Batman (1989) is one of the first-and arguably among the best-movies starring the Capped Crusader as he takes down his nefarious foe, The Joker, in this Tim Burton classic! Both are played well by Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson! A must have for any superhero buff.

[The Joker is dancing with Vicki Vale in the bell tower of the cathedral.]
The Joker: It's as though we were made for each other. Beauty and the beast. Of course, if anyone else calls you a beast, I'll rip their lungs out.
Trivia: Sean Young was originally cast as Vicki Vale but broke her collarbone while filming a horse-riding scene with Michael Keaton. The scene was subsequently written out of the script when Kim Basinger took over the role.
Question: Given how narrow that ledge is, just how could the Joker grab hold of it and silently pull himself onto it prior to yanking Batman and Vicki Vale over the side?
Answer: Most likely, in real life, this would be impossible. Movies take liberties with facts and realities in order to tell the story.
