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.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: The first and perhaps most trend-setting, modern superhero film based on a comic book character.

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.

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.

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.
