The brilliant "Batman" from 1989 will soar across the Tuškanac Summer Stage this year, taking us back to the early days of this phenomenal franchise. Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne will protect beloved Gotham City from his most famous enemy, the Joker, brilliantly portrayed by Jack Nicholson. The film is praised for its dark atmosphere, Tim Burton's innovative direction, and the strong performances of the leading actors, and to this day remains an absolute favorite not only among franchise fans but also among genre audiences.
Tim Burton (born 1958) is an American film director, producer, writer, and animator known for his unique visual style and penchant for gothic and fantastical stories. Burton rose to fame in the late 1980s and early 1990s with films like "Beetlejuice" (1988) and "Edward Scissorhands" (1990), but "Batman" (1989) was his first major blockbuster that redefined the superhero genre with its dark and stylized approach. Burton's films often explore themes of outsiders, monsters, and gothic aesthetics, making him one of the most recognizable directors in Hollywood.
