Batman (1989)

I used to watch Batman all the time as a kid. Even though the sequel is in my mind many times greater, the original has a certain trailblazing quality to it. There is this underlying sense that Batman is being done darkly and it isn't like what we've come to expect. 

By today's standards, it's pretty straight forward. What's present here, however, is a villain called Joker. As far as the sequels up to now have gone, none have been as menacing, gripping and wholly presentful as this original enemy. 

It's not excellent, but its one of the better superhero flicks.
