Batman (1989) is a classic. It has Hitchcock motifs as much as it has German Expressionist flourishes. It is a film that is striking in full color, but that I would love to see in a true black and white cut.

In this scene, The Joker and his gang get sophisticated at an art gallery. And between flights of fancy and touching up the paintings…

Joker prevents Bob the Goon from slicing up a Francis Bacon.

Perhaps this Joker fella is deep.
