My favorite part of my billionth viewing of Batman: When Joker’s goons shoot Batman, rather than lift up his mask to see who he is, they decide to check if the man disguised as a giant bat carries photo ID. Bob the Goon literally says “Check his wallet.” Check his wallet!…

Wasn't sure why Jack Nicholson got top billing in this movie until I watched it and realized Joker was the main character
James (Schaffrillas)Jan 6, 2019I just want to talk to Michael Keaton about his decision to play Bruce Wayne as an alien completely baffled by ordinary human behavior.

Chase Whelna likedBatmanGood movie to bring Batman back to the big screen. I’m a big fan of Jack Nicholson as the Joker. My only real complaint is the movie does feel a little stretched out. Other than that very good.
Rachel Pierce lovedBatmanMichael Keaton, and jack Nicholson are the GOATs in Batman, 89
Ajinth Sivapalan is "meh" onBatmanThis was a good movie. Keaton and Nicholson were boss. But the batsuit looks horrible and Keaton can't do the voice. If Keaton had nowadays tech those issues would be fixed. But you can't unkill the dead. Batman never kills.

Keaton and Nicholson deliver unmatched performances

i absolutely love jack nicholson's performance as the joker and all of the theatrical flair brought to the character i don’t think they 100% nailed his personification or rivalry with batman but it’s a really fun movie nonetheless
Stutter with the Fedora lovedBatmanBatman is a gothic and very Burton take on the popular character that started the Batman craze. This classic is both dark and goofy with a fun sense of humor and two great lead performances by Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson.
Cyclical likedBatmanWhile there are definitely iterations of Batman I prefer at this point, it’s awesome seeing so many iconic things on the big screen for what was the first time. The soundtrack is amazing

Best super hero movie. Hands Down! Some elements have not aged well but the acting/look/spirit of the film is way beyond modern films of the same genre.

Metacritic
The movie's problem is that no one seemed to have any fun making it, and it's hard to have much fun watching it. It's a depressing experience.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
It would be a lot better if it didn't lean exclusively on bone-crunching action for its climactic thrills, and the story continues long after its ideas have started to sag. [29 June 1989, Arts, p.10]
