Batman (1989)Rating: 3 Stars (out of 4)The Big JokeBy Jeffrey M. Anderson
Note: The film's poster, depicting the center portion of the "bat" symbol while pushing the edges outside the frame, caused a minor squibble when it was realized that many people did not understand it. Many could not see the image in the poster and did not know what it was supposed to be advertising. DVD Details: In 2005, to coincide with the DVD release of Batman Begins, Warner Home Video re-released the previous four Batman films in double-disc Special Editions, and in a box set. The main Batman disc comes with a dazzlingly remastered picture and sound and a new fairly honest Tim Burton commentary track. The bonus disc comes with a bunch of featurettes, both on the making of the movie and on the comic books (Kevin Smith is an interviewee). Creator Bob Kane, who was alive in 1989, appears in a tiny featurette visiting the set. Otherwise there are storyboards, character profiles and three Prince music videos. Starring: Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton, Kim Basinger, Billy Dee Williams, Pat Hingle, Robert Wuhl, Jack Palance, Tracey Walter |
