Rare 70mm blow-up print with six-track magnetic sound not screened locally since 1989 | Intro by Justin Esquivel of the Epic Film Guys on Sept. 11 at 6:30 p.m.
“Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?” Tim Burton brought the Dark Knight Detective to the big screen in this landmark 1989 comic book adaptation, breaking from the camp of the ‘60s TV show and reestablishing the edgy aspects of the character. Jack Nicholson as the Joker keeps things from getting too serious, while Michael Keaton, then mainly a comic actor and considered a controversial choice to play Bruce Wayne/Batman, surprised many with his steely demeanor and convincing darkness. The film’s iconic score is by Danny Elfman, with songs by Prince, including his #1 hit, “Batdance.”
