Prince wrote bangers for this. Nicholson got paid per minute. Gotham's never looked this hot.

But when a deformed madman known as 'The Joker' seizes control of Gotham's criminal underworld, Batman must face his most ruthless nemesis ever while protecting both his identity and his love interest, reporter Vicki Vale.
