Funny that you’re doing that pitchleague, because after watching all 3 of the Nolan Batman’s last week, I started to go through the Burton/Keaton ones this week. I don’t know if it’s a generational difference (I was 1 when the ’89 version came out), but I was extremely disappointed in Batman. And I don't even think it's because I'm comparing it to the recent three; even without the comparison it just isn't very good. Michael Keaton is about as stiff as you can get, Vicki Vale’s character development was pretty much non-existent considering she played a pretty big role, the writing was pretty poor, and I thought Jack Nicholson was just completely average. I couldn’t believe when I read that he and Michael Keaton were on AFI’s 100 Years…list for best villains and heroes. I thought Batman Returns was better less cringe-worthy. At least the female lead had a better backstory; though some of the lines written for Catwoman were pretty awful. Danny DeVito wasn’t good either, but again some of the script for him was pretty brutal. At least Christopher Walken was in it. What’s funny to me is I read that many people didn’t like the “dark” tone the first two took, which is why Batman Forever and Batman & Robin are much more cartoony. Can’t wait to check those out.
