This was the first film i got on blue-ray. Jack Nicholson steals the show as the joker, you can clearly see that he was having fun and Michael Keaton is a suprisingly good Batman, everyone slated the casting choice before the film's release but once they saw the movie everyone admitted to being wrong. Hardcore Batman fans will say that this movie is not as true to the comics as they would like but that to me is why it was a film and not a comic. It is a completely different media so enjoy this movie for being the movie that it is. If you do enjoy this film please also read the comics that inspired it such as the beloved Batman: The Killing Joke (Deluxe Edition) and Batman: Dark Knight Returns

I love this Tim Burton classic adaptation of Batman. So it doesn't have the the big action of the newer movie with Christian Bale but this is just a completely different kettle of fish. Firstly Michael Keaton is brilliant as Bruce Wayne and Jack Nicolson gives a cracking performance as a wonderfully twisted Joker that couldn't really be more different from the Heath Ledger character. In Burton's usual gothic style he creates a dark but effervescent City of Gotham and introduces the new batmobile. Plus, the soundtrack by Prince, in my opinion is a classic and is used well throughout the film. Well worth an hour and half of your time!
