With Tim Burton’s Batman and Batman Returns swooping back into theaters for a one-night-only Dolby Cinema event, we’re dusting off the Bat-Signal and re-releasing our deep-dive review of the film that redefined the superhero genre. In this episode, we revisit Burton’s gothic Gotham, Michael Keaton’s brooding Bruce Wayne, and Jack Nicholson’s unhinged Joker—exploring how Batman (1989) reshaped blockbuster filmmaking and paved the way for the modern comic book movie. Whether you're reliving the Danny Elfman score in Dolby Atmos or just wondering why Vicki Vale was always in danger, this retrospective is your cinematic grappling hook back to the summer of '89.
