About
You can stream Batman (1989) on Max with a subscription, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.
Having witnessed his parents' brutal murder as a child, millionaire philanthropist Bruce Wayne fights crime in Gotham City disguised as Batman, a costumed hero who strikes fear into the hearts of villains. But when a deformed madman known as 'The Joker' seizes control of Gotham's criminal underworld, Batman must face his most ruthless nemesis ever while protecting both his identity and his love interest, reporter Vicki Vale.
Forget the campy superhero tropes of previous decades to find a neon-drenched, expressionistic nightmare fueled by gothic architecture. Nicholson transforms a chaotic clown into a terrifyingly unpredictable force of nature that pushes the Caped Crusader to his absolute limit.
