe that I know and love.
Good atmosphere, Keaton and Nicholson were solid, and the musical score fit the overally tone really well.
I mean it's too bad that the three to follow, even including to am extent Burtons second Bat-film, were pretty much downhill from here.
But yeah, enjoyable film to revisit.

Agreed, I love the Batman movie from 89. Everything seemed to just fit perfectly.

This probably could have been a pretty kick ass movie had it been shortened down by cutting out about 45 mins of filler imo. 2/5

Not exactly what I was expecting but not too terrible. If you wanna watch something kinda different this is one to check out. 3/5
