Brilliant direction by Tim Burton here, with obvious references to the german expressionism and Metropolis' mad factory. That moment in the stairs echoing the final scene in the cathedral tells a lot about the characters too, their madness and their fate.

That doesn't mean much when the joker has like 11 origin comics and they all slightly differ. From what i remember the real original they just sum it up as a "vat of chemicals".

Since Jack killed Bruce's parents during his youth, why do you think he seemingly never gave any thought to the fact that Bruce was still alive all these years later?

Because he openly spared his life (if only out of convenience)? It’s not like he was drunk or high on the night of the shooting.

Now that I’m an adult watching this movie now I always wondered when Jack shot detective Eckhart was he going to kill Gordon as well if Batman wouldn’t have been standing there in his peripheral?

[@RocKnight11]

I don't think Napier would have openly shot Gordon. Napier doesn't appear to despise Gordon the way he does Eckhart. I think Jack would have be satisfied with his revenge on Eckhart and escaped. Conversely, I think Batman could have saved Eckhart but didn't. Batman knows Eckhart is a dirty cop, so he probably didn't feel the need to save him (keep in mind, this Batman is a darker version of his then comic book counterpart).

I never forgot how Batman atleast tried to save Jack. I think 89 Batman is still the best Batman. He does the best he can, but it isn't til later in the film when he kills Joker and his henchmen, because despite Batman's conviction of not killing criminals, he won't let that get in the way if civilians are in danger. by the end, Jack was completely unhinged and was basically gonna kill everyone in gothem, on top of the fact that Bruce figured out that Jack killed his parents. He realized he was simply too far gone, and that Joker was too dangerous to be left alive. I know people dont like that Batman does kill in this movie, but give him credit, that it was either Joker dies, or everyone dies.
