Writers: Bob Kane (Batman characters), Sam Hamm (story)
Stars: Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Kim Basinger
Storyline
Gotham City: dark, dangerous, 'protected' only by a mostly corrupt
police department. Despite the best efforts of D.A. Harvey Dent and
police commissioner Jim Gordon, the city becomes increasingly
unsafe...until a Dark Knight arises. We all know criminals are a
superstitious, cowardly lot...so his disguise must be able to strike
terror into their hearts. He becomes a bat. Enter Vicky Vale, a
prize-winning photo journalist who wants to uncover the secret of the
mysterious "bat-man". And enter Jack Napier, one-time enforcer for Boss
Grissom, horribly disfigured after a firefight in a chemical
factory...who, devoid of the last vestiges of sanity, seizes control of
Gotham's underworld as the psychotic, unpredictable Clown Prince of
Crime...the Joker. Gotham's only hope, it seems, lies in this dark,
brooding vigilante. And just how does billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne
fit into all of this?
