    GREATEST MOVIE OF THE 80'S!!!

    by supremeadmiral

    This is the one that started it all!  A GREAT movie, well planned and well cast.  Tim Burton brought us a perfect movie adaptation of a comic book.  Any time your local theater shows this movie, take the opportunity to go see it on the big screen!

    It's no Batman Begins

    by Sweets'

    I just saw this last week for the first time. Previously the only Batman movie I'd seen was Batman Begins. This was soooo corney in comparison. I guess that's to be expected from an eighteen year old Tim Burton movie based on a comic book. Overall it was fun to see with a group of friends on the big screen but, I don't think I'd see it again.
