Batman (1989) – The story is average, the action adequate, the
score fantastic, and the style exceptional; for my money, Michael Keaton is the
best Bruce Wayne (even if it’s an unusual take on the character) and quite a fine Batman (even if he does kill a few guys 1940-style); the movie is eighties in a way that
hasn’t held up well (e.g., Prince), but with its excellent amalgamation of
expressionist, art deco, noir, and pulp style elements, it also feels timeless;
I’d forgotten just how much this film influenced the animated series. 7
