I saw this movie in the theater in 1989. You guys cannot imagine the energy in the audience. The entire theater howled when they heard him say: “I’m Batman”. There has never been such energy or excitement for a Batman movie before or since. This one will always be the best of the best.

[@3Kings_Industries]

I saw this in theaters too, but the theater on the weekend was so sparse, I didn't even know who this Chara yet was until afterwards. But, obviously became obsessed with the dark brooding icon.

[@dboslice]

I was born in 96 but I can definitely imagine. I still say this and Batman Returns was the best ones. Tim Burton's creativity is just different compared to the other ones. That's how I feel about Sam Raimi with Spiderman. Tobey Maguire was the best Spiderman.....imo

[@cincinnati6595]

I remember when Tim Burton cast Michael Keaton as Batman, I wasn't so concerned about whether or not he could pull off Batman, but I was hugely concerned whether or not Michael Keaton could pull off Bruce Wayne. At the time, Keaton had been in a lot of movies where he was expected to be "over the top" in his acting (not unlike Jim Carrey for a more recent example). His subdued performance as Bruce Wayne absolutely nailed it for me. Keaton was a spot on Batman and a spot on Bruce Wayne.

[@crimsonknight7011]

A movie of his from before Batman was on tv earlier called Mr Mom and he was a lot like how he acts as Bruce Wayne

[@ohauss]

What I loved about Keaton as Bruce Wayne was that for all his subdued performance, looking into his eyes, you could believe there was this steeled resolve and fire inside him. Contrary to many others, Keaton to me was really able to bring across that the Bruce Wayne persona is the show act and the Batman persona a much more authentic representation of his character.

[@celeboria]

Even without nostalgia goggles, Michael Keaton, just like Christopher Reeves as Superman, was born to play Batman. He didn't just deliver a performance, to many he made a childhood hero come to life on the big screen for the first time in 1989. You are going to love Batman Returns. It's even darker and Michelle Pfeiffer just steals the movie.

[@StinkyGreenBud]

Yup, still my favorite Batman.

[@Adrianne519]

Agreed! She is my favorite catwoman and what I find so awesome is she trained to use that whip, so anytime she uses it that's really her! I think who also does a really good job that not many people mention is Christopher Walkin, he has some of the best lines in the movie to me!

And why does she become Catwoman at all

[@WaltBTB]

What's crazy is how many people were complaining about and doubting the casting of both Keaton and Nicholson for this film when it was announced the movie was being made. So many people saw Keaton as only a comedic actor and Nicholson as a weird dramatic actor and gave neither of them any trust in playing their roles well enough to satisfy comic fans and casual movie goers alike. Fast forward to now, and they are both always in the conversation for who is the best Batman and Joker.

[@georgekappos7126]

what are you talking about? these actors were screen tested an given these roles. tim burton had a vision that included keaton an nicholson. i saw this opening night in theater. im now 42.

[@WaltBTB]

@@georgekappos7126 I'm not talking about those who made the film. I'm referring to the general public's reaction to the casting decisions. My best friend at the time and his father ran a comic book shop and I can't even begin to count how many times someone would be in there making some remark about how they can't believe these were the people they picked to play these roles. We were in high school when this released in the theater and I distinctly recall more than a few people saying how wrong they were for doubting.

[@slchance8839]

I remember that. the common insult was "Mr Mom is Batman?!" (For those of you too young, Keaton was best known for a movie called Mr. Mom where he because a male housewife) And ALSO, it was unheard of for an A-list Academy Winner/Oscar winner (Jack Nicholson) to do a comic book movie. Personally, Nicholson has been cool and talented his whole career...so I think once other actors saw an a-lister can do a comic book villain (and ace it), then it must be ok. After him....the floodgates open to good actors: Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones, Christopher Walken, Jim Carey. Nicholson made is OK for good actors to act in comic book movies.

[@georgekappos3222]

@@WaltBTB that's crazy to me. My comic book store which was action comics an games which was literally like 500 yards from my house. Nobody had anything to say but good things even after things like Mr mom or even night shift. Honestly, I don't think keaton would have made a bad joker due to his ability to be really intense. I never heard any of this even in the tabloids or any of those silly Hollywood shows.

[@danielallen3454]

People my age remember 1989 as the Summer of the Bat. This was *the* pop culture phenomenon. This was Avengers before the Avengers. Merch was everywhere, I saw the movie three times in theaters. You couldn't watch tv without six tie-in commercials every half-hour. Jack Nicholson was publicly declared President. *Everybody* was Batman for Halloween. It was an *amazing* summer.

[@kyraspikes7542]

The Summer of 89 was just insane, beginning with Indiana Jones opening for Memorial Day weekend! Just beautiful from there! Leathal Weapon 2 also came out that summer! I too remember the HUGE billboards all around New Orleans riding in on the West bank on the Crescent City Connection and the Huey P. Long Bridge.

[@wampa25]

Ever frame of this film is iconic. I mean, in 1989, Batman was everywhere. You couldn't leave the house without seeing someone wearing Batman merch. I, myself, had about 4 Batman T-shirts and 2 caps. People paid just to see the trailer. They'd find out what films the trailer was attached to, buy their ticket, watch the trailer and leave. Every Warner Bros. film that came out before Batman got a big bump in its box office. This movie also had 2 soundtracks. The first was the Prince soundtrack...songs featured in and inspired by the film. The 2nd...Danny Elfman's film score. And, yeah, I got 'em both.

[@nflpa79alum16]

The heavy breathing that Nicolson did when he says "remember you're my number one guy" is his impression of Jack Palance because he had that distinctive delivery style delivering his lines where he breathes heavily. Some of that was due to Jack Palance's severe wounds suffered in WWII. They had to basically rebuild his face and nasal cavities etc. Check out Jack Palance in Shane.

TUPAC even put it in his song LUNATIC from his 1st album 2Pacalypse Now. Prince was nominated for an Oscar for the soundtrack, I believe he won.

[@KTBroadcasting]

"I didn't ask'...such a pimp line! OMG! I love this movie. And Keaton remains MY Batman.

"What makes you think I want to hear you talk?"

With this joker, they really pay homage to the different side of comics. Because with the comics, you have a very comic book type character from the 60s to the 80s, in from the 80s to present you have a very gritty dark realistic joker. This was a perfect iteration of the former

The music is better, the costume is better, the villains (in my opinion, at least) are better; Gotham in general looks amazing, and it's just generally about as pure 'Tim Burton' as you could possible get. Not everybody likes it, mind you, so maybe you won't either, but personally, it's one of my favorites. I hope you watch it. 'Aquaman' is definitely worth watching. It's technically a follow-up to 'Justice League', but apart from one tiny throwaway mention of that movie, it is basically a stand-alone watch; everything you need to know about Aquaman is explained right up front. Jason Momoa (I hope I spelled that right) is great in the lead; it looks terrific, and there's some good villains. (Oh, and - you mentioned Willem Dafoe? He's in it.)

I remember my dad taking me to the theater to see this great time with my pops and it has my favorite batmobile design

[@aufhflskih6830]

this is my favorite movie of all time & upon watching this movie, you have just witnessed greatness. the danny elfman music & score is the most iconic superhero theme of all time & is to this day still the most recognizable. even people who have never heard the theme before know its batman, because it sounds so much like batman. now thats iconic. even the logo is iconic. and the joker actually has jokes.

[@ryan1976]

You have to do “Batman Returns” now. And for other good Burton films, I’d recommend “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure”, “Beetlejuice” and “Sleepy Hollow”.

[@christinegelabert1651]

@ryan1976• oh Hell yeah! I wasn't a big fan of sleepy hollow...I THINK they may have done Beetlejuice I'm not sure. BUT they definitely have to do Peewee's Big Adventure. Now....Do you have something to share with the rest of us Amazing Larry???

[@slchance8839]

I loved Sleepy Hollow. Give it a look.

[@TumultuousM]

Peewees big adventure. I'll second that

[@donaldjohnson1148]

If you've enjoyed this then you should check out Batman: The Animated Series. I came out about a year after this came out and it just continued a lot of the feel and vibe of Burton's Batman. Freaking Incredible cartoon series.

[@rednutz9161]

After Tim Burton and Michael Keaton the best parts of the Batman movies was the villains.

[@Mugthraka]

This version of the Batmobile is RAD as fuck.

[@DrewRycerz]

Absolutely loved this movie. Still do. The moment he crashes through the glass. Damn.

[@manicpanic3544]

Michael Keaton is my Batman.

[@Don-ol8ze]

Keaton is great because he plays Bruce Wayne and Batman as truly tortured, even borderline psychotic as a result of his childhood trauma.

Joker: You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight? Me: It's a faaaaaakkkkke!

[@jackcoleman1784]

I just wanted to say that whether you intended to or not you're watching the version with the original SFX master and I love you guys for it. The blu Ray release changed a lot of the sound effects.

[@ricklee5387]

Adam West the best Batman of my parents generation..... Micheal Keaton the best Batman of my generation......

[@crimsonknight7011]

Have you guys ever listened to Mark Hamills Joker voice? He did the Joker for Batman the Animated Series, Justice League, Batman Beyond Return of the Joker, also the video games Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. His voice is just so damn perfect.

[@avace917]

The crazy thing is the Joker you'd like to see was brought to life in Batman The Animated Series. In real life, Cameron Monaghan nailed it in Gotham as Jerome

[@josetheragood3213]

If you want the perfect balance between gritty and comic booky just watch the Batman: The Animated Series.

[@shainewhite2781]

Several Directors were considered for the job before Burton was chosen: Steven Spielberg Joe Dante Richard Donner James Cameron Ridley Scott Alex Cox David Cronenberg Terry Gilliam Martin Scorsese Ivan Reitman Guy Hamilton Tony Scott David Lynch Brian De Palma John Carpenter Tobe Hooper Wes Craven Walter Hill John McTiernan And Robert Zemeckis.

[@sammybear7100]

Joe Dante would have been awesome for this lol they should totally watch his movie "the 'Burbs"

[@jermainemartinez8282]

Hmmm Wes Craven Batman interesting

[@isislaz]

This came out when I was in 3rd grade. My folks took us to see it when it came out. That was the first movie I saw Jack Nicholson in.
