Batman - WB 20 Film Collection Thrillers
- Commentary: Turns out this doesn't wear well the second time around, either. Even its comic book shtick has been well surpassed, and by its own series. I do like Michael Keaton best as Batman, though. He wore the mantle well, better than any others I can think of. His voice is the epitome of Batman. That said, I'm glad I own it and will probably watch it again. And the characters. Oh, the characters! Nicholson and Bassinger both made a huge splash as their characters, and their performances hold up well.
I'm sorry, sometimes, that I don't have Batman Returns just to savor Danny DeVito's Joker. But, I've almost got too many Batman movies, as it is.
