Batman
the Animated Series - Volume One
Batman is back in this
Emmy-winning animated series. During the day mild-mannered millionaire
Bruce Wayne seems like your average--albeit wealthy--Gotham City resident,
but at night, when the crime comes out, so does his alter-ego. With the
help of his trusty sidekick Robin, Batman attacks the evil forces that are
constantly threatening to overpower Gotham City. Picking up where the
comic book series left off, BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES introduces new and
exciting storylines that will have viewers coming back for more. Contains
twenty-eight action-packed episodes.
Tim Burton's BATMAN, inspired by Frank Miller's graphic
novel THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, is a Gothic, Wagnerian treatment of the
Batman mythos that explains the origins of Batman (Michael Keaton) and his
nemesis, the maniacal Joker (a ripe Jack Nicholson). Gotham City is a
sunless, ominous haven for criminals, held in the corrupt grip of crime
boss Carl Grissom (the ever-magnetic Jack Palance), and terrorized by a
sadistic vandal and murderer known as The Joker. But it isn't long before
a dark, mysterious caped crusader, who goes by the name of BATMAN, is on
their trail and trying to thwart their evil doings. In this darkly
entertaining retelling of the Marvel comic classic, ace photojournalist
Vicki Vale (warmly and sympathetically played by Kim Basinger) is also on
the trail--she wants to find out who Batman really is. Based on the
popular comic book character created by Bob Kane for DC Comics; the story
and tone have nothing in common with the popular TV series of the 1960s.
Imaginative special effects and imposing, Gothic architectural sets
dominate this visually graphic, stylish film. Keaton gives a brooding
performance as the Caped Crusader and his interestingly understated
alter-ego Bruce Wane. But is it Nicholson's Joker that steals the show,
with his unnerving, brilliantly maniacal portrayal, especially in the
context of his twisted relationship with Grissom's gal Alicia (a lanky,
disquieting Jerry Hall).Batman
