The original Batman '89 had a very retro aesthetic to begin with, so the conversion to black & white was a perfect fit, and the muscial change from the Prince soundtrack to 40's swing classics completed the noir transformation. I've never been a fan of Joker being the murderer of the Waynes nor of the Vicki Vale romance, but it works well in this version of the film. The alternate ending left the film on an unexpectedly poignant note, which I enjoyed. I highly recommend this edit.
