  • 1. Spel och film
    8.9 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The music in the film, the technology, the darkness in Gotham, the gloomy atmosphere, and the hopelessness of humanity's ego are factors that further contribute to making Batman a fantastic movie.

  • 2. Moviezine
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Now that Christopher Nolan has resurrected the character in his more gritty, realistic and down-to-earth trilogy, it is quite natural that his name is the one that most often comes up in discussions about Batman's cinematic life. However, we must never forget where he was truly born on the big screen.

    Positive, no rating

    Translated from swedish: "Batman ‘89" is an audiovisual celebration and a timestamp for where the genre has been and to some extent where it was also seriously born.

  • 5. Russin
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The film has a certain charm and Batman is still an exciting and fascinating character. Overall, the end result is very uneven.
