- The opening rooftop introduction with “I'm Batman” is nominated; Keaton reportedly wrote that line.
- Knox and Vicki visiting Bruce Wayne’s office and Batman foiling the Joker’s gang ahead of the fall into the vat are listed.
- “Wait till they get a load of me” is offered as the film’s most famous line, with the rhubarb line as a jokey rival.
- The first Batmobile sequence and the drive into the Batcave, with Vicki fearing she will be killed, is called a favorite part of the movie and impressive for 1989.
- The flashback revealing that the Joker killed Bruce’s parents is called well done.
- The newscasts, the Smilex ad, and the parade with the poison gas are nominated; the parade is called completely bonkers but effectively the climax.
- The Vicki-Joker scenes are grouped: the museum date, the “let’s get nuts” showdown, and the bell tower, whose violent Joker fall was traumatizing as a child.
- The bell tower was left off because it is long, inexplicable, and geometrically confusing.
- Final pick: driving into the Batcave.
- Final pick: the Party Man scene where the Joker dances and defaces the museum art. — Sean Fennessey
