The real Batman

Rating: 9/10 (23 October 2015)

Remember when Batman And Gotham were truly dark? When villains were gruesome and not only sexy and cool? Tim Burton's Batman was the pure version of how it is supposed to be, and it makes me sad that people who grow up watching Nolan's films will always think Catwoman is such a nice lady who marries Batman in the end, and that Bruce Wane is this atrocious version of a spoiled rich kid with toys, stripping Batman's legacy of its darkness and appeal. Michelle Pfiffer in this film gave a masterful performance, along with Danny Devito. Tim Burton provides us with such a dark version of the city so that we can inhale its dense air and feel the sadness of the lonely individuals which take part in this story of angry, sad villains who have a storyline, and the loneliness of the man that is Batman, things that were terribly missed with all the other versions of Batman films. This film was a masterpiece then, and still reigns the darkest realm of all, Gotham city.
