Tim Burton's Batman remains an awesome film worth celebrating 35 years later as Michael Keaton's performance is great.
After years of fawning over Richard Donner’s Superman: The Movie and the campy Batman television series, nothing could have prepared me for Tim Burton’s dark, brooding take on the Caped Crusader. Tim Burton’s Batman ushered in the modern blockbuster, replete with a robust marketing/merchandising rollout that netted anywhere from $500-750 millionAdmittedly, I had no idea what to expect.
If I jot down the most influential films of my young life, I’d list Jaws, Batman, Jurassic Park, Aliens, and Superman: The Movie, likely in that order.Even by modern standards, Batman holds up well in terms of its visual style, performances, and Elfman’s iconic score. Thematically, it’sempty , but the spectacle and flair are enough to silence any detractors. Batman is the real deal and arguably one of the most rewatchable films ever produced.
Batman’s tech-driven presence in this noir-esque environment feels almost otherworldly. His astonishingly sleek Batmobile, arguably the finest among all the films, starkly contrasts Gotham’s clunky, old-fashioned aesthetic. Meanwhile, his formidable Batwing glides through the city’s rusted buildings like a glorified creature of the night. This Batman has a distinct look that is curiously lacking in later film efforts.
