A groundbreaking cinematic achievement (and one of the most expensive films ever produced, to that time), “Batman” was a mammoth gamble, and the record slack the ten-year struggle to bring it to the conceal is though-provoking! It is a fable of visionaries, beginning with Michael Uslan, a young student/Batman fan, who not only convinced his university to include comics in their curriculum, but, fired up by Richard Donner’s “Superman”, knew a Batman film could be fair as considerable, and took the plan, with Batman creator Bob Kane’s blessing, to Hollywood; of Peter Gruber and Jon Peters, who listened to Uslan, after every studio had passed on it, saw the potential, and decided to gamble; of Sam Hamm, who had a “Batman” script in his head, praying to obtain the chance to write it; and, most importantly, of Tim Burton, whose sunless, quirky sensibilities made him THE director to film it, despite only two feature films to his credit.
This mighty epic, with archival footage and current interviews, is the highlight of disc two, but there is powerful, considerable more! Did you know that Robin was scripted to accomplish an appearance in the first film? That Sean Young, not Kim Basinger, had been cast as Vicki Vale? That the Batmobile, designed by Oscar-winner Anton Furst, could actually do 95 mph (and that Tim Burton drove it, once? ) That the room where disfigured Jack Nicholson received his unsuccessful plastic surgery was actually a studio prop room? Each chapter is a revelation!

Not that there aren’t a few disappointments in the presentation; there is no chapter with deleted scenes (although a few moments are shown that never made it into the finished film…a diminutive girl, seeing Batman, asks, in all seriousness, “Is it Halloween? “, which causes him to stay, and grin) ; the ‘History’ of Batman, despite a wealth of photos and clips from the comics, serials, and graphic novels, does not offer a single visual from the campy 60s TV series (whether this was a refusal by 20th Century Fox, who produced the series, to permit their expend, or an attempt to distance the movie from the “ZAP! BAM! POW!” silliness is not explained) . Also, the brief appearance of hide memoir Jack Palance, as ‘Boss Grissom’, is largely ignored, other than in Tim Burton’s audio commentary, which is surprising. Calm, many of the cast fraction their memories (Billy Dee Williams smooth expresses disappointment that he didn’t collect to play ‘Two-Face’; Robert Wuhl, regret that after they rewrote his death scene to allow his character to survive, he never appeared in another film in the franchise) .
I guess what I’m saying, is…chuck your weak copy of “Batman”, and replace it with THIS one!
You’ll be tickled you did!
This film proved to the world that droll book films could be distinguished more than action-packed carnage festivals. This film (and the first sequel “Batman Returns”) have so distinguished more to it than that. “Batman” is a animated and very enthralling exploration of the psyche; it peers into the souls of not only the Murky Knight, but also those of the people whose lives he changes with his presence. The film is brilliantly acted by its perfectly-chosen cast, which includes Jack Nicholson (the Joker), Michael Keaton (the Batman), Kim Basinger (Vicki Vale), Micheal Gough (Alfred Pennyworth), and Robert Wuhl (Alexander Knox) . Tim Burton makes perfect expend of his fabulous directorial talents, Anton Furst designs a gothic, radiant Gotham City, and Danny Elfman’s classic musical find further support gain this a unusual, thought-provoking, and very worthy current classic, a masterpiece of film noir and titanic opera. “Batman Returns shares these unbelievable qualities, but, sadly, Joel Schumacher’s “Batman Forever” and “Batman and Robin” lose all of that depth and meaning, and become miniature more than standard mindless action. But, we’ll always have Burton’s black vision of a shrinking and brooding Batman.
