Batman to be Featured During Film Series at the Fox

Posted

The next film to be shown in the Historic Fox Theatre Restorations 2016 Film Series will be the 1989 action and adventure movie Batman, at the series’ temporary location in Centralia College’s Corbet Theatre.

In the movie, crime boss of Gotham City Carl Grissom, played by Jack Palance, runs the town but Batman, played by Michael Keaton, shows up as a new crime fighter. Grissom’s right-hand man, Jack Napier, played by Jack Nicholson, is brutal and not entirely sane.

Grissom has Napier set up with the police, but Napier ends up falling to his apparent death in a vat of chemicals. He soon reappears as The Joker and starts a reign of terror in Gotham City.

Reporter Vicki Vale, played by Kim Basinger, is in the city to do an article on Batman. She starts a relationship with Batman’s everyday persona — billionaire Bruce Wayne.

The film is rated PG-13 and is presented by Helly Hansen.
