Batmania -- Batman [1989] movie release --

Short little news clip. Less than 2 minutes.
I don't like to these short 2 minute videos but they seem popular.
Batman [directed by Tim Burton] opened to record box offices grosses in June 1989.

The summer of 1989 was one of the most loaded in movie history. At one point, you had Batman, Lethal Weapon 2, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, Ghostbusters II, Parenthood, Licence To Kill, and Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade all in theaters at the same time. That's crazy.

golden age of quality blockbusters

Don t forget back to the future 2 and hulk hogan no holds barred

[@midnightradio1707]

Watching Batman 89 in the movie theater when you were 10 was like riding your first roller-coaster. Well done Mr. Burton and crew!

[@tfajsh]

The late 80s and 90s was an incredible time to be young!

[@Frank-Einstein-Madman]

I was 18 in 89 and as a comic book geek, Batmania was my Woodstock!

[@vampirerobot]

Well said!!

[@Peppers19781978]

Summer of 1989 Batman was everywhere. I was a huge Joker fan so it was amazing to walk into any store and see Joker stuff. I went to Myrtle Beach that summer and you couldnt escape Batman merch. Such an awesome time.

[@jayquanvo5134]

I was 7 yrs old when the film came out. It was a buzz in the air. I remember the weekend of the release the George St cinemas in Sydney Australia in 1989 were absolutely packed with lines all the way down the street in both ways. People dressed in Batman and Joker shirts, hats etc. Stores were selling anything Batman related and it was just flying off the shelves. Every cinema was showing mostly Batman on their screens to satisfy the demand. There’s only a couple of times where I could compare the absolute craze and hype of Batmania in 1989. Possibly Jurassic Park, Independence Day, Star Wars prequels, The Dark Knight and Avengers.

I want the movie experience to be like this again

[@KadeBronson]

Never going to happen again.

[@KenMasters.]

@@KadeBronson The last films to ever do that for anyone is Spider-Man 1, 2 & 3. Well, Iron Man… I’ll leave that one for the others to decide.

[@KadeBronson]

@@KenMasters. None of those were actually the phenomenon that Batman 89 was.

[@KenMasters.]

@@KadeBronson I can see your point for Robert Downey Jr's superhero film… But Tobey Maguire's?! • Both Jack Nicholson's Joker and Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin are equals. • Both films have Danny Elfman's epic musical scores. • Both have the most iconic costume designs. • No other actor for Batman and Spider-Man has ever topped Keaton and Maguire. • Both have cancelled sequels that are tragically lost forever within the unused scripts.

[@KadeBronson]

@@KenMasters. Not saying they are not good films or iconic...but they were not the cultural event that Batman was in 89. How old were you in 89?

35 years ago, today, this movie came out and changed the world forever

He said radd awww that's so 80's

[@jalenjohnson1662]

@Vampire Robot This is my first time visiting your channel. What a treasure trove of rare footage. Thanks for taking the time to upload this clip in particular. If you have any more videos on the Batmania of 89 please upload them!

[@benwatson6729]

That movie came at the right year as that year celebrated Batman's 50th anniversary.

R.I.P. Prince (1958-2016) 🙏🙏😭😭😭😢

[@rondavis5012]

Yeah, the summer of 89 was huge, I remember it as if it was yesterday. I saw Batman twice.

[@drewtheunspoken3988]

This movie literally changed my life. It started me down a path of geek culture still going strong today. It also informed my aesthetic tastes going into the '90s. It was the first movie I went to see multiple times in theaters. 5 times.

[@nathanstroud2223]

"anesthetic tastes" Damn autocorrect!😂

[@drewtheunspoken3988]

@nathanstroud2223 in this case, it was auto-suggest. I should really learn to proofread before I post.

[@nathanstroud2223]

[@drewtheunspoken3988]

Me too.

We should get another batman 1989 hype again in 2024

[@jonathantorres4085]

It really must’ve been fun to watch Batman 1989 Superman 1978 and Star Wars 1977 in theaters

[@ronald3419]

I remember the 1966 TV series and the movie that came out based on the show. Deja vu all over again!

[@SoCalFreelance]

Ahhh, fond memories of being a kid in the 80's. 🥰

[@damin9913]

People just don't know how important batman1989 was😢

[@GorillaWhale]

What a time to be alive I wish I was old enough to experience it

[@BradyA1124]

This was awesome! I had the sheets

[@damin9913]

This was a true batman the hype was real not like the fake hype we get nowadays

[@user-zh8kd9vk3m]

I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid. I was fairly young, but I remember.

[@HHH-ye1ro]

That Batman soundtrack got worn out in my cassette player.

[@jeanemlicar]

Wish I could go back in time to relive this moment all over again. A true enjoyment for all Die hard Batman fans.

[@jjrj8568]

The Dark Knight was a masterpiece, but the "Summer of the Bat" will always be 1989, not 2008; in terms of cultural phenomenon, it doesn't compare.

[@timothy790110]

thats the best white man voice ive ever heard. he got me.

[@KadeBronson]

I love seeing this.

[@Nick64266]

I wasn’t alive when this came out, but I do remember the hype for The Dark Knight and it was fantastic!

Why no anniversary theater showing yet?

In comparison, films nowadays like Dune are just cheap hype.

[@alftanner866]

This is alotta Bat-shit! Hah!

[@Anarchist86ed]

It wasn't that great.

[@1God1Christ]

You have to keep in mind the time in which it came out. The only live action Batman that existed and people knew was Adam West.

[@nalday2534]

it was greater. cope

[@corymiller536]

It was the best Batman ever

[@patrickc3419]

My own thoughts? For all the films done, they just never quite nailed it with the casting for Batman. Keaton was kind of boring, Kilmer & Clooney were awful, and many people (including myself) look back on Bale’s ridiculous overacting. I think the safest way to have done it was with a no-name actor.
