Batman(1989) movie clip : Long Dining Table Scene

[@ethanlivemere1162]

It's kind of deeper than that though, since this is his dining room it shows that he doesn't usually have company over that often. I assume he only has one as they were eating in the kitchen afterwards.

[@josefgonzales4439]

I have a 1,300 sqft house with rooms I never go in.

Usually those are the rooms where serial killers or ghosts find a new home.

[@kingskid1985]

I have always loved the relationship between Bruce and Alfred. You can tell that Alfred really loves Bruce like his own son. Alfred was always there for Bruce ever since his parents were murdered. Alfred is, in my opinion, the best supporting character in the Batman universe.

[@gamergossip-r1m]

I agree

[@piercelindenberg6842]

Completely agreed.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Alfred is a great character. He's not just a butler, but a father figure, a mentor and a philosopher to Bruce.

[@willins87]

He is his own son!

[@vicdeakins2238]

Yes! And I absolutely love Michael Gough’s Alfred as much as Michael Caine’s

[@privateeyesfilms]

“Some of it is very much me...” you know he’s talking about the bat cave.

[@kingskid1985]

Yeah. Bruce Wayne is just a costume that the Batman wears...

[@sherie2793]

This is, in my opinion, the best scene in any of the Batman movies ever. Purely because it gives us an insight of how close he and Alfred are and because it personalized a hero who is usually scene as cold and morbid. I absolutely love everything about it and it's simplistic beauty.

[@danielappleton153]

Although he wouldn't put it that way, Alfred is the father - figure that the murder of his parents took from Wayne. The only quibble I EVER, ever had with Burton's Batman was making Jack Napier the murderer of Bruce Wayne's parents. A departure from canon.

[@chocolateface8664]

I think George clooney is the beSt

[@PeterStellenberg]

You also have to give it to the set piece and its symbolism. The long table, large dining room, really cold and unpersonal, then the smaller kitchen where it feels cosy and sincere. All of that, portraying layers of Bruce Wayne's mind. The facade and the heart.

[@hkr0065]

I started warming up to this movie more as an adult. I liked it as a kid, but the Wayne stuff bored me. As an adult, I can appreciate the visual symbolism much more clearly now. I like how much of an enigma Keaton's Wayne is. I think the contrast betwen this nebbish normal guy and his extravagant wealth attracted Vicki to him. It made her almost want to 'figure' him out on a primal level. I like how the movie allows us to infer a lot of things rather than explain everhthing to us. I love the Nolan films, but the beauty of Batman 89 (and Returns) is that it allows the viewer to come up with their own conclusions about who Wayne is.

[@piercelindenberg6842]

I love this scene!!!

[@ViceJosh1.9]

Nobody has done a better job at nailing Alfred's character than Michael Gough. R.I.P.

[@TMF979Resurge]

I'd say Michael Caine and Jeremy Irons weren't anything to sneeze at, But as far as Efren Zimbalist Jr.'s DCAU version, but in live action, no one does it better than him

[@luishirschlieb6083]

Fan theory: the long table represents the vast levels of distance that this bruce wayne puts between himself and others, vicky gets his guard down and he abandons the table when he feels comfortable enough to move on to a smaller one (so to speak).

[@PTSmash]

You hit the nail on the head.

[@joop69fainth44]

that's interesting and true

[@AnnaLVajda]

I think it just shows how socially awkward and isolated he is.

[@HunGerMovies]

fan theory: it was a tactic he used, because he knew Vicky wants to get closer to him if there is a big distance like this - reverse psychology in dating. He wanted to bang her, WITH SCIENCE!

[@B.Moore-Ready]

This was the very first practice of social distancing 😬👊---------------👋😧

[@PeyserConlee]

Keaton does his double role brilliantly and believably. Whenever he's masking his inner self under the shell of a millionaire playboy, he is warm and smiley, making women laugh. But in the bat suit, he's tough, silent and brooding, releasing the darkness in his soul. Even when he's Wayne, you can still see just a glimpse of his dark side, you can tell that he is hiding something, but even then you could not believe that he's actually Batman without knowing.

[@Anomalous602]

PeyserConley X Vicki was kinda right in this scene to spot something out on the whole and stuff doesn’t seem like Bruce at all which pretty much says that he doesn’t hide too much well when a woman gets to know him.

[@garyconner6151]

So many people.could be a death wish hero.just give them the body armor and weapons to revenge the wrong no matter their race.let them Clea the place up.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

That's what I like about Michael Gough's Alfred. He's not just a butler and father figure to Bruce Wayne, he's also a mentor to Bruce and a philosopher.

[@vinayseth1114]

You know isn't it strange we've never got a cinematic Bruce Wayne who's anywhere near as psychologically complicated as Michael Keatons? He plays the aloof, completely out of touch but not ignorant or idiotic billionaire yet shows a rare amount of depth which shows us glimours of his dark side when needed.

[@TMF979Resurge]

Anyone who knows anything knows Alfred is by far more than just "the help". He is the backbone behind Bruce. He is persevered as both himself and as Batman for as long as he had because he's had Alfred's support and concern

[@bluesman6891]

Vicki: "You know, all this stuff in this house, doesn't even seems like you at all." Bruce: " Some rooms are much like me, some it isn't." It really showed Bruce's personality who was uncomfortable where he's living.

[@mckenziepictures]

In 1989, some people thought Michael Keaton was a _poor_ choice for portraying Batman. Remember: The only Superhero movie franchise before this was Christopher Reeve's Superman-All four of them-and Christopher Reeve was in perfect health. Imagine Reeve with his 6'4" frame standing next to Keaton's 5′ 9″ height. The Dark Knight would need milk crates just to have an eye-to-eye conversation with the Man of Steel.

She wasn't even there.😢😢😢😭😭😭She-- She was in her last 80s movie was "Crazy Legs" Aka "Off The Mark" she didn't know when she coming back on the screen that time that year. Uhh-- I-- I didn't know her for the first time I saw her on the first episode of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine." And Umm, um, Tim Burton filmed this movie a year before it released that summer of 1989. I can't watch this.😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 The only Batman movie I put on is "Batman Returns" was the 1992 version of Terry Farrell. Until Batman Returns coming up, Terry Farrell will be merge. I use the Youcut apps and Video Merge apps on the phone. Batman Returns came out last year the same year is one of Terry Farrell movie like "Hellraiser 3."

[@kassandrabolz8220]

Wow, Bruce Wayne practiced social distancing with guests like about 30 years before the COVID-19 pandemic even existed. Guy does social distancing before it was strictly necessary just because he's shown to be a socially awkward billionaire in public. And wow, Bruce you have a long dining table where you and Vicki sit on either side. It's a great representation how Bruce Wayne always keeps his girlfriends at arm's length due to his secret vigilante work as Batman and not wanting them to be involved in it at all due to their safety. But he's grown to trust Vicki enough to at least later in the film as Batman, let her into The Bat-Cave and I mean before this point, he only allowed Alfred in due to him being the most trusted person in his life even caring for him for when right after his parents were murdered. Bruce Wayne practiced social distancing before it was cool, definitely.

[@animatedink2529]

In my opinion, Keaton played a pretty realistic Bruce Wayne. Think about it, a man who never recovered from the trauma of watching his parents gunned down in front of him, dresses up like a bat and beats up criminals in the night? He WOULD be a social awkward, very distant, erratic and aloof guy. While Bale did a far superior job as Bruce than he did bat man, I felt like in public, he was just way to charismatic, eloquent and refined. Like, he really didn't have a problem making friends or at least trying to get people to like him. This Bruce is more believable. He struggles finding a balance for his ordinary life and his caped crusader life.
