I have given a name to my pain:Batman

Once again, thanks for your 129 pageviews! It means a lot! Now time for Batman(1989) movie review. This is going to be different from the Harry Potter review. Its not going to be a short by short, I'm just going to talk about this one movie. Sorry I didn't post this yesterday like I promised, but I had something to do. OK now for the review. This Batman movie, in my opinion, made Batman mainstream, which means it was the one that made everyone notice Batman,which is great. I just only watched Batman yesterday,and I'm not one of those people who watched as a kid in 1989, so this is going to be a different point of view from all those people who hold this movie in nostalgic value(not saying their bad in case you misinterpret me, just saying this is going to be different). Batman(1989) was directed by Tim Burton and Tim Burton made this Batman a dark and gritty version. I'm still not sure if it was designed for kids or adults. Micheal Keaton was the Batman and when I searched for Micheal Keaton, he was a comedian at that time. I was like, what? Comedian being the Dark Knight? But he did a great job as Batman, not talking too much just going around in the Batsuit saying 'I'm Batman' and the way he introduced himself was really great. He just grabbed a random thug and held him over a building and said 'I'm Batman'. OK on to the plot: There's this guy named Jack in the mob whose boss set him up because Jack's dating his wife(or was it daughter?) Then Jack fell over and was bathed in chemical sludge then the next thing you know BOOM Joker's here! Then you have this character Vicky Vale who wants to know whose the Batman and decides to dig into Bruce Wayne's past and discovered his parents were shot. Which is a funny thing for me: I thought Bruce Wayne was like the Bill Gates of Gotham, everyone knew him and his past and such. But I guess its a different take in which Bruce is just another rich guy. Which explains why Micheal didn't have that gravelly voice since he has no need of disguising himself. Continuing though, I did not like Joker being all lovey with Vicky. It didn't do anything for the plot and it wasn't like he was trying  to kidnap her since it was obvious Bruce likes her and saves her a bunch of times in the Batsuit.No just Joker being in love with Batman's love interest(ugh). Anyway, the Joker covers Gotham City with his killing(I guess) gas but luckily Batman manages to prevent it. The final act is Batman and Joker having a fist fight on the top of a huge tower and Joker falling to his death. The one thing I have to comment on that last scene was how creepy it was seeing Joker still laughing in his death. There are pros and cons in this movie. The pro was Micheal Keaton. He did a great job of being Batman and Bruce Wayne.The strongest point of the movie though was Jack Nicholsan's Joker. This movie should be called Joker since its more or less a Joker origin tale. It doesn't show how Batman became Batman it shows how Joker became The Joker. And the Joker himself was awesome he had this one scene where he was all like 'Well I'm glad your dead' and he gives this crazy hellish laugh.Awesome. The cons of the movie was, I said before, the Joker's interest in Vicky Vale. Another flaw was the way Vicky Vale discovers Batman's identity. I thought Batman doesn't trust anyone ever(Alfred not included) so I don't know why Alfred had to tell her his identity. I guess it has something to do with Alfred wanting Bruce to settle down but I didn't like it. Last thing though was Commissioner Gordon. He was such a weak character that I felt if he was left out of the movie, no big difference. Overall a great movie,but if you live and die by the Nolan movies you might not like this one. In fact I had to rewatch it and completely drive Nolan's films out of my mind to make sure this is a fair review. Once again thanks for viewing my page guys and hopefully you all will comment on how I can improve and can tell me whether you like the short by short review or this long one type review. Look forward to my next review: Batman Returns! I am Reviewer(jumps off building)
