Batman started it all

Although they mess with the origin of Bruce Wayne's parents and tie it into the Joker being responsible for there death, the movie was very Awesome. Great set designs, costumes, and make up jobs. The Batman suit was incredible, to this day the best suit out of all the four Batman movies.

Micheal Keaton and Jack Nicholson do an amazing job, they could have picked somebody else to play Vicki Vale (not big on Kim Basinger).

A few things they should not have done:

1. Have Alfred be some dumb. He brings Vicki Vale into the Batcave, come on he would never do that in the comics. And there is a scene where Vicki is told by Bruce he and Alfred will be out of town for a few days and then when she sees Alfred she says see you guys when you get back. And Alfred responds BACK? We are going to be here for quite some time. Alfred would have played along and then asked Bruce about it later.

2. Why was Commisioner Gordon such a lump? Bad choice of casting him, perhaps they should have used Denis Franz.

Other than a few blunders because it is Hollywood I would say Batman is the all time best Superhero movie out there, it set the tone for all others that have followed, like Daredevil, Spiderman, etc...
