Abstract (Document Summary)

``Batman, Batman, have you seen Batman?'' This is all co-workers, in-laws, haircutters and shepherds have been asking for weeks. OK. I've seen Batman, and it's a very mixed three-star bag, with pro and con matched as evenly as Leonard-Hearns.

- Conclusion: There's a cold intelligence at work here. Though its pleasures are plentiful enough to reward a second viewing, only [Jack Nicholson] has saved Warners from a wing-clip. Batman ### (out of four) Jack Nicholson ... Joker/Jack Napier [Michael Keaton] ... Batman/Bruce Wayne [Kim Basinger] ... Vicki Vale
