Batman 89 - It's not perfect, but god damn is this such an incredible movie! It's plotted like something Denny O'Neil and Len Wein would have written in the 70s while Tim Burton dons a fedora to provide an incredible Neo-Noir experience. The best thing about it is it brings Batman into the real world while maintaining its comic book look and feel. Keaton captures what makes Batman Batman while maintaining the essence of the tragic playboyish nature of Wayne. Nicholson is fantastic as the Joker despite being a little old for the character. Nox and Vicky are great supporting characters and I just love the Batsuit. It has the yellow insignia that DC seems to shy away from these days because they're morons. 10/10

The Batman -Like the Burton film, it isn't perfect, but manages to capture the biggest factor of Batman that most movies forget about, his detective side. It's like watching a Neo-Noir thriller with Batman characters in it. It doesn't try to be completely realistic in order to maintain it's comic book roots, something Nolan failed to do miserably. On the other hand, Bruce Wayne takes a major backseat in this one and is probably the worst iteration of the character since George Clooney. Thankfully, it works from a narrative point of view as it feels like he is relearning how to be Bruce Wayne after being Batman for so long. It also helps that the story is gripping and engaging. Not to mention we finally got a proper iteration of Penguin and Catwoman on film on top of having great actors for Falcone, Gordon, and Riddler. 9/10
