1989 Batman The Making Of A Hero Documentary Special Full 1989Batman.com

[@ghostcollateral2147]

This will forever be the best Batman movie. Comic hero movies before this, even the successful one, could not understand the nature of the hero or the world. Burton understood the story board was the comic. Danny elfman brought it out further in an epic and dark orchestra. To understand this movie on its forever #1 podium look into the past. This did so many first, it had so many things done perfectly that it carried on as the definitive standards for many, many, years after.

Keaton is the Best Batman!

[@ChrisAndrewsHeavenAngel]

Yes he is. I was just watching " Batman 1989" film on blu- ray dvd starring, Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton, Kim Basinger and Robert Wahl.

[@TheQHBlend1]

It simply comes down to presence and I think Keaton had it here. Great actor and he definitely translated the integrity of the character, even if not aware of it. The Burton films shaped my childhood and I enjoy both his Batman films even today.

[@glamonails7666]

those sfx in the nineties were so much better! blue screen, miniatures cities, etc... wonderful setup and organization for this classic hero movie!

[@drinkingpoolwater]

I agree, it looked so dark and raw. Much more believable than CGI

[@BardicLiving]

The matte paintings in this movie are gorgeous.

[@SemperLOL]

I hope i am not the only one, but in my opinion, the batman from 1989 and 1992 has something special than nolan's dark knight trilogy.maybe because every time i see this two movies it reminds me of my childhood years.... of course that the special effects where not as special than of these days, but doesn't really matter . i enjoy watching them everytime

[@WilsonOrihuela]

As much as I absolutely love Batman Begins (best in the Nolan trilogy in my opinion) 89 Batman is another beast entirely. Even Gotham City is a character in that movie. Michael Keaton to me is the best of all the Batmans. Totally cool under pressure and he fears nothing; he makes Christian Bale look positively emo in comparison.

[@luminata8]

Michael Keaton's face says it all!!

[@SylviaPennylaneRobles]

Yep totally agree Michael Kenton best Batman hands down

[@casttheshadow7512]

All batmen"

[@cacete7]

Watching this again, 30 years later! Great movie, probably the best Batman movie ever, I just love it! Happy birthday Batman! Today 3/30/2019 Batman is 80 years old character, long life to the big black bat!

[@markpowell5711]

I remember watching this on TV when it first came out. Thanks for posting it, great memories

[@fatenabu1]

I love that in the storyboards/concept art they show the batsuit is blue and grey as it was in the comics at the time

[@MegaRez111]

the best part about this movie is that it isn't an origin story

[@kyleconnolly581]

until Batman Begins

[@axebomber2108]

I never noticed the inside of the batsuit vault door had all his gadgets.

[@joshuawhitlock1224]

I love batman this is a awesome picture and I watch it every day when I was a kid and teen and I read the comics and I love the cast and crew and jack and Michael and the soundtrack prince and Tim Burton.

[@gjd1942]

Kim Basinger, what can one say. As Vicki Vale she is remarkable. As herself she is talented, poised, beautiful, intelligent. Even today, she is much the same.

[@ProMonarchyGenius]

Michael Keaton is THE Batman

[@theunknowncommenter725]

Or is it just "Batman"?

[@ChrisAndrewsHeavenAngel]

​@@theunknowncommenter725Michelle Pfeiffer " Batman Returns" 1992 Selina Kyle / Catwoman.

[@grzegorzchomka72]

Michael Keaton is Bruce Wayne. And it is Bruce who is Batman.

[@ChrisAndrewsHeavenAngel]

@@grzegorzchomka72 Correct. Bruce Wayne is the true mask hero behind the masked hero " Batman". Michael Keaton was unique in playing both Bruce Wayne / Batman to distinguish identities that were similar but opposite. He was playing a person with dual identities or an alterego. Another side of one self.

[@JayKhwaja]

PRINCE Made Brilliant Soundtrack as did Danny Elfman, we will miss him (1958 - 2016)

[@ChrisAndrewsHeavenAngel]

Danny Elfman passed away. Oh yeah he did didn't he. Danny Elfman did music for Batman 1989, Spiderman 2002, and Hulk 2003. He should have done music for Superman 1978. Superman's films had two great music artists. John Williams and Hans Zimmer.

[@JayKhwaja]

@@ChrisAndrewsHeavenAngel You had me panicking there, I thought for a moment he sadly went.

[@ChrisAndrewsHeavenAngel]

@@JayKhwaja No. Danny Elfman really did pass away 8 years ago buddy. He was born in 1958. He died in 2016.

[@JayKhwaja]

@@ChrisAndrewsHeavenAngel no he didn't and he was not born 1958 but 1953, go figure.

[@JayKhwaja]

@ChrisAndrewsHeavenAngel no he didn't and he was born 1953 not '58.

[@tjlaviolette]

Michael Keaton.....best Batman ever!!

[@MatthewLombard1981]

It was the biggest film at the time, made in England at Pinewood Studios on a budget of $40 million Dollars

[@Patrick2480]

Warners should include this on a future 25th anniversary blu ray, if WB can get the rights from the tv company that produce it.

[@wildone106]

7:15 Bill Murray!??!?! Im surprised he didnt put a giant fuckin spider robot in this one...

[@AhmedEssam-kp6wm]

Bob Kane Was Talking like ... He was the only guy behind making Batman , Well ... Bill Finger is also an important part of making batman , more Important than Bob Kane !

[@go-godollie2335]

10:30 That is totally Prince on the set!

[@hollywoodmafia4841]

Tim Burton is a Genius, The Best Batman ever, forget the Origin stories today.

[@MatthewLombard1981]

RIP, ANTON FURST, DEREK MEDDINGS

[@omegaphoneofjesus]

Great movie.

[@leadspot]

best Vicky Vale in the big screen

[@QuickStix26]

Bill Murray as Batman? Ya, glad it didn't go in that direction.

[@casttheshadow7512]

QuickStix26 I was just saying that would have been a disaster

[@axebomber2108]

I mean, they kinda went in a similar direction by casting Michael Keaton, another comedic actor. But I can see the problem with Bill Murray. He would be more likely to ad-lib funny remarks and I have trouble imagining him playing an intimidating Batman. It would have been like George Clooney with Batman being charming and funny and not taking anything seriously.

[@HellbillyHalloween]

30 year old man that looks more like a lead guitarist than a lead film director lol, true

[@matthewjacobson7535]

At 15:20 - "This is a movie that employed over 500 people." ... Wow!

[@samuraispiritsx]

it was too good to last

[@mikesalvucci4652]

that's a door you nut

[@matteovitacco3735]

oh wow

[@raulzavala9061]

Wasn't there voice narration for this? Even the end credits list the voice narrator.

[@jimmymccartney2049]

Music:Danny Elfman(1989)

[@jimmymccartney2049]

1949

[@bmillerdrums]

How real movies are made! Fuck all this CGI shit

[@theunknowncommenter725]

You do know that everything produced in movies is fake right? It doesn't matter if it's produced by paintings, sets, or computers. It's all fake.

[@CubanPete1990]

I've like the way when Michael Keaton play's the role as Batman/Bruce Wayne but back then he should continue to be Batman/Bruce Wayne again in Batman Forever (1995) not Val Kilmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@martykeaton182]

Copyrighted?

[@JaxWatchesandEDC]

How the hell would Bill Murry play batman?! Were you people high?

[@SparkierHat]

Believe it or not, back then people felt worse if not the same opinion for michael keaton

[@JaxWatchesandEDC]

+Sparkier Hat I know they did. Bill just doesn't seem to be naturally crazy like Jack

[@devinpratt6237]

Does anyone happen to know if this aired on The Family Channel in the US just before the movie came out? I'm trying to find/remember a behind-the-scenes special that aired on it.

[@jalenjohnson1662]

No, this only aired in the UK

[@lucas.c5393]

Muito loko

[@MyIceman12345]

Keaton was great as the Batman,...but Jack Nicholson stole the show as the Joker !!!!!

[@rocketcon]

Michael Keaton probably wouldn't have done the film if Jack Nicholson wasn't in it, as he had always wanted to work with him and was just waiting for the right project to come along. Jack definitely stole the show, but if anyone else had played Batman the movie wouldn't have been as good as it is.

[@marytate6637]

I want to write that my name is Josh Tate and i'm writing that the year 2024 will not only be the 35th anniversary of Tim Burton's Batman film but it will also be Batman's 85th anniversary.year too.

[@jrvbamafan1]

I'm sorry but Bill Murray as much as I like his movies would have been a terrible batman

[@mauricemaroni7101]

Jeahav, think before u talk, Christian bale will always be the real batman, Michael Keaton was a brilliant batman to, ben affleck will be a good comic book batman but he won't top bale, the reason u don't like the Nolan's films is because there crime dramas, there's no fun or fantasy, that's why it looks like law & order in masks.

[@arizonaFIREent]

Maurice Maroni no its because those movies are trash

[@nicholashughes4342]

Great theme music, will be exciting to see Keaton back in the Flash, be cool if they would bring Christopher Reeves back in the multiverse, be blessed,saved alll in Jesus shalom

[@grzegorzchomka72]

I love this Batman version. Made me.
