Batman just doesn't get any better than in this Tim Burton film starring Jack Nicholson as the Joker and Michael Keaton as Batman. This is a true film classic starring the Dark Knight at his absolute best. The action sequences are superb and the acting is wonderful. A true masterpiece of filmmaking.
