A groundbreaking cinematic achievement (and one of the most expensive films ever produced, to that time), “Batman” was a vast gamble, and the legend tedious the ten-year struggle to bring it to the mask is attractive! It is a account 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 unbiased as mighty, 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 accumulate the chance to write it; and, most importantly, of Tim Burton, whose dusky, quirky sensibilities made him THE director to film it, despite only two feature films to his credit.
This considerable tale, with archival footage and unique interviews, is the highlight of disc two, but there is powerful, great more! Did you know that Robin was scripted to earn 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 end, 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 utilize, or an attempt to distance the movie from the “ZAP! BAM! POW!” silliness is not explained) . Also, the brief appearance of shroud chronicle Jack Palance, as ‘Boss Grissom’, is largely ignored, other than in Tim Burton’s audio commentary, which is surprising. Unruffled, many of the cast piece their memories (Billy Dee Williams mild expresses disappointment that he didn’t score 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 veteran copy of “Batman”, and replace it with THIS one!
You’ll be ecstatic you did!
This film proved to the world that silly book films could be mighty more than action-packed carnage festivals. This film (and the first sequel “Batman Returns”) have so remarkable more to it than that. “Batman” is a interesting and very fascinating exploration of the psyche; it peers into the souls of not only the Shadowy 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 consume of his astonishing directorial talents, Anton Furst designs a gothic, handsome Gotham City, and Danny Elfman’s classic musical procure further encourage originate this a unusual, thought-provoking, and very considerable unusual classic, a masterpiece of film noir and ample opera. “Batman Returns shares these fabulous qualities, but, sadly, Joel Schumacher’s “Batman Forever” and “Batman and Robin” lose all of that depth and meaning, and become limited more than standard mindless action. But, we’ll always have Burton’s sad vision of a shrinking and brooding Batman.
