Batman is the 1989 feature film adaptation of the DC Comics character. Directed by Tim Burton (Planet of the Apes), Michael Keaton stars as Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, who matches wits with the Joker (Jack Nicholson). This cycle of Batman films would span 4 films (including Batman Returns, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin) before Christopher Nolan's "reboot" of the franchise in 2005 with Batman Begins.
The following weapons were used in the film Batman:
