"Batman" (1989) I'm Batman

 "Batman" was a huge film when it premiered in 1989. Tim Burton applied his interesting style to the gritty world of Batman and it worked well. Granted liberties were taken when Burton adapted the story to his liking. However it was still Batman, and Michael Keaton was an unbelievably good Batman and Bruce Wayne. And even better was Jack Nicholson as the Joker. The reboot of Batman by Christopher Nolan has been ridiculously successful, but that has not tarnished my memory of this classic. Here we have the second half of the opening scene. Two junkies have just robbed a family at gunpoint, even pointing the gun at the child. This would obviously not sit well with Batman considering his family history. He appears and takes care of the junkies with ease and announces "I'm Batman." Great intro. Enjoy!
