Jack Nicholson's Joker with makeup running down his face.

Over the weekend, in preparation for rewatching my favorite Christmas movie, Batman Returns, I decided to watch 1989's Batman first, and my goodness, I’d forgotten how fun that movie was. No origin story, Bruce Wayne in glasses, Vicki Vale’s outfits, and Jack Nicholson just hamming it up in the most excellent way.
