Batman (1989)

The first time I see Jack Nicholson's white-painted face, as the Joker, the first thought that comes to mind is... now that doesn't look mutilated at all! He doesn't feel like a convincing villain at all. His character, sure, but that fall into the bat of acid was overkill. He's the same old same old. He's crazy, but he should look worse than that with his backstory.

The more the movie progresses though, the more I like it. Even the cheesy romance is OK.

I like the unexpected things, Joker's sense of spontaneity, the ninja crashing through the floorboards, or how about the dame fainting when she enters the room and sees Jack sitting on his chair? And the way Kim Basinger is finally introduced to the real Bruce Wayne - brought in behind his facade and insecurity, all thanks to the cunning butler Albert. She's snuck in, and all that earlier effort with Bruce trying to tell her he's a bat, that doesn't matter at all. Spontaneity.

The fire burning in the back of Batmobile doesn't look like a jet engine at all, and Batman's fighting style is stiff and linear, and the shoot-outs don't feel the most authentic, but on the other hand this movie has a real penchant for the theatrical: it's all done with style! No matter how corny these old superhero movies get, I do love them, and this one's no exception.

Man, it's Super. It's not Batshit crazy, but it really crawls in like a Spider. Good watch, and I hope to picking up on the rest of the series soon! Been too long since the early movies. Too long.
