Batman (1989) (4K Ultra HD)

Review: Rediscovering Batman 1989 - The Bat-Basics - Nearly twenty-five years later, I still listen to composer Danny Elfman's brooding orchestral score. It conjures up an image of actor Michael Keaton's Batman standing victorious atop a Gotham City skyscraper, as the new Bat-signal cuts through the night fog. As soundtracks typically do, I was recently inspired to re-watch 1989's No. 1 summer blockbuster. It is easy to see why it blew past a slew of routine sequels such as "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade;" "Ghostbusters II," "Lethal Weapon 2," "Licence to Kill," "Star Trek V," among other competition. It wasn't just the hype - sure, there was its mind-boggling marketing campaign (for its time) hawking every form of bat-merchandise imaginable (today, that's the norm). What really stoked moviegoers, I think, was its sheer originality - like lightning in a bottle that even its own three sequels couldn't re-capture. The movie's trademark, for better or worse, is Jack Nicholson's wily over-acting as the nefarious mobster Jack Napier turned macabre super-villain, the Joker. Although Nicholson was frankly far too old to be a legitimate physical threat to Batman, his sheer flamboyance overcomes this flaw. I still believe either Willem Dafoe or Ray Liotta (who was screenwriter Sam Hamm's preference) would have been just as effective in the role if the movie hadn't been designed as a Nicholson showcase. Even so, courtesy of a few well-designed flashbacks, director Tim Burton and screenwriter Sam Hamm cleverly side-step Batman's well-known origin by instead providing a mystery so viewers can deduce why a reclusive, strangely distracted billionaire has assumed a caped alter ego. The film opts not to show how Bruce Wayne becomes Batman since the psychological "why Bruce Wayne is Batman" factor proves far more interesting. Make no mistake: actor Michael Keaton doesn't look like Bruce Wayne, but, in this movie, he is Bruce Wayne ... a disturbed Bruce Wayne who walks, trance-like, through a hail of gunfire upon recognizing a face he once saw long ago. He is then left to ponder the Joker's favorite taunt to his doomed prey: "Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?" Not surprisingly, the Joker's dance with a captive Vicky Vale (Kim Basinger) plays against the backdrop of a pale moon on a dark Gotham night setting up a final showdown between two comic book legends. Late production designer Anton Furst's dark art deco, 1940's vision of Gotham City brilliantly resurrects film noir. Impressively, even though "Batman" was filmed almost entirely on British soundstages, Furst's sets are amazing enough to make a viewer almost believe that Gotham City really does exist. There is no mistaking that, based upon the villains' retro wardrobe alone, that this Gotham City is supposed to be reminiscent of Prohibition-era Chicago (think "Batman Meets the Untouchables"). Wisely, the stellar "Batman: The Animated Series" subsequently lifted Furst's distinctive style giving Batman a new sense of visual continuity, as Gotham City appears as the dark, corrupt cesspool of a modern city it is supposed to be. If one can swallow a middle-aged Nicholson as the Joker and Keaton's quietly neurotic Bruce Wayne / Batman, then everything else about this movie falls into place. Yes, Kim Basinger's glamorous Vicky Vale is a Lois Lane wanna-be and a helpless damsel-in-distress where she must be startled at every turn (not remotely believable for a war zone-savvy photo-journalist). Still, Basinger's charismatic presence nicely balances the lead actors. My only criticism comes from the Joker's less-than-satisfying yet unique fate (one is left incredulously thinking: "That's the best they could do?"). It is similar to the predicament that "Star Trek Generations" had in 1994 with William Shatner's iconic Captain Kirk: there were countless better solutions available than the one filmed for the theatrical release. Please also note that not all the acting honors belong solely to Nicholson and Keaton. They receive ample support from the late Michael Gough (as Alfred); the late Pat Hingle (as Commissioner Gordon); and even Robert Wuhl's new character, wisecracking reporter Alexander Knox. Knox isn't necessary to the story, but Wuhl has solid chemistry with Basinger. Deleting Knox in favor of making wimpy Vicky Vale far stronger, as in closer to Selina "Catwoman" Kyle's equal, would have likely would have increased the movie's mass appeal for female viewers. As for the special effects, they mostly hold up well, particularly the awe-inspiring Batmobile and a surprisingly realistic rubber Batsuit. Even though the Batplane model's aerial shots look terribly fake today, it is pretty clear that all the FX money spent on this fifty-million dollar mega-production appears on-screen. Finally, with its original interpretation of the title character vs. one villain fighting for the soul of Gotham City, "Batman" 1989 is simply far superior to its three sequels that imitated but could not duplicate the first movie's success. Overall: 9/10 stars. Despite its weaknesses, this "Batman" is well worth repeat viewings. The DVD extras (including multiple documentaries and three Prince music videos) are superb, but I might add that the Prince videos are not appropriate for young viewers.
Review: The Godfather of big budget Superhero Films - A lot of people say the Richard Donner/Christopher Reeve Superman film started off big budget Superhero films but if they started it the 1987 disaster that was Superman IV: The Quest for Peace almost killed it. THIS FILM in my opinion is what started off the modern Superhero era. The film holds a soft spot in my heart because I still remember seeing it in theaters when I was 6 years old. This is also the first time Batman is portrayed in a major motion picture without the campiness and cornball humor of the Adam West Batman. This movie is responsible for helping the mainstream public learn that Batman is far from a joke and is one of the greatest badasses in American Pop Culture. Jack Nicholson is amazing as the Joker and I'm sure everyone knows that but Michael Keaton really is great as Bruce Wayne/Batman. I know a lot of people complained because he didn't physically look the part but his performance is perfect. He's also the first person to speak with a slightly altered voice when wearing the Bat suit, even though a lot of people will try to claim Kevin Conroy who voices Batman in the awesome animated series did it first they are wrong. This film came out in 1989 and the Animated Series came out in 92. Keaton did it first. The Batmobile in this film is arguably the most badass version of the Batmobile you'll find in any form of Batman media whether its other films, comics or cartoons. This film greatly inspired the 1992 Animated Series with it's design and you can clearly see that. This is also BY FAR the best of the Burton/Schumacher Batman films. After this one they got progressively worse to the point that Batman & Robin is damn near unwatchable. Is this the greatest Batman film of all time? No way. Is this better than Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy? Not at all. Is this a fun, entertaining and exciting action/superhero film? ABSOLUTELY. The soundtrack is a bit dated and total 80's with Prince songs but I honestly think it helps add to the charm of the movie. The Danny Elfman score is ICONIC and right up there with John Williams Superman, Star Wars and Indiana Jones themes. It's shocking and mind boggling why they changed his score for Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. The only SLIGHT negative I'll say about this film is that THIS particular version of Batman kills without remorse. If you can take that with a grain of salt then you'll have no problem enjoying this film for what it is. A fun, entertaining action adventure film that helped usher in all of the modern Superhero films that fill movie theaters to this day.
