712流利阅读:《蝙蝠侠》30周年
When Tim Burton's "Batman" debuted （来自法语，t不发音）in theaters 30 years ago in 1989, it didn't just kick off（原本指开球，可表示开幕） a major, still-flourishing （依旧蓬勃发展）movie franchise（原指连锁，此指电影系列） and the current era of superhero-led blockbusters（成功书籍或电影）.
三十年前的 1989 年，蒂姆·波顿（鬼才导演，如剪刀手爱德华）版的《蝙蝠侠》在电影院上映，它所开创的，不仅是一个重要的、如今依旧蓬勃发展的电影系列，也不仅是如今这个由超级英雄大片主导的电影时代。
The film also had a profound （影响深刻的）impact on Batman himself, and the way comic book creators would depict（小说描绘的剧情） the character over the next three decades.
这部电影还对蝙蝠侠这个角色本身产生了非常深远的影响，在之后的三十年里，漫画家们描绘蝙蝠侠这个角色的方式深受其影响。
"As a character, he'd never been bigger," says DC Comics co-publisher Dan Didio.
DC 漫画的联合出版人丹·迪迪奥（音）说：“对于蝙蝠侠这个角色而言，他的影响力从未变得如此之大。”
He credits the dichotomy of Burton's （波顿的）sometimes spooky（奇怪的诡异的）, sometimes loopy （蠢而怪）approach for subverting（颠覆） expectations and making an impact on both his generation and a new breed of fans. "To see that character grow up and mature along with me, and to approach it in a way that captures everything that's great about the comic book character but with a maturation I know spoke directly to me at the time really sent me over the top."
他认可波顿版《蝙蝠侠》中那种让阴森可怕和怪诞傻气并存的二元对立，这样的处理方式颠覆了（影迷们的）期望，并对他那一代和新一代影迷影响很大。“能亲眼见证蝙蝠侠这个角色在与我一同长大、成熟，能看到电影不仅如实还原了漫画人物的精髓，而且让他更加成熟了，这版‘成熟化的’蝙蝠侠正好对我的胃口，真是爽翻了。”
But perhaps the '89 film's most profound contribution to comics was in its distinctive presentation of its villains. "When you see it on paper, it's one thing, but in Jack Nicholson's performance as The Joker, and even Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman, there was a weird, kind of horrific, creepy element to their portrayal of these villains. That's an influence that's still being depicted in the comic books and other adaptations today." says Jim Lee, who was a 25-year-old emerging comic book artist when the film bowed and would go on to become one of the definitive Batman artists and the co-publisher of DC Comics.
但是也许对这部 89 年的《蝙蝠侠》而言，它对所有漫画作品最大的贡献是对反派角色的别样刻画。在 89 年版《蝙蝠侠》首映的时候，吉姆·李是一位刚刚开始崭露头角的漫画家，多年后，他成为了最权威的《蝙蝠侠》漫画家之一，还当上了 DC 漫画的联合出版人。他说：“当你在印刷刊物上看到《蝙蝠侠》的时候，那是一回事儿。但是在杰克·尼克尔森对小丑的演绎中，甚至是在米歇尔·菲佛对猫女的诠释中，存在着一种怪异、可怕、令人毛骨悚然的感觉。而这样的处理手法仍然影响着如今的《蝙蝠侠》漫画和其他改编作品。”
