The best part of Keaton's Batman was that underneath the cool suit and one liners, you could tell he was genuinely insane and that makes total sense for a grown man in a bat costume.
I remember reading an article about how Burton wanted his Bruce to be seen as a little insane and socially awkward because he wasn’t comfortable in his own skin. Only when he was in his batman persona did he feel like himself.
Yes!! I saw this in the theaters. We take it for granted now, after so many variations, years, & personality reveals for superheroes... But it was _groundbreaking_ back then, for a movie character, to acknowledge that you _had_ to be a little crazy (w/suppressed rage) to be Batman! Keaton's delivery & line: "my life is... _complicated,"_ was iconic.
@@madone1980which is perfect, because Bruce sees Batman as his true persona. “Bruce Wayne” died in that alley the night his parents were murdered, and Batman was born.
For those who don't know, Bruce Wayne is actually very serious in this film. He is intentionally acting crazy here to provoke the joker into shooting him.
@@tmattmat1641 Just prior to the joker entering Vicki Vale's apartment, Bruce was about to tell her he is actually Batman. Placing the metal tray beneath his shirt before getting shot by the Joker was his way of telling her the truth, hoping she would connect this with her earlier experience with Batman being shot. Expecting the Joker to shoot him in the chest, especially after reading his psychological profile and seeing his penchant for disfiguring people's faces or gassing them to death, was a bit risky.
@@SavageMontreal I remember reading the novalisation a long time ago. Following this there was a whole chase and action scene with the Joker and Bruce Wayne/Batman which didn't make it into the movie.
35 years later... this awesome scene and character comes back around. I never would have imaged. Jack really did put in Oscar worthy performance in this movie.

However I must say that he gets cast as a lot of crazy people because he plays the role so well, so maybe it’s less of his acting and more of the role he’s in.
@@thespawnofsephiroth How did it not age well exactly? He managed to knock out a kryptonian with no kryptonite. Not only could Superman barely manage that but it took the combined electricity power of 2 flash's to finally kill him. Then he gets slammed to the ground by the kryptonian, and then gets right back up for seconds. Literally one of the most badass Batman moments of all time so I fail to see how this comment aged badly.
I feel like people often forget what an amazing Joker Jack Nicholson was. Everyone always says how the best Joker was Ledger, or Phoenix, or of course Hamill , and they're all fantastic, but Jack really deserves more love.
I love how after the Joker says “have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight” you see the realization in Bruce’s face that he killed his parents
@Bluefalcon32 Oh yeah! I mean after he witnessed his parents being gunned down as a kid, Joker then utters those words to him, then walks off. He of course had to live with those words from that day on.
He actually didn't fully realize it until he was going over the Joker's news footage later in the batcave and he was remembering the night his parents were killed.
@@vilebasterd5729 that’s up to interpretation. The experience at Vicki’s apartment caused him to reminisce and go back to the article. Probably the true moment of realization but the look on his face after he heard the line definitely caused him to realize he murdered them.
for me, keaton and nicholson started it, the first dark and serious batman and joker. they both walked so bale, affleck, pattinson, ledger, phoenix, and all their successors could run
For those of you who dont know in this scene you can hear bruce wayne talking about some crazy guy in the story he is actually refrencing the joker hence why bruce wayne said something about a head with bad wiring and the “Lets get nuts” part was improvised out of script and we see Joker jump and step back jack nicholson was surprised by the outburst it was his genuine reaction pure brillance in this scene
I like how in the 80s/earl 90s comicbook movies were actual movies that happened to have comicbook characters in them. So there was great acting, great writing and great story telling.
Yup, back then the goal seemed to be "if this thing had been a movie and never a comic book, what would it be like." Now the goal seems to be "let's put the property on-screen exactly as it is in the source material no matter how silly and one dimensional it will be on screen." Not everything translates well to the silver screen.
It’s true. Between the ages 8 and 11-which for me would have been between 1990 and 1993-“never rub another man’s rhubarb” was a running joke with friends.
"The kind of guy who couldn't hear the train till it was 2 feet in front of him" I love that Jokers only response to that is to smile and nod. Like "yeah you got my number with that one"
Keaton is my favourite Batman and Bruce Wayne. I love the sequel to this, it is much darker. Mark Hamill would be amazing, his voice is perfect as a villain.
@@kevinenriquez688I think it’s his way of saying that he feels like Vale belongs to him, and that he “killed” Bruce for getting too close to her among other things.
joker heard batman's line about not hearing the train until it was 2 feet in front of him, and you can see his expression means 'oooh yeah me too! I totally get that' great acting scene
I remember when I watched this on the big screen a few years back (2019 anniversary screening), I was shocked at how little Michael Keaton actually appears in the movie. I think it says a lot about how he makes the most of scenes like this one that I never noticed as a kid just how little Batman there is in 'Batman'.
The reason he says let's get Nuts is because in the original draft they had "let's go crazy" by prince as the song that joker and his goons played during the attack on the art gallery during filming, after filming when the score was put in the song was replaced with "partyman"
I never noticed how Vicki Vale is just casually eating popcorn in this scene. Maybe that's why Bruce Wayne suggested that he and the Joker go get some nuts. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that the Joker really liked rhubarb. After all these years, I think I'm beginning to understand this movie.
Have you noticed that the actors that played the villains in these movies were bigger stars than any of the actors that played Batman? Not that Michael Keaton isn’t that much of a star, but compared to… Jack Nicholson, Danny Devito, Michelle Pfeiffer, Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Uma Thurman… they’re much bigger than him
I think he was already there he was a a comedian before and he played beetlejuice thats why America was against his casting for batman do his comedic background they even sent hate mails to the studio and now he is considered the best batman
@@nsasupporter7557 He actually was one of the biggest stars in the 80s but after he turned down batman foever is celebrity status wasn't the same until Birdman what a comeback
@@seanchukwuezi3079 yeah, I knew that they got negative feedback from people about his casting as Batman. Yes, he was a star… it’s just that all the actors who played the villains were just much bigger stars
Leslie didn't say it anywhere near as cool, effective or intense as Keaton, and I like her as an actor. It just came off awkward. Keaton said it with style and badassary.
Joker telling him the exact same words he said after killing his parents many years just before shooting really shows how evil he's always been, only becoming worse. Surely he must remember he killed Bruce's parents and just wanted to shock him with realization before killing him.
Such a loaded scene. Keaton enters with a single rose, Joker exits with a bouquet of roses. My favorite line from the whole scene is "then he had his lights out!" I heard someone else interpret it as, "He made mistakes, then I had to put his lights out!". Might have been cooler, but either way the "lights out" is good foreshadowing of what Batman does to Joker and the "pale moonlight" is good foreshadowing of what Joker did to Batman's parents. Overall, the multiple rose exit makes it look like Joker is trying to one-up average men, and Keaton's single rose entrance makes it look like he could care less about one-upers. Great dynamic and great portrayal of 2 would be generic men, even though they are both larger than that in the bigger picture.
I think this movie hints that Joker is not really crazy he's just performing but Bruce is genuinely insane and this is him making fun of Joker. In Batman Returns it's the opposite, Penguin is genuinely more of a freak than Batman
For me personally, Keaton is the best Batman and Nicholson is the best Joker. They just encapsulate everything I love about the characters perfectly and the scenes they have together have so much weight to them.
Joker stayed pulling out a gun🤦. He know he couldn't go toe to toe with Bruce/Batman if his life depended on it lol. Love how Bruce was like "you wanna get nuts come on"😁
Bruce 'acts' crazy in order to protect Vicki, but all that changed when Joker asked him that 'infamous' line. A small part of his trauma began to resurface I'd assume?
The best part of this is that "WHAT" after Nicholson's line. Bruce tries to out crazy Joker and Joker out calms Bruce. When he says what, that's him realizing that Jack Napier was the man who killed his parents. Until that moment he though Napier was just another mob guy working for Grissom. When he whispers, "I know who you are" to Joker before telling this story, Joker knows HE ACTUALLY DOES NOT KNOW YET.. but Joker does. Joker would have figured out that it was Thomas and Martha Wayne he killed in that alley when the news hit. Jack Napier had quietly been walking around as a mobster with the hit on the Waynes under his belt. This is likely how he got to be Grissom's number one guy.. He was likely hired by Grissom or another boss before Grissom to kill them and it was always his plan to shoot them both. This could have been his first hit.. This would explain why BOB.. his partner looks mortified over the moment.. He didn't know it was a hit but was expecting them to just rob a rich couple like they typically do. Bob literally looks scared when Jack kills the Waynes. He's scared of Joker till his end after. Joker (Jack) actually knew that Bruce was about to act cool and try to impress a girl by getting into it with him, having no idea the guy he was about to scrap with, was the guy who killed his parents and made him get nuts. After he says his now famous line.. Joker is completely calm. Says the line, he knows Bruce will remember.. and then shoots him to finish his job from years ago. Joker believes he's just gotten THE LAST LAUGH.. BUT.. Bruce is wearing that plate in his coat to take the bullet he knows is coming. Bruce is trying to tell Vicky that he's Batman... He can't say it. So by doing what he's doing.. he's hoping her journalistic skills will kick in and she'll realize he is Batman after utilizing her makeup dish as a bulletproof vest. This is how Vicky figures it out, then she goes to the Mansion and tells Alfred to let her in because she knows he's Batman so there's no point in hiding him or that.. so Alfred lets her right in because he knows Bruce and her need to talk now that she knows his identity and is a reporter. Alfred did the smartest thing because if he tells her to leave, she may run a story about Batman being Bruce Wayne. The irony to this scene is that Joker is revealing himself to Bruce, while Bruce is revealing himself to Vicky... BUT later Batman would reveal he is Bruce to Joker the exact same way while also letting him know that he (Joker) had Batman out of a suit and trapped but didn't realize it, and Batman got away. Joker let Bruce know he was the guy who killed his parents but when he did, he didn't know that Bruce was Batman. Batman doesn't laugh.. but in the end.. we know now that the laughing bag... was taken by Batman. The last laugh belongs to Batman.
Interesting perspective most people don't think the guy with jack in flashback is Bob but I always thought so and I always wondered If Joker knew he killed his parents and was telling him. Where I might disagree is if it was a mob hit. I think he was just evil and crazy and did it just because. But him knowing what he did does make some sense though we never really know. The script is good enough we know what we need to know.
Jack Nicholson has won 3 Oscars throughout his career! lol Which is more than any other actor in history aside from Katherine Hepburn. Even though he didn’t win one for the Joker, he’s covered trust me lol
I love how Joker seems genuinely interested in Bruce's story. Both amazing actors.

Worst take ever. Don’t ever put Nicholson and Keaton in the same sentence as far as actors go.
@@johngoldsworthy7135 what u even getting at did u even read my comment?
@@johngoldsworthy7135 you dyslexic my man? Can't you read?
Joker stayed pulling out a gun🤦. He know he couldn't go toe to toe with Bruce/Batman if his life depended on it lol. Love how Bruce was like "you wanna get nuts come on"😁
Here because he said the same line from the flash movie
Same!
This became canon ❤️
"You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"
You know what happened to this guy jack
Keaton's transition of emotion when he hears that phrase and recognizes Jack from the past is absolutely brilliant.
Bruce: What?

And with that, Bruce and The Joker bond over their favorite Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode...
All I hear is Beetljuice’s voice😂😂😂”let’s get nuts”😂
35 años después lo volvió a decir
Muchas Gracias Andy Muschietti
Bruce 'acts' crazy in order to protect Vicki, but all that changed when Joker asked him that 'infamous' line. A small part of his trauma began to resurface I'd assume?
Man invites best friend to hangout with him at a peanut shop
Heath was scary...but Jack was Brutal and Funny at the same time....a true embodiment
after 34 years....
"It's nuttin time"
Bruce: "He couldn't see the train until it was two feet away from him." Joker thinking: "Yep - pretty much sums me up!" LOL I love it...
0:50 Joker got shocked by that sudden burst of tantrum 😂😂😂😂
Jack's Joker + Infinity War Thor = messing up by not going for the head.
The best part of this is that "WHAT" after Nicholson's line. Bruce tries to out crazy Joker and Joker out calms Bruce. When he says what, that's him realizing that Jack Napier was the man who killed his parents. Until that moment he though Napier was just another mob guy working for Grissom. When he whispers, "I know who you are" to Joker before telling this story, Joker knows HE ACTUALLY DOES NOT KNOW YET.. but Joker does. Joker would have figured out that it was Thomas and Martha Wayne he killed in that alley when the news hit. Jack Napier had quietly been walking around as a mobster with the hit on the Waynes under his belt. This is likely how he got to be Grissom's number one guy.. He was likely hired by Grissom or another boss before Grissom to kill them and it was always his plan to shoot them both. This could have been his first hit.. This would explain why BOB.. his partner looks mortified over the moment.. He didn't know it was a hit but was expecting them to just rob a rich couple like they typically do. Bob literally looks scared when Jack kills the Waynes. He's scared of Joker till his end after.
Joker (Jack) actually knew that Bruce was about to act cool and try to impress a girl by getting into it with him, having no idea the guy he was about to scrap with, was the guy who killed his parents and made him get nuts. After he says his now famous line.. Joker is completely calm. Says the line, he knows Bruce will remember.. and then shoots him to finish his job from years ago. Joker believes he's just gotten THE LAST LAUGH.. BUT..
Bruce is wearing that plate in his coat to take the bullet he knows is coming. Bruce is trying to tell Vicky that he's Batman... He can't say it. So by doing what he's doing.. he's hoping her journalistic skills will kick in and she'll realize he is Batman after utilizing her makeup dish as a bulletproof vest. This is how Vicky figures it out, then she goes to the Mansion and tells Alfred to let her in because she knows he's Batman so there's no point in hiding him or that.. so Alfred lets her right in because he knows Bruce and her need to talk now that she knows his identity and is a reporter. Alfred did the smartest thing because if he tells her to leave, she may run a story about Batman being Bruce Wayne.
The irony to this scene is that Joker is revealing himself to Bruce, while Bruce is revealing himself to Vicky... BUT later Batman would reveal he is Bruce to Joker the exact same way while also letting him know that he (Joker) had Batman out of a suit and trapped but didn't realize it, and Batman got away. Joker let Bruce know he was the guy who killed his parents but when he did, he didn't know that Bruce was Batman.
Batman doesn't laugh.. but in the end.. we know now that the laughing bag... was taken by Batman. The last laugh belongs to Batman.
Interesting perspective most people don't think the guy with jack in flashback is Bob but I always thought so and I always wondered If Joker knew he killed his parents and was telling him. Where I might disagree is if it was a mob hit. I think he was just evil and crazy and did it just because. But him knowing what he did does make some sense though we never really know. The script is good enough we know what we need to know.
Also I agree with what alfred did. Vicky figured it out and he was about to tell her anyways. Why people make that a big deal I don't understand
This is the scene that, in my mind, cemented Michael Keaton’s acting as the Batman.
just noticing how dope her apartment is. cool mix of art deco and postmodern. the venetian plaster looks great.
Let's all get nuts.
Pause
Jack Nicholson deserves the Oscars Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix got.
Jack Nicholson has won 3 Oscars throughout his career! lol
Which is more than any other actor in history aside from Katherine Hepburn. Even though he didn’t win one for the Joker, he’s covered trust me lol
That's why he will always be The Godfather Of Getting Nuts. Happy 72nd Birthday today to Keaton.
Great scene for Keaton. He actually stole a scene away from Jack Nicholson. It's not something many actors can say.
Wonderful scene, I always liked Jack Nicholson as The Joker, he's a great actor.
