The disc review portion is by Bill Hunt.] No matter how many times I am either a passenger or the driver of a vehicle, whenever I am at a long turn, it always makes me think of the title sequence that forms the bat symbol. From beginning to end, Batman entertains, thrills and captures the dark spirit of the comic book as well as adding a few little touches here and there cinematically. Michael Keaton played the Caped Crusader beautifully through two movies and seeing this original should be a reminder as to why the third and fourth movies failed miserably.
