Batman (USA, 1989)

Director: Tim Burton

Cast: Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton, Kim Basinger

The plot: Based on the Batman characters created by Bob Kane and published by DC Comics. In the first film of the serie, Batman (Keaton) saves Gotham City from the Joker (Nicholson).

Note: Escaping from the art museum, Batman and Vale (Basinger) are chased by the Joker's henchmen - one of their cars is a Valiant - possibly 72, although the front grille has twin headlights. Later they abandon the Batmobile in the middle of the street: the car parked next to it is a red 70's Valiant. Bruce Wayne is also seen leaving his mansion in what looks like a black Volare.
