Washington Post -
The movie fixes you in its gravitational pull. It's an enveloping, walk-in vision... As rich and satisfying a movie as you're likely to see all year.

San Francisco Chronicle -
It's a rare, beautifully made movie that offers you another world. [23 June 1989, Daily Datebook, p.E1]

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
In short, Batman is terrific - funny, smart and sensitive too, the perfect cinematic date.

Variety -
Nicholson embellishes fascinatingly baroque designs with his twisted features, lavish verbal pirouettes and inspired excursions into the outer limits of psychosis. It's a masterpiece of sinister comic acting.

The New Republic -
It's relatively easy to convey the claustral in interior scenes, but [designer] Furst and the director Tim Burton do it even when the setting is a great flight of steps before the municipal building or the huge square where Batman and the joker confront each other. [31 July 1989, p.24]
