Batman 1989 VHS commercial

Would’ve been great if WB added this as a special intro on the DVD and Bluray releases.

[@davidsavage5630]

That really should be a bonus feature lol. Remaster the ads in 4K and everything with the option to play them before the movie. I've seen these ads so many times that it's weird to not hear the movie starting after them. I'm pretty sure I watched that VHS until it turned to dust..

1989 i was 10 years old my dad took me to see Batman in the theater, i remember this playing before the movie, the diet coke and bugs and daffy cartoon ad for warner bros, 29 years ago. brings back memories. That Christmas i got Batman everything, the movie on vhs, movie poster, hat, multiple shirts, toy utility belt that had a gun that shot rubber darts, toy Batmobile. It was my favorite Christmas ever.

so you were born with the first Superman movie was was out, right

[@The_Chameleon]

@@jonathantorres4085 i was born in 1979 one year after Superman: The Movie came out but i remember watching it as a kid probably by age 5

[@jonathantorres4085]

@@The_Chameleon well lucky you I just wish I saw Batman 1989 and Superman 1978 in theaters. It’s a shame for Christopher Reeves accident we could’ve had a Batman vs Superman movie. with Michael Keith and Christopher Reeve and yes I would like if possible, Linda Carter as wonder woman

[@The_Chameleon]

@@jonathantorres4085 that would have been a good movie

[@jonathantorres4085]

@@The_Chameleon and you know it would’ve been an awesome movie because at the time DC would not have been trying to copy marvel so I know it would’ve been successful

I still have the pamphlet they handed out at theatres when Batman premiered.

The movie isn't complete without this, just like how the original TMNT movie isn't complete without that Pizza Hut commercial before the movie.

Happy 35th Batman ‘89!

[@Usurper99]

So much nostalgia. I must have watched my VHS copy of this movie dozens, hundreds of times.

Every time I watch this movie, I remember these ads from my VHS. ❤

Good memories from back then.

One of the last major releases to feature the Warner communications byline as time Warner was born in 1990

[@darthgoku90]

Wow, this must have been one of the last times Mel Blanc voiced Bugs and Daffy, cause he died in 1989 (RIP). You can tell its him and not one of his later replacement voice actors because how deep-sounding Bugs and Daffy are due to Mel's age.

[@JCBro-yg8vd]

Well, there are a few instances where I think you can hear Jeff Bergman taking over.

[@darthgoku90]

@@JCBro-yg8vd You might be right. They're last lines about the 900 number there do seem to sound more high-pitched than earlier.

[@dreamquesttv]

Yeah you can DEFINITELY hear when the changes happen. This may have been Blanc's VERY last performance as these characters. 😢

[@finnhudson7735]

Nobody calls that number anymore.

[@chancemholton6611]

Alfred was so elegant

[@cyrus2546]

$1.50 per minute in 1989 is $3.82 per minute in 2024.

[@manofthesword7170]

1.50 for each minute added , funk that , I wouldn't pay that in 2016 let alone 1989

[@amyleetasticobsesseddiehar1994]

i'm watching my batman VHS now.

[@The_Chameleon]

I still have all my VHS tapes including Batman. First 3 movies i ever owned that started my movie collection. Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) Batman (1989) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

[@averyegregiousdinosuar9196]

I called the number today and it Didn't work. :(

[@lordbeerus807]

I wonder if that number is still in service? Haha

[@StevieRomano]

Did anyone here ever get the catalogue?

[@WalkbetwixtWorlds]

Thank you thank you thank you, heck it's Thanksgiving!

[@BrendanSith1997]

Daffy Duck: Hold it! Hold it right there! Let's see if you really ready to watch this Ben 10 movie. OK popcorn, check! Sold drink, check! Ben 10 ball cap, aha! You can't watch the Ben 10 movie with out a Ben 10 ball cap. Bugs Bunny: Listen, duck. What if they order Ben 10 ball cap so they have it next time? Daffy Duck: Well uh. Bugs Bunny: Here's all you had to do folks, just sent for this. Ah hum! [Shaping fingers] The Ben 10 Catalog. Use it to order a Ben 10 ball cap. And while you're add it, you can Ben 10 stuff like t shirts, toys, comic books, ties, That's nek ties! It's all in a Ben 10 Catalog. Witch you will get now by dialing this nine hundred and ten number. So when you get a chance, call- Daffy Duck: No! No! They had to call now! They can't watch the Ben 10 movie until they order the Ben 10 Catalo- You're despicable! Bugs Bunny: Don't forget to call folks.

[@StrikeU]

+AtlantaCommercials96 I thought that same thing! Lol

[@PeachWookiee]

"DIET COOOOKE!!!!"

[@TheArigreen23]

kind of insane that they charged $1.50 a minute in 1989 for people to give them free money for advertising lol 😂 adjusting for inflation if these calls took, say, five minutes then that’s like charging people an extra $20 for the privilege of buying some merch! but yes 90s kid here the nostalgia is undeniable don’t get me wrong

[@rcatstott]

haha i love this...

[@kascnef]

What happens if I dial this number

[@carsonsmovieworld3356]

straight to voicemail

[@GlAcKeNbUrGeN]

Was this the last time Mel Blank voiced these characters?

[@CoreyWE]

Gotta be close. You can definitely hear his voice starting to falter in his characters
