Kills a room filled with over a dozen people, comes in starts dancing to Prince music and vandalizing all the art in the room.
This is the Joker.
Exactly!!
I know isn't he beautiful?
@@abramsullivan7764 Gorgeous. 🃏 🃏 🃏 💵
Yep: insane, illogical, murderous, chaotic, and funny.
I don’t think he killed them he just knocked them out unless it was the joker stuff that made all of them look like him
I love how instead of being angry he's just jealous of Batman's arsenal.
Someone get those wonderful toys! 😂
I am a bit jealous too. How does he have a tank, a helicopter, a jet, all these "wonderful toys" and all I have is a boot with a blade in it?!
@@TheJoker-qz1ho I'm gonna let you in on a little secret . . . He's Bruce Wayne. That's how he can afford it. Dont tell anyone!
@@TheJoker-qz1ho guess you'll have to rob another mobster Bank ;) how about the yakuza? they got lots of money
@@liandre9035 Y'all quoting Lego Batman Movie? Never seen it but sounds like something they would say.
I can't get over how hilarious the Joker's "I'm melting" prank was. It's almost as if he did it just to say " what did you hope to accomplish by throwing water at me?"
What did you think it was holy water and I was a zombie?
That exactly why he did it.
For some reason that used to scare me when I was a kid.
And she actually awkwardly tries to comfort him despite knowing he is threatening her and killed a museum of people
@@IncredibleFulk1 ok I thought I was the only one he would scare me regardless on this movie. It was the makeup for me lol
The way Joker shift from being goofy to intimidating is masterful
nothing masterful about this movie lol
HE´S THE BEST JOKER
@@Taltinus Any proof?
That's how it is in the comics
I think this is how Joker should be: terrifying, but genuinely funny at times.
I'm curious if the Reeves-Joker will be capable eliciting laughs from audiences.
Jack Nicholson will always be a legend
Yeah
His portrayal of the Joker was so hilarious.
Agree
All jokers are great, news ones are dark. This one is the joke Master. Outstanding performance Mr Nicholson
i agree and he is the best actor to play as joker...
I love how Jokers gang genuinely look like they're enjoying themselves. He must be a fun boss.
Before he kills you, I mean.
Yep, his men get •paid holidays, •flexible work hours and •decent pay. That is, before he wastes them 🥶
arkham knight actually covers this. a ton of former joker henchmen are complaining about their new bosses being so dark and serious.
Before Batman sends them to hel-
@@TheSameGoobyGuy I was gonna correct you then I remember which Batman this was
As long as you tell him that Batman has one of those things
6:30 - me, seeing it as a kid: 'Such a cool scene'. Me, seeing it 25 years later: 'Such a cool scene!'
The line he's attached to when he falls in kills it for me, otherwise pretty cool.
With you all the way bro
I will never forget that line so masterfully delivered by Jack "do i look like i'm joking"
That and "Wait till they get a load of me"
Vicki's reaction to that line makes it even more hilarious lol
His whole face is a joke! 😂
I love how Joker has a goon to just walk around with a boom box for his own soundtrack. This kind of stuff needs to be in modern adaptations of the joker
@𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓵𝓮𝔂 𝓺𝓾𝓮𝓮𝓷 wolverines?
That type of stuff is still in the comics
@@alchemistofsteel8099 Back when DCEU movies were actually entertaining. Although in Marvel the Green Goblin or Loki wouldn't be this fun.
Yes. We need to bring escapism back to movies.
Lawrence
The best thing about the Joker, is that even out of context this makes sense.
Thats BS and u know it!
No like an homosexual clown
I'm pretty sure joker is straight but he would still be the best gd joker in the world if he wern't
@@godzillasimpson8357 lol can we be sure i mean just look at the way he looks at batman
czcams.com/video/vNSDu7AIn5o/video.html
Jack Nicholson played the Joker so well it's almost as if he literally went insane.
He did star in the shining
He did star in "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest". If you haven't watched it I suggest you do.
@@fortunateson2 Thanks!!! I'll have to check that one out. 👍
HE´S THE BEST JOKER
Jack was always crazy😂
Seeing Jack Nicholson fully embrace being a goofy cornball going up to Vicki is one of the best parts in a movie filled with best parts.
😂
1989: do i look like a joker?
2008: do i look like a guy with a plan?
2019: do i look like a clown that can start a movement?
I love the Jokers
조커 왜 말이 점점 더 많아지는거 같지ㅋㅋ
Yes yes and yes
I like how you left out Jared Leto. Cheers mate!
Charith Shivaji do I look like a clown with an obsession with cats?
funny line nobody notices 3:56 "I was in the bath one day when I realized I was destined for greatness" as in his chemical bath at the beginning of the movie
Oh man i never thought of that!
No i literally think its more humorous like him literally in the bath sipping champagne or something or that cliche thing of how we always think while were in the shower or whatever...like its just a crazy thing to say lol i was in the bath and realized i was destined for greatness lol thats 100% dry humour
Never noticed that!
@@CSM-101-VADER But he is probably saying about his chemical bath.
@@spiderman4538 sure but i always took it as some dry humour rather than a factual statement...just always thought it was funnier....sitting in the bath shower cap on sipping champagne blah blah...it fits
Batman 89 is a classic.
Best Batman movie
The definitive Batman in my opinion.
@@mikeytee6821 no
@@spunkymaniac9312 'no' what? I said IN MY OPINION. So...are you telling me that I can't have an opinion?
@@spunkymaniac9312 yes
I love Nicholson's Joker. He's sinister with a wicked sense of humor.
"Well she's just a sketch really." 😄
Those Batman glass ceiling entrances are always superb even back in 1989
Came just for that entrance. It was epic!
Of course you can see the cable. He drops down on a cable.
That was the greatest entrance I’ve ever seen. Val Kilmer made a similiar one in Batman Forever.
@@craig3773 the cable being visible was deliberate. How else could he fall that slowly? His cape, in the movie, didn’t allow him to glide. Without the cable he’d have to hit the ground hard and roll; he couldn’t see what was below him what with the glass being opaque.
@@lgrace3874 That works as we see him using cables to traverse vertical obstacles several times. Sadly, this particular cable seems to be a mistake, as in the very next shot when he is standing next to Vicky, it is nowhere to be seen.
"Where does he get those wonderful toys?" Great line!
From Lucius Fox of course.
There's a Billy Joel concert where Elton Jones walks on stage for a duet and he's wearing a Godzilla mask (Billy Joel didn't know about the Godzilla mask beforehand). And all that he canmanage to say is "Where does he get these fabulous toys??" It's hilarious.
Exactly.
It was a perfect line for the Batman toy commercials too!
In the words of Lego joker:" where does he get these unbreakable toys!?!"
Love how business minded Bob was writing down what Joker was knocking down and destroying for tax purposes lol 😂
Joker may be evil, but at least he’s still kind enough to pay the taxes. 😂
@@sonicfan9144”I’m crazy enough to take on Batman. But the IRS? Nooooo thank you!!!”
2:08: One of several examples of the onscreen action syncing *perfectly* to the music. Masterful editing.
Yeah, until you notice that in the very next shot, all those hand prints are gone again. =p
There's a ton of editing continuity errors in that corner with those two paintings.
“Gentlemen, let’s broaden our minds... Lawrence!” Best line in the movie 😂👍🏻
And when Vicky says, “You’re insane”. And Joker replies “and I thought I was a Pisces...” 😂
especially after killing everyone in the room!
"Terrence, brush."
@@Tiberius_Productions what’s a Pisces?
@@allysanchez7275 Birth star sign. Pisces the fish.
When I was younger, I focused a lot more on the humor (subtle and otherwise), but re-watching these scenes - wow, I didn't realize in 1989 how dark this all was. Behind the charm and playfulness of this Joker is a cold-blooded killer and a sociopath.
I know, Isn't he great.
That’s what I love about Nicholson’s Joker. On the surface he seems fun and goofy, but everything he does is so sadistic.
He’s insane
Nuff said!!
Jalen Johnson that’s why I think this joker portrayal (no insults to Ledger, Leto, Phoenix) is the best because it has actual comedic laughs and jokes that make the audience giggle/laugh, which all other on screen joker portrayals have missed. But he is still a deranged, cold blooded killer who cares about no one except himself. Plus when you consider the body count between murdering everyone in this museum, the poisoned cosmetics and the hundreds of people at the parade, he still to this day one of the, if not the, most deadly (body count) comic book villain movie adaptations.
The most comic accurate Joker ever put on film
HE´S THE BEST JOKER
@@yamatotakeru9078 No he’s not
@@jacknickels6231 It is subjective.
Not even close, thanks for playing.
Outside of Mark Hamill, yeah.
One of the best Batman films
He was literally having the time of his life playing Joker and making a cool *6 million doing it lol 😂👍🏼Props to Nicholson for winning life, every laugh he lets out in this movie is genuine glee
This movie made 10 times it's been budget
You mean 6 million... Still a lot but not 60 lol
at the time jack was demanding 10 million per movie, however he took a lower overall fee of 6 million in exchange for a percentage of the movies profits and a portion of the merchandise sales. movie made 411 million at the box office (in 1989 dollars, about 847 million in 2020 money) he ended up grossing between 50 and 60 million.
i can definitely play joker if i get $60 million.
47midnight technically the movie is continuing to make profits. i wonder what’s the contract.
I love how joker's men are always smiling and actually look like they're enjoying working for the joker while other jokers have their henchmen work for him out of fear.
And I love how joker has a guy who's one job is to follow him around with a boom box, if you pay attention he made more than one appearance.
He’s the guy who tries to jump on Batman, but falls through the floor.
@@bramijdema759 that part always made me laugh 😂😂😂😂😂
@@art_the_king02 Rofl :D
That’s true but Joker also killed his most loyal henchmen, Bob the Goon for no reason.
@@decimater97 all because Batman stole his balloons
To let Prince 🎸 do the entire movie 🍿 sound track was brilliant
It was correct to put it when the joker and his gang entered the museum and begin dancing.
Jack was clearly having lots of fun playing the Joker. What a legend!
Jack: “I kinda like this one Bob. Leave it.”
Me: That’s such a Joker thing to do. 🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: That is Nicholson's favourite painting, that's why they decided to leave it be
Francis Bacon, I do believe.
Probably my favorite part of this scene
@@codybartel2728 yes
@@codybartel2728 France is Bacon
Out of all the Joker that has ever been introduced to the Batman franchise, Jack Nicholson's is my favourite out of them all. He has a character, he is enthusiastic, entertaining, unique yet he plays well being intimidating & dangerous.
Honestly I feel the same way about M Keatons Bruce Wayne. So much more nuance to the character.
I love the Nolan movies but Bale’s Wayne is more like revisiting Patrick Bateman at his most sane moments. Keaton put a depth to the character I don’t think has been matched since.
The whole movie is just spectacular.
@@RustinChole I think because Nolan has taken these comic books far too seriously, and it’s lost it’s charm. They’ve become oh so serious violent ‘epics’, which inspired a mass shooting at a movie theatre, and the the actor who played Joker killed himself. I think it’s a reflection of our times, where we must take comic book heroes so seriously, probably because Hollywood has run out of creative ideas. Tim Burton is one of America’s great creative directors, and Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson and Kim Bassinger play their roles so perfectly. Tim Burton’s Batmans are gothic, charming, funny, goofy, terrifying, creative, beautifully shot, and perfectly cast. He was the perfect director for Batman
@@alex6677 that is a myth. The shooting was not inspired by the Joker or the Nolan movies. The claim was not by the shooter but by an early claim by a police chief. The guy died his hair red because it was the color of blood- nothing to do with the Joker.
@Not Another Minute And Jack’s joker is much closer to comic book joker. Same with the joker in the Animated Series. Though that is no fault of heath’s.
@@MrChickennugget360 EXACTLY. AMEN.
I don't know what I loved more, the scene where Jack is impersonating the statue of the woman ice skating on one leg or when he responds to Alicia, "Ohhh I'm in trouble now"!!!😂🤣
2:15 😂😂😂😂
The original can never be replaced. Nothing has come close to this jack is the joker
I am sorry but the original joker actor would be Cesar Julio Romero, Jr., the actor for the joker in the 1960s series.
I love that Prince’s music is something that’s actually *IN* the movie, playing on Joker’s boom box.
Fun fact: originally Michael Jackson was supposed to make Batman's theme until Danny Elfman took ever (that's real)
Which means the Joker and his henchmen would have made a conscious decision that they want to play “Partyman” by Prince while they trash the museum
Diegetic music
@@jimmybuckets5863I mean, it IS in character for the Clown Prince of Crime!
Well Prince did the soundtrack
To be fair this Batman film has the charm of the 60s series and the spookiness of the 90s.
Yes of course,you said what i can,t word in english for a half hour
Actually. Sorry to correct you but, this was released in 1989. Batman Returns released 1992
@@benmunn7593 Close enough. Just a year’s difference.
Wait a minute. My bad. I thought I read that that movie isn't bad for a Batman movie that released between the 60's to 90's. Sorry
NO IT DOSEN'T! THIS MOVIE WAS MEANT TO BE DARKER IDIOT
After he said 'boo' he gave us the best joker laugh ever.
I miss when superhero movies weren’t full of constant explosions. They’re so serious now. Bring this back.
Um... Is someone gonna tell him?
Wait wait Batman (1989), and Batman Return (1992) were both serious even The Crow (1993) is also serious
TRUTH
hey, by the way, you look like vicky vale
But anytime there are lighthearted movies people complain
That lighter is amazing
True, would expect Elon to make that
Sort of like Jerry Lewis'....
Been looking for that lighter for years....no luck

@@realericthorne ha ha ha!😂 me too. If I ever bump into Mr Nicholson I'll ask him 😉.
Only Jack Nicholson could pull off such a scene as this.
ill speedylaunch I don’t know if he could have had Jack’s menace.
@@jackthomas6952 He was pretty menacing as The Mask
Not even scars could pull this off
Can you imagine if they did a female Joker and it was played by Emma Thompson.
@@jgprice9990 there are a few female jokers: there are his daughters, Dee Dee in the future and, of course, Harleen Quinzelle.
I remember watching this as a kid and loving this scene and Nicholson's portrayal of the Joker. Him leaving the Francis Bacon painting undamaged is a nice touch, I realise now this scene subconsciously led to my love for Bacon's work!
Composer Danny Elfman is a fan of him too!
Can we just admire Elfman’s score for a moment? I mean, it’s pretty much perfect…
Danny Elfman knows how to capture the essence of the world. Especially for a world in Burton’s vision. He’s done so well with helping out in films like “Edward Scissorhands” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”.
"A little song, a little dance, Batman's head on a lance."

That's the song!
Everyone in existence already knew this...
Small indie artist you've probably never heard of, Prince.
6:12- 6:23 I like how Vicky actually felt empathy for Joker even though he released a dangerous and toxic gas that killed everyone here (except her) And tried to spray acid on her
Love the guy dancing around with a table centerpiece and a bottle of champagne. 🤣
I love how after splashing him with water and hearing him scream in "pain", Vicki gets confused and makes a lame attempt to comfort him!
I took it as an homage to Wizard of Oz.
“Boo! HahaHAhahaha!”
I’m melting, I’m melting! Oh Gad!!!
She falls for that the look on her face feeling sad then screams
Goons in other movies: get treated like trash and mean nothing
Goons in this movie: have fun and are enjoyable to watch
Jokers henchmen were really cool. The uniforms, behavior everything.
You get the feeling that this is the most fun they've had in a while, and that's why they're so loyal to Joker.
Until he has a bad day and shoots his main goon.

He was the quintessential joker: both funny and psychotic
He's way better than Ledger in my opinion.
He is the best joker no joke. Lol
Ledger was too overconfident in his performance. He sounded like he had a vocal disease
@@georgecampbell9638 hey I never said anything about his voice. Thats not nice. Its just mean, miserable, and shabby if im honest. Whats that got to do with it. He completely nailed each mannerism, right down to the iconic laugh. Its down to opinion and angles but what you said was just low
@@positivelyMaisy it’s just my opinion. Nicholson’s joker is my favourite
Jack Nicholson retired, he was in a lot of wonderful movies
I swear this scene is just so fun to watch and also I love when Vickie calls him insane he just says thought I was a pisces
I never got why film critics said Prince’s music didn’t work in this movie when it made every Joker scene better & when the music still holds up well over 3 decades later.
I agree. This scene is a great example. It works amazingly.
Old white men hating on black culture.
Because they didn't get it.
Could have sworn it was the song “celebration time”
Idk. Something about overly digital drums and a flamboyant guy singing doesn’t work for a bunch of badass dudes destroying art pieces.
This movie has the best music out of all the Batman movies
Anyone know what song is playing when he hits play on the “blaster?”
“Partyman by Prince”?
Cátia Lewis The other song; found it: Percy Faith - Theme From A Summer Place. Love that classic.
Natasha Sharma Oh ok
Because it was all Prince. Naturally it was going to be fabulous.
Something I love about this joker is how the movie shows that he was already a maniac before he fell into a vat of acid, that aspect of him is what pushed him further over the edge, I always find this take on the character the most interesting while making him intimidate with his sense of gruesome humor, and the genuine threat he holds, much like heath ledger would do down the line
3:41 I don't know if it's art, but I like it! - the Joker 🃏
As I become more and more of an art relativist , this quote resonates with me more and more 😂
Love how Jokers not even mad and genuinely impressed by Batman's gadgets XD
"Where does he get those wonderful toys?" :]
@@thebedlamboy2248 I'm sure any man out there Batman fan or not would love to have at least one of those toys 🤣

Joker , Coringa o palhaço
Hey... I remember you! I told you happy birthday!
A.T.V thank you 🙏
I’m actually kinda sad that Jack is 83 now because he nearly gonna die soon
Sneaks2006 wow
"You're insane."
"Thought I was a Pisces."
Laughed the first time I heard that.
"I am the world's first fully functioning homicidal artist."
I was today years old when I realized that's what he said...and I've been watching this movie since the early 90s.
Jack Nicholson was perfect for the joker 🃏 he really own it 👏.
He was born for the part.
@Versatile Wolf why
I agree with you he nailed this big time..
What about cesar romero
Yup he did great
This is everything modern Batman movies lack….dark but comedic. Of course, hard to compete with Jack and Keaton now and days.
And the lack a sense of style ugh add Prince to the mix and the movie iconic with a capital purple I
i know a lot of folks have their issues with burton's directing but this combo of Keaton/Nicholson and this flick worked ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUSLY. it is my favorite.
Nowadays
Art reflects the times. Artists often write in parallels to their worldview, and our world is not something that is shining vibrantly. The most recent Joker movie, touched heavily on a lot of current issues that are plaguing our society today. THere's no humor anymore, the only humor that remains is the irony that we find within our misery, and the complete absurdity of positions that we find ourselves wrapped up in as a species.
@@themonado5030 do you have nothing better to do than be a grammer n@zi online? lol
The reaction of Joker covering his face after the water and then uncovers his face at her is priceless! Jack the greatest Joker!
This is my clown prince of crime 🤣🤣
Yes indeed, that was amazing acting there.
No joke. Batman 1989 is my favorite movie of all time. It was one of the first movies I ever saw and stuck with me since I was 4. It's just the right length, it's paced well, the action scenes are great and it leaves me feeling satisfied every time I see it. Not to mention Nicholson's portrayal of the Joker is my favorite and (in my opinion) the most faithful depiction of the character in film.
Batman crashing through that skylight made my entire childhood
Dr. Steve Brule? What are you doing here? Don't you have a program to host?
Batman's just some hunk anyway, who cares. Hunks are bad listeners.
It's an iconic scene.
And the music? Mind-blowing
Hi Dr. Brule, I love your show!
What Nicholson did at 5:47 still gets me, even though I’ve spent 15 years watching it on VHS
LtScarecrow87 lol
Man Jack looks like he surely enjoyed playing that part.
Joker’s flamethrower lighter he used to light the candles with is pretty cool.
I will never forget this movie!
One of the best childhood memories I'll ever have.
Me too!
I still watch it its the only batman I enjoy
Yeah me too, was 6 years old, had the bat mobile, the bat wing, the game on the sinclair zx, great days
sad
Tim Burton’s Batmans will always be the best. The artistry, character development and darkness of Gotham are unbeatable in his films !
and they're incredible action films
@@scienz I have to disagree, I think they are perfect in every way but the action.
while also still being remarkably goofy
I agree. Love Nolan’s and the new movie but this and Batman Returns are untouchable and the standard
One of the best Jack Nicolson's roles,which deserved at leasr 1award,its oscar possible why not.Jack,s joker is more frantic,more mad than Ledger,s one and at the same time more fun,more humor.His phazes can be written in textbook and used in everyday life just to be wise and fun
This is the only clip I've seen of Jack Nicholson's Joker and he's already my favorite. I need to watch this movie.
Jack Nicholson is the best Joker I wish people didn’t have to get old 😔
2:09 What I like about it is that him slapping the painting seems to oddly fit with Prince's singing.
"Do l look like im joking" is the best line in the film. Its both absolutely hilarious and terrifying at the same time. hahaha
Vicky: What do you want?
Joker: My face on the one dollar bill.
Vicky: You must be joking.
Joker: Does it look like I'm joking?
Best funniest line ever! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jack killed this! How lucky we are to see all these great interpretations of an iconic character like the joker in one lifetime.
I totally agree :)
Jack, Heath, Jared, Joaquin...
That line at the end "Where does he get those wonderful toys?" has stood out to me since me and my wife saw this in the Northgate 1&2 Theater outside Northgate Mall in Chattanooga in 1989. Ive never forgotten it. I remember the movie not being what I thought it might be totally but it was awesome.
One of the first movies I remember watching a ton on VHS as a kid. The choreography of the vandalism was the most memorable part.
Can we just appreciate how the guy with the candles seems to be having the time of his life.
It's one of my favorite scenes because they all look like their having fun with it
I love the line, "I make art until someone dies".
Batman dropping in through the window, with that music and angle. Gave me goosebumps from when I first saw this as a kid, and still now. This movie holds a big spot in my heart.
Me too almost everything about it
Batman crashing through a skylight will never not be cool.
@@jalenjohnson1662 Amen to that!
ME TOO 😁❗
Same here!
1:48 I mean joker actually did a nice job on graffitiing that painting, adding his signature on the clean wall of the subway really makes this art Gotham style. This really set the difference between the joker and his goons since one is modifying a classic artwork into his ideal and the others just destruction.
3:07 Dr Robotnik holding the Radio for the Joker
I see what you mean
I remember seeing this in the theater back in 89 when I was 7 and the audience going crazy when Batman crashed through the ceiling
Tiny detail, but I really like how he spares the Bacon piece because he "kinda likes it" (at 2:49). Captures his Joker pretty well, his violence and shock as a form of art, much like how Francis Bacon painted.
I just get to know about this artist recently, it feels really amazing to see his painting here!
Burton was a big fan of Bacon.
2:45
As much as I enjoy the newer interpretations of Batman. The 1989 Batman is my all time favorite hands down! 😎
Somehow, I'm more disturbed when Joker has a "normal" face than his clown paint face. I think it's just his smile is literally attached to his face that makes it disturbing.
mikesitzler1106 exactly
Better than ledgers scars I know it's ambiguous to how he got them but in Jacks case it's more ironic
Yeah lol. I think the perma-grin was used to make him look more like the comic books
@mikesitzler1106 That's skin makeup he has on his face. His white makeup is permanently stuck on his face without being able to wash off. Vicky Vale washed the skin makeup off his face when she splashed the pitcher of water on his face.
@Marcus Graham I'm sure if that white makeup was able to wash off, he would have washed it off. But that smile is also permanently stuck on his face whether his white makeup is shown or not.
5:44 😂😂😂 his expression of a bat always makes me laugh
Same
Me too
what about his impression of a rat in The Departed?
Gotham Museum's Work of Art Security System was so advanced that the handpaint job applied at 2:05 was instantly removed at 2:10
“I am the world’s first fully functioning homicidal artist” that was definitely the Joker.
This movie should never be underestimated. If you've grown up with marvel movies etc you'd be surprised at what a huge risk a batman movie was perceived to be! Up to 89 if you said Batman, sure us comic book nerds where deep in dark storylines like Death in the family or books like killing joke etc, but on screen..? Yea you thought Adam West.. Kapow (no bad thing, I still love it) but the public would just see Lycra and "camp". Burton had a job to do.. A BIG job. And he nailed it. Nicholson is having a BALL in this film and his joker was VERY similar in story and tone to the comics of the time. Keaton had a lot to prove with negativity in the press. That he just wasn't Batman... And look how he nails it from his first scene.. But for me the most important point Burton gets right is in a character that most of the other movies forget to include... GOTHAM.. This is the Gotham of the comics.. Stylish.. Noir... German expressionism.. And fxxxing dark.. For me that was missed by the post Burton Bat movies. For me Batman works in HIS environment not just some random generic city. Anywho the battle for the best joker will go on and on thankfully.. And I'm sure he'd like that cos like in the comics... he contains multitudes
I hope the new reboot proves to do just that, again.
I was born the year this came out. I was obsessed with Batman from the time I was like four years old. Watched The Animated Series like every day. After getting into comics and reading the books Killing Joke and The Dark Knight Returns, Year One, etc... I always though this movie was just that- perfect atmosphere and totally nails the Gotham of the comics. I’ve always thought Keaton was the best Batman, hands down.
there's never been another one like it. there never will be.
I saw this movie in theaters 4 times when i was 7 and it got me into Batman as i was more into Superman and Swamp Thing before this and i started to read the comics and watched/taped the 60's show back in 89/90 even rented the 1966 movie and i saw Returns 3 times in theaters at age 10 and watched/taped Batman TAS on Fox/WB as a kid and teen
Michael Keaton was an odd choice until he turned out to be the greatest Batman ever. People expected a Christian Bale look not Beetlejuice. A century from now I think 1989 Batman will be considered the superior film. Bale's is already a distant memory.
Batman crashing thru the ceiling is iconic
The BEST Batman entrance! The best departure..? At the warehouse..! 😃
I love the look on Joker’s face when he’s looking at the zip line shooter…
It was repeated in Spawn...
I've always loved the sound of the glass breaking.
Joker just having fun here😁😁😁, really nice to watch
I watched it in the movie theater when i was 5.. I was so impressed with Batman and thought it was so badass now its rather goofy and feels like i used to feel about the goofy 60s because subsequents movies (not 3 or 4) have gotten grittier and more serious..
The guy with the candles is living in his own world and dancing 😂 Joker is like "Give him a shave" and he just looks at the painting and continues dancing
I think his only job was to carry the candlestick and the champagne, LOL. Too bad for him, the others were having so much fun defacing the paintings

Keaton's voice and mannerisms as Batman were just incredible.
He asks where Batman gets his toys but then joker himself has a mini flamethrower for a candle lighter 😂
Nicholson did a phenomenal job as Joker.
