This movie needs a Dad! But I guess if it had one, it wouldn't really be a Batman, would it? Aren't most Tim Burton movies about missing grown ups in one way or another? He's got some stuff to work through, but then again, don't we all? Bruce Wayne certainly does; so does his counterpart Jack Napier/Joker in this astoundingly awkward mash-up of ideas, tones, and styles. We'll take you deep into the Freudian undertones of Timmy B's 1989 weirdly massively successful blockbuster (Keaton! Nicholson! Basinger! PRINCE, FOR CHRISSAKES! And...Jack Palance?), BATMAN!
