Featuring an iconic performance from AFI Life Achievement Award honoree Jack Nicholson that helped elevate the superhero genre from its four-color origins, BATMAN (1989) laid the foundations for the cinema landscape of today – blockbuster spectacle realized with grand ambition worthy of its larger-than-life heroes. In the title role – and as the Dark Knight’s alter ego of Bruce Wayne – Michael Keaton earned a place on the American Film Institute’s ranking of the art form’s greatest heroes.
