My #1 Movie of all Time, Brings Back Great Memories. it Did Indeed Pave The Road For Super Hero Movies To be taken seriously And To Show That They Don't Always have To Be Colorful And Optimistic, Magnificent Design Done By The Late Great Anton Furst Specially With What I Consider The Most Iconic Batmobile, Absolutely Brilliant Vision And Directing By Tim Burton And Great Team of Actors Specially For Keaton Who Proved His Doubters Wrong By Doing A Killer Job in Showing us A Perfect Version of Both Batman And Bruce Wayne (First One to Decide That Batman Needed A Different Voice Than Bruce Wayne, And an Iconic Score Done By Danny Elfman, I Remember When Studying Movie Lighting Techniques We Were Advised To Watch 1989 Batman Because of The Great Usage of Lighting in foreshadowing. And Let's Not Forget This Movie Gave Us The Great Animated Series Which Was Influenced By it From The Batmobile Design To Danny Elfman's Score. in My Opinion 1989 Batman is A Timeless Masterpiece in Movies History. Thank You Looper For The great Video.

Unless you were a very small child or living on another planet you noticed. I was 14 years old that summer and Batman was everywhere. Without a doubt I can say I saw this movie in theaters more than any other film in my 44 years. I remember all the promotional and marketing tie ins associated with it. It helped launch the greatest animated super hero series of all time in Batman The Animated Series. The first acion figure I gave my son to play with was '89 Batman.
With that being said I also believe this film over produced alot of the merchandise. Toys R Us locations were clearancing out the VHS tapes in '90-'91 for 2. 99 and they were not selling. As an adult it wasn't even my favorite film of the summer '89. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is my personal favorite from 1989.

Keaton's Batman has only ever been the most convincing Batman to me. Of all of them, only Keaton's portrayed a Bruce Wayne who A) spent the movie doing actual detective work and B) was at the very least, slightly crazy.
Not one of them even comes close to touching on Batman's crazy. None of them have a single scene anywhere near Michael Keaton standing in Vicki Vale's apartment with a fireplace poker, wild-eyed yelling in the Joker's face, YOU WANNA GET NUTS! LET'S! GET! NUTS!

I agree with many things here but tbh I think ppl give a lot of credit to Batman 89 and then ignore the fact that Batman 89 wouldnt have been as successful if not for Superman 78. Superman 78 was the first time that ppl decided to take comic books seriously and make a movie to reflect such a thing rather than it being a glorified cartoon like the Adam West Batman.
Batman and the whole MARVEL run was successful cause Superman 78 broke down those barriers.

For those of you who dont remember the movie that came out 30 years ago. um. Im not saying that people over the age of say, 35 (probably a bit more because those movies are pretty dark) dont use YouTube. but I WILL say that it definitely feels to me that most people here didnt notice this shift because we werent born yet. Hell I know I was the first of my friends to see Tim Burtons Batman movies, and I was born 4 years after the first one came out!

Thanx for this 1, Looper. Some1 needed to point out the bigness/greatness of Burton's Batman. Think u should've emphasized more, that it was (banning cheesiness of Superman, the 1st VERY GOOD comix movie. Recalling the event of it's release, we all suspected it would b the 1st good comix movie, / the most counter-intuitive aspect was Keaton as Batman. We (the people worth mentioning) were all Weird as it sounds, Keaton plays this spot-on.

I'm glad Tim Burton made Batman and Batman Returns (best superhero movie, imo. Without those 2 movies, we wouldn't have every Batman movie/game/TV show we have now. You name it. The Batman Arkham Series, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin to kill the franchise, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Batman Animated Series, whatever. Without Burton's Batman movies, Batman would still be considered goofy by the general audiences.

Fantastic video. It indeed inspired so much that I agree many don't notice the level of Impact it had on so many Superhero franchises that came after it. Most notably It had a huge influence on the tone of mask of the phantasm and The Animated series which most agree is the Definitive Batman. '89 will always be the one that started the Dark Superhero movie trend

Even before Spider man homecoming, their super villains that were not killed like Magneto in the x-men movies, Loki was the villain in the first Thor movie in 2011 and the first Avengers movie in 2012 and he survived both movies to appear in more marvel movies and last, Helmut Zemo the villain in the third Captain America movie survived
