====''Batman'' (1989)====
====''Batman'' (1989)====
In 1989 Tim Burton's ''Batman'' was released, with Jack Nicholson going all-out as the Joker<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWEhueUvVdM</ref> in a performance that many felt upstaged the title character. In this film the Joker's origins remain true with the Red Hood story but are slightly-modified; he is given a name - Jack Napier - and is portrayed as a mob enforcer who is double-crossed by his boss while attempting to fake a case of industrial espionage at a chemical factory. A police raid on the factory, as well as the arrival of Batman, ends with Napier falling into a chemical tank, creating the Joker. Burton's version also has Napier shown as a much-younger man (played by Hugo Blick) via a flashback scene: he was the one who committed the murder of Bruce Wayne's parents, the act which eventually created the Batman.
