“God love Anton Furst, but I am not a fan of the first film, just from a story point […] It’s a turgid unhumorous--even the Prince songs aren’t that good. I’m not a fan of the script. I know he got a lot of sh*t just from having Vicki Vale show up in the Batcave and not even make a dramatic thing about it […] It’s not my favorite Jack Nicholson performance either.”

Well he might be a bit biased considering he worked on a sequel instead of the original he would prefer if the sequel was seen as the better movie. I think they are both good.
