![]() ![]() Batman would be a serious film (well, as serious as a comic book movie can be) and Keaton was perfect in the Bruce Wayne/Batman role. Nothing could have been further from the truth. There was much unnecessary angst when comic actor Michael Keaton landed the title role with fans feeling that was a sure sign the film would lean towards the campy style evident in the famous television series. ![]() The story follows our Caped Crusader in his quest to clean up Gotham which is in the midst of a frightening crime wave. ![]() The brilliantly conceived, stunning visuals are the perfect backdrop for the story which will unfold. The city is almost a character unto itself in the film.dark, mysterious and somehow quite real. ![]() Gotham is dark, gloomy, and dreary.almost oppressively so. But where does he get those wonderful toys? In this film Tim Burton does a very good job of bringing the Dark Knight to life while also seemingly giving the dark, foreboding city of Gotham a life of its own. Our hero has no magical, mystical superpowers.he's just a guy in a suit. Campy television series aside, Batman has always seemed the most serious, the most grounded, the most real of all the comic book sagas. No radioactive spider bites or guys turning green or supermodels painted blue here. ![]()
