Batman 1998

Batman is a 1989 American superhero film directed by Tim Burton
and produced by Jon Peters and Peter Guber, based on the DC
Comics character of the same name. It is the first installment
of Warner Bros.' initial Batman film series. The film stars Jack
Nicholson as the Joker and Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne /
Batman, alongside Kim Basinger, Robert Wuhl, Pat Hingle, Billy
Dee Williams, Michael Gough, and Jack Palance. The film takes
place early in the title character's war on crime, and depicts a
battle with the Joker.
After Burton was hired as director in 1986, Steve Englehart and
Julie Hickson wrote film treatments before Sam Hamm wrote the
first screenplay. Batman was not greenlit until after the
success of Burton's Beetlejuice (1988). Numerous A-list actors
were considered for the role of Batman before Keaton was cast.
Keaton's casting caused a controversy since, by 1988, he had
become typecast as a comedic actor and many observers doubted he
could portray a serious role.[3] Nicholson accepted the role of
the Joker under strict conditions that dictated top billing, a
portion of the film's earnings (including associated
merchandise), and his own shooting schedule.
The tone and themes of the film were influenced in part by Alan
Moore and Brian Bolland's The Killing Joke and Frank Miller's
The Dark Knight Returns. The film primarily adapts the "Red
Hood" origin story for the Joker, in which Batman inadvertently
creates the Joker by causing him to fall into Axis Chemical
acid, resulting in his transformation into a psychopath, but it
adds a unique twist in presenting him specifically as a gangster
named Jack Napier. Filming took place at Pinewood Studios from
October 1988 to January 1989. The budget escalated from $30
million to $48 million, while the 1988 Writers Guild of America
strike forced Hamm to drop out. Warren Skaaren did rewrites.
Additional uncredited drafts were done by Charles McKeown and
Jonathan Gems.
Batman was a critical and financial success, earning over $400
million in box office totals. It was the fifth-highest-grossing
film in history at the time of its release. The film received
several Saturn Award nominations and a Golden Globe nomination,
and won an Academy Award. It also inspired the equally
successful Batman: The Animated Series, paving the way for the
DC animated universe, and has influenced Hollywood's modern
marketing and development techniques of the superhero film
genre. Three sequels, Batman Returns (1992), Batman Forever
(1995) and Batman & Robin (1997), were released.
