I grew up watching reruns of the Adam West Batman. I was 10 in 1989 and I can’t explain to someone who wasn’t alive yet, how amazingly different this Batman was, and how big Batman was for the next few years.

[@garysmart3586]

Same age, right there with ya - totally understand. Every time I watch with my son, I always tell him about 89 Batmania..& he just can't get it! Was a polar shift in society!- I always have to compare it to like when Nirvana hit the music scene! Changed everything/ the world!! What a great/ better/ exciting time!

[@mrgovia8065]

I was 9 when this came out n batmania was huge. Brings back great memories

[@shainewhite2781]

Michael Keaton: "I'm Batman." Me, when I hear that line: "Damn straight."

[@burf90]

That was really enjoyable. For me, despite all the other excellent Batman portrayals, when Michael Keaton says, "I'm Batman", he truly is.

[@bbsy1]

Liota would have been a great Dent and even better Two-Face.

[@Zombiesnyder13]

I didn't grow up watching this Batman But I loved him in THE FLASH

[@bbsy1]

Literally the only reason I saw the film. And the reason everyone should.

[@Zombiesnyder13]

@@bbsy1 for me, it was Andy Muschietti

[@Darxide23]

If you didn't live through it, I don't think you can fully appreciate what a cultural phenomenon this movie was. Didn't matter whether you were a comic nerd or not, Batman was the biggest thing of 1989. It was everywhere and everything. The movie was very smartly not marketed as a comic book movie mostly because until that point, Batman was still somewhat of a campy comic book figure. He'd gotten a little more serious in the 80s, but it was nothing like the dark, gritty Batman we know today. That was 100% Tim Burton's doing. This movie made Batman what we think of him to be today. But as some of the marketing campaigns said, "1989 is the year of the Bat." I can't think of many things in recent memory that were as much of a cultural phenomenon as this. Most things that make a big splash in the cultural zeitgeist these days are flash-in-the-pan kind of things. Barbie/Oppenheimer was big, but evaporated in mere weeks. Batman hype lasted more than half a year at a fever pitch before it started to slow down.

[@elvispressplay7735]

I feel like my childhood happened in another timeline because I definitely remember getting two of those Batman toys in Happy Meals. I had the Catwoman one and the Batmobile. I kept that Batmobile on a shelf for ages, I liked it so much.

[@nak3dxsnake]

Why do you feel that way?He said it was discontinued not that it wasn't released.

[@jamesauber8622]

Michael Keaton was and still is the best Batman of all time the 89 batmobile was the best batmobile ever

[@TheGoddamnJefe]

KEATON!!! 🔥🦇🔥

[@Floymin]

Tiny Toon Adventures lampooned the Sean Young fiasco in the episode: "The Return of Batduck".

[@Damiantitan2020]

This is the first movie I've ever seen in Poland in the theaters holds a special place in my heart.. of course it was subtitled and I didn't catch half that stuff but I was a kid. I loved it

[@johnburnside7828]

As I vaguely recall, in the time leading up to "Batman Returns" there were articles about fans loving the idea of Danny DeVito playing the Penguin, but him being resistant to it and even being insulted by it.

[@JD-py7ek]

These films walked so the rest could run 🔥🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@mrknucklehead5882]

89 Batman sprinted!

[@scruff1628]

*GASP* Jules brought back the "One Per List"!!!!!

[@dennythesavage]

Every single time Batman is aired on tv, or sold a copy of in any media form. Jack Nicholson gets a cut from it, he even credited why he retired from acting, was because he was making Batman money. 😂

[@chantayb86]

Prince was the RIGHT person for original soundtrack.

[@LuisYoshiAvila]

Really missed the old "one per list" from your videos. Feels so right it's back!! I'm not totally on board with the change in tone, but I understand due the times. Still great to have them back.

[@cannibalbananas]

We had some of those batman toy cars from Mc D's. Forgot about those. Also, my sister wept when the Penguin died. She still thinks that scene is super sad.

[@chantayb86]

As a kids that was born in the mid 80s, I enjoyed this film even until this day.

[@jaydubbies]

Michael Keaton definitely had the eyebrows for Batman

[@tokemeout]

The restaurant that got the toys was “el polio loco 😛 “the crazy chicken 🐓🐥

[@nixeleth]

Catwoman didn't exactly "randomly show up." She was seeking revenge on Shreck for trying to kill her (and technically succeeding, briefly). Those attempts just happened to put her on Batman's radar.

[@LeonardoKlotz]

Young Flash: "How do you move your head with this suit?" Batman: "I don't"

[@kanukki84]

Matt Damon was considered Robin for Batman Forever, not Tim Burton's Batman!!

[@kevincruise3521]

First time seeing this channel I and could have swore the guy up top was Adam Sandler ;dead ringer LOL

[@ratpackmatinee]

THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! I was LUCKY ENOUGH to do an interview with MICHAEL KEATON'S MOVEMENT DOUBLE CARL NEWMAN, over this past year whom actual wore the 1989 SUIT PERFORMING stunts and is also featured in some of the MOST ICONIC scenes/shots from the 1989 film. He worked closely with TIM BURTON as well as JACK NICHOLSON while on set, and speaks about his experience in GREAT DETAIL. Feel free to check it out! I'd GREATLY APPRECIATE IT🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

[@FinalFantxsy]

4:05 it was supposed to be Michael AND prince but mj was busy with the bad tour and he didn’t have that energy to crank out songs like prince did

[@TheOmegaTheOmen]

They still sold the Batman Returns toys with happy meals at McDonald's here in Australia, I still have one of them.

[@SpeedbumpOG]

wait... WHY DO PENGUINS NEED PROTECTION FROM KEVIN COSTNER?!?

[@9kolaj1973]

Keaton's Bruce Wayne/Batman showed us that Batman was the true identity and Bruce Wayne was the made up/masked identity.

The video cut out before you explained how pampering the King penguins caused a spike in their population

I think it was unnecessary to terrify that bird by putting it in her mouth - impressive dedication or not.

I hope Ewan really did cut his hair, looks much better

Why did the vid shut off with him saying cos?

I have some of the batman McDonald's toys

[@iandalby4273]

I saw it years later on Sky Movies didn't fair well

[@ryansproviero]

I can see Robin Williams as The Joker but not as Jack Napier.

[@BrokenNoah]

In before the Arkham memes

[@danwoz]

Hopefully they won't go under like Eagle Moss leaving people with half built models after paying like $200 a month for over a year.

[@Politebanana1]

Funny they picked at this movie, yet the fans are obsessed with it. Like me! Nothings perfect, but this is pretty close

[@wired525]

Could not disagree more with the statement that the teaser trailer didn’t deliver. As someone who remembers, that trailer was truly incredible. Very less is more. Gave nothing away. Shut every doubter’s mouth that Keaton was a mistake. It primed everyone and lit a major explosion of excitement. The first time I ever heard of people paying to see a film for the trailer then leaving. Also your vid is misleading. Way too much time spent on Returns. Deserves its own video.

[@ScrewBallTheAlien]

“Vocal socialist” “All around stand up guy” Two things that can’t be true simultaneously.

[@wigs666]

I've never understood the love for Ebert's (or Siskel's for that matter) film critisism. He was a terrible writer with bugger-all understanding of what good film critisism is. Compare him to Kermode; it's chalk and cheese.

[@iandalby4273]

NEVER TO BE TOPPED???Well I think Chris Nolan did very well

[@christermyrberg3661]

No

[@IAmWBeard]

The Nolan movies were fun but they weren’t very Batman-ish. He wasn’t a detective at all. He was iron man in a bat suit. Thus far Keaton and Pattinson are the 2 most accurate Batmen. I grew up on Keaton but i think I’ll side with Pattinson. The noir influence in the movie just made it perfect. Can’t wait to see them move from fledgling Batman to full force of nature Batman.

[@Aivottaja]

It has been said Sean Young turned up on the set in full Catwoman costume to promote herself for the role. Tim Burton said: "Don't let her back here".

[@nak3dxsnake]

She could have been good but she probably freaked him out because she wasn't Helena Bonham Carter.

[@Aivottaja]

@@nak3dxsnakeShe probably would have been good. But was too weird about getting the role.

[@jdunn501jd]

Comparing the Dark knight to The Keaton Batman ticket sales is skewed. So more much more online ability than 1989.
