Batman

Brilliant.

While yes, the new Batman's are awesome, this one still stands up exceedingly well. It has that wonderful mix of originality, truism and humour...and the director, Tim Burton does not, on this occasion, go ridiculously overboard.

Plot: Batman/Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton) is a caped crusader, he is also a billionaire, so he can afford a few cool toys (Batmobile mainly) and he goes around fighting the bad guys cos Gotham Cities police are a tad corrupt. He also has to give The Joker (Jack Nicholson) a bit of a beatin' from time to time. Also starring Jack Palance and Kim Basinger.

Budget: $48,000,000

Gross: $411,348,924

Fun Fact: Tim Burton directed Pee Wee's Big Adventure, it's success is the reason he got this shot. Batman creator, Bob Kane saw the production at Pinewood Studios and endorsed the film fully.
