Much of this list is about how Batman straddles the line between serious and camp. Tim Burton is the person who got that just right. Parts of 1989’s Batman are ridiculous. Parts are downright exhilarating. The combination of the two, as well as the perfect two-hander between Joker and Batman, makes this a near-perfect Hollywood blockbuster. (Plus it has, by far, the best poster.)
