I would consider this film the well done version of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Alice, this time a blonde like in Disney is DC's comics is portrayed by Vicki Vale. She encounters this weird Mercury top hat filled world of gangsters, the Joker, Batman, Knox even in her own occupation!
There's something sinister in this world of corrupt policemen, and neo-noirish about the portrayal of Gotham.
The Joker considers himself an artist, much like Hitler, and creates a war inspired by the wars of his past like that of World War I in a Stanley Kubrick-ish fashion.

Vicki Vale hangs out with Alfred like part of the family. Observing that Bruce Wayne's house is not him yet is, but not sure which one. Prior to this, Bruce lies about not knowing who Bruce Wayne. Or does he? Finds out that Bruce lied about being out of town, because of his parent's death anniversary. Wanted to tell her, but is interrupted by the Joker in Vale's house. Alfred lets her in later.
She's the protagonist of the film actually in a damsel in distress variation as we know nothing about Batman throughout the film, learning it through her perspective, an element most don't observe as Batman is the first main character of the film... Alice in Wonderland, the Bat Cave, being a perpendicular version of the Rabbit Hole. Heck, there's even a scene where she falls just like New in Gotham. Joker after has as well. Goes to Wayne's castle.
Coincidentally enough, Vicki Vale in the next film is replaced by another blonde woman, a cat, like in Disney's film, Selina Kyle.
