3 words.. NEVER GETS OLD.

[@Romans10910Love]

No doubt

[@sandykemp7562]

Batman & Batman Returns are still the best Batman movies in my opinion. They were way ahead of their time. They were “dark” before it was a thing but they also had proper acting in them. Dialogue. Story and world building. They weren’t just endless action sequences with some lame humour squeezed in to pad them out. Just wish WB and DC would have let Burton make one more in his style rather than selling out to boost toy sales.

Jack Nicholson: "This town needs an enemy.." Heath ledger: "This city deserves a better class of criminals."

[@Ceolskog]

Adam Riggs "This city deserves a better class of laxatives".

[@yamchadragonball6983]

He says Enema: "An enema also known as clyster is the injection of fluid into the lower bowel by way of the rectum."

[@tian297]

Michael Keaton: :O

[@JDobbsy79]

Ahsan Hashmi you mean ENEMA

[@KH4444444444N]

First of all. The line is "this town needs an enema" and secondly, Ledger's joker was but a shadow of Jack Nicholson's reign of terror. A criminal of absolute wanton craziness. Terrifying.

[@GallorKaal]

Jack Nicholson as Jack Nicholson

[@darthvenom305671]

[@BloodoperaBlackvomit]

So, 'born to play'?

[@leafyishereisdumbnameakath4259]

you mean as The Joker. He did a good job don't undermine his work

Best joker

Jack Nicholson being paid to be himself!

This is a masterpiece of a trailer! If this aired in the 80's this would have been the number one movie ever

[@MarkyMarc89]

This is the first movie I ever saw in June 1989 and is still my *FAVORITE* as Keaton plays him as a more silent guardian and watchful protector while Bale plays him as such a loud and angry character with throat cancer. Tim Burton and Michael Keaton were the ones who first started and forever changed Batman into a dark and serious character in ‘89 and as far as Bat-Gadgets go, nothing is cooler than the ‘89 and ‘92 Batmobile Tim Burton designed compared to Bale and Affleck’s tank. Unlike Nolan’s, Tim Burton’s Batmobile had a very creative bat-motif to it with: _wings, a jet-turbine engine, spherical bombs, a pair of forward-facing Browning machine guns, side-mounted disc launchers, and chassis-mounted shinbreakers, side-mounted grappling hook launchers and a central "foot" capable of lifting and rotating it 180°. In addition to its armor plated body, a heavy armor cocoon, oil slick dispensers, smoke emitters, and in extereme circumstances, a "Batmissile" mode to avoid capture._ None of the other 6 so called Batmobiles can top that. Tim also chose by far the best person _(Danny Elfman)_ to create the most iconic Batman theme also used in Batman TAS. If it wasn’t for Tim Burton’s dark and creative idea of how The Dark Knight should be, Batman would still be dancing in blue and gray tights on the screen.

[@MarkyMarc89]

*I also find Jack Nicholson to be the best Joker for 6 reasons:* *1. Nicholson's Joker was actually very funny.* _Nolan’s and DCEU’s Joker played by Heath Ledger and Jared Leto barely had a good sense of humor._ *2. Nicholson's Joker was incomparably closer to the authentic comic book character.* _Nolan's and DCEU’s Joker was a completely new character, unrelated to the original in almost every aspect of his interpretation._ *3. Jack's Joker killed more people in this movie.* _So much for the other alleged "darker and scarier Jokers"._ *4. Jack Nicholson's Joker had a very interesting On-Screen Origin, and a motive for revenge (so did Batman).* _Ledger and Leto’s Joker has nothing._ *5. Jack was an euphoric type of lunatic, closer to Schizophrenic, rather than Ledger's and Leto’s anarchistic Psycho type.* _Nicholson wins again._ *6. Finally, Jack Nicholson's Joker was classier, more stylish, he had better makeup, more convincing smile, was an expert chemist, and his weapons were absolutely cooler compared to Nolan’s and DCEU’s Jokers.* _Just to be clear, Nicholson plays a more comic accurate version as well as DC Comics #168 (1951) introduced the Joker's first origin story. During Jack Napier’s final heist, he vanishes after falling into a vat of chemicals to escape Batman resulting in disfigurement leading him to adopt the name "Joker", from the playing card figure he came to resemble. The other versions are just unnecessary modifications, usually ranging far away from the original story._

[@wigs666]

This isn't a modern trailer... you didn't give away the entire plot of the movie. (Seriously though; really fine work here!)

[@ppeter1982]

Yeah, four minutes to show all the critical scenes, introduce all the characters and show the big explosion at the end.

[@jeffersoncarvalho82]

Yeah, he did...the whole movie is in this trailer! But It was amazing.

[@MARHVINXII]

this is simply ... AMAZING !!!!

[@robertjones3700]

Love this movie. Hard to believe that it's been over 30 years ago. WOW

And why did you use the crappy music from the Nolan films? This is the OG Batman movie! The one with the score that sounds like batman! So why didn't you use it?!

Absolutely awesome edit!!! Loved this, will share over and over - great stuff - from an 80's kid :)

Am I the only one that got chills hearing the perfectly timed "You made me first" ?

[@squidcorps]

The only thing I wish all those earlier Batman films had done was actually shown that classic friendship between Batman and Commissioner Gordon. Commissioner Gordon just seemed like such an unimportant character in that film series. And how the heck did Harvey Dent go from being black to white? Lol

More like: How did Harvey Dent go from white to black? Lol

+beholdnyquil What are you guys talking about? That's Lando isn't it? XD

If this was the trailer in the 1980's then this movie would of made SOOOO much money!!!!! like SOOOO much!!! Like WAYYYY more that it originally did!!!

[@v10lentv10let]

The trailer honestly wouldn't make much of a difference it partly would have given the public more interest but they were going out of the way just to see the trailer because there wasn't much known about the film apart from some of the cast and that there was finally going to be a dark batman movie.

[@bmla88]

Emmanuel Goldstein i can vouch for this. Last day of class before summer it was the buzz. I remember everyone wearing batman shirts. It was a phenomenon

[@ontologicallysteve7765]

It's clear you weren't around in the summer of '89. Batman was *everywhere* and on *everything* . I was 10 years old. This movie made as much as it possibly could----- with or without a trailer of this caliber. In 1989 there was no internet. Back then, word of mouth was the best form of advertisement...and the words coming out of everyone's mouth sent people to the theaters in *droves* . I remember seeing (and standing) in lines that were wrapped around 3 city blocks-----just to see this movie for the second and third time. The trailer makes little difference and your logic is irrelevant. Not trying to be a jerk, it's just a fact.

[@dahwriter]

Brilliantly illustrating how modern trailers show so much of the film you can save your money, as you've already seen every plot point and pivotal scene.

[@Wirralwonderer]

Wow! This is incredible!

[@scanlon645]

Nicely done, still the best Batman movie

[@kee1000]

Great job! Where did you manage to find the dialogue without the score behind it?

[@tajholmes]

Not quite sure how I didn't see this trailer earlier, have been looking for someone who's used the Nolan OST with the Burton films to no avail for quite some time. I really enjoyed it, I do agree that it may be a bit too long but I bet if you did one of these for Batman Returns it'd be close to perfection!

[@varunemani]

No Keaton.. no Batman.. PERIOD!

i thought they were guna go with the whole inception "brom!" thing because after inception, a couple other movies has some version of the brom in their trailers. some of them were a little more of an alarm like sound, but it was still used with the same rhythm with no other sounds involved.

NIce trailer!!! You got the talent man!

[@angelsimone1278]

Health Ledger and Jack Nicolson nailed the Joker Still scares me every time! However I am so glad that Christopher Nolan saved Batman Trilogy! Health Ledger was amazing as the Joker! I wish they would have continued these series where as Joel Shcumacher destroyed Batman! Thank you Christopher Nolan for making Batman for what he truly his (Christian Bale) RIP Health Ledger You will be missed as the Joker*** GOOD TRAILER WITH THE OLD SOUNDTRACK THE DARK KNIGHT RISES*****

Really good trailer, but the Dark Knight soundtrack really doesn't hold a candle to Dany Elfman's.

[@thankthelord4536]

Can someone tell me why this film's production is so confusing with the time period? Most of the costumes of the citizens are dress from 1940s to the dress of the present, which in this case 1989. Even the cars are mixed match. Didn't notice this until today.

[@danishbirsujlana4826]

[@tamimhossain6682]

why the dark knight music!?!?, it is shit compared to the classis 1989 batman theme! other thn tht, gud job.

[@phantomdug]

"...and where is the Batman!?"

[@SeasideDetective2]

This trailer, while very good, is a little misleading in that it implies that BATMAN will be a heavily sociopolitical film like TAXI DRIVER. It was somewhat like that, but once the Joker took over the story it became a full-blown popcorn film. It also implies that Vicki Vale joins Batman's crusade against the Joker, when in fact she is far more preoccupied with Batman himself and cooperates with Batman only reluctantly. And while the film would have been tremendous if Harvey Dent had been a major character (and in fact in the novelization he pretty much starts running the city after the Mayor suffers a nervous breakdown and Commissioner Gordon's men are hospitalized after the Joker poisons their coffee), that was sadly not so. Billy Dee Williams had the potential to be the near-equal of Aaron Eckhardt.

[@LegoandmoviereviewsBlogspot]

You make Harvey Dent seem more important in the film, people would be pissed when they find out he does nothing in it.
