Take Michael Keaton as the brooding, romantic millionaire Bruce Wayne/Batman; add Jack Nicholson as the colorful yet demented criminal mastermind, The Joker; put them in dark and sinister Gotham City; and you have the makings of a good film. The Caped Crusader must stop his evil nemesis (in makeup) from wiping out the entire city with acid. Good fun.
