managed to soar above the theatrical Batman adaptation, and would remain the best Bat Movie to hit the big screens until Batman Begins shook things up in 2005 Full Review |

One of the best movie versions of Batman ever Full Review |

While the script and pedigree of actors are commendable, the craft level is too close to the small-screen offering to get audiences into theaters. Full Review |

4/5 |

5/5 |
