 Some scenes of the 1989 "Batman" film starring (amongst others) Jack Nicholson as the Joker, were also filmed in empty wards at Hanwell (using K block).This went down especially well with the staff as an earlier film of Jack's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975), set in an American psychiatric hospital, was at that time a favourite.Some scenes of Stephen Poliakoff's film "She's Been Away" (1989) were filmed at the hospital.
