#21 Batman (1989)

Directed by: Tim Burton
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton

Tim Burton's first of his two entries into the Batman saga is a solid one. It's darker and grittier than the previous TV shows featuring the Dark Knight and the performances are excellent. Jack Nicholson as the Joker is superb as is Michael Keaton's Batman. I don't feel it's as strong as Batman Returns or the newer Nolan films but it's still a solid entry and a very good film.
