I've never understood the ambivalence of the critics towards this movie. In my opinion, it's the best of the Batman movies, including Dark Knight. Stylistically, Gotham City exudes the dark, menacing yet vibrant quality found in Batman comic books. The Batman... Full review

Then I watched the movie and found Keaton almost perfect.....No, he didn't fit my mental picture of Bruce Wayne;....The movie's supporting cast do their part as well.....In the Sixties I generally hated the corny "Batman" TV series....In short, Keaton proves a far better dramatic actor than anyone might have thought.... ...
