People always talk about how great Micheal Keaton was as Batman. They forget how awesome Michael Gough as Alfred.

[@AshrafAnam]

And Jack Nicholson portrayed the only accurate Joker

[@SammyRXIII]

Best Alfred ever. Even Batman & Robin wasn't entirely bad because of him.

[@Believer1980]

This the best Alfred as a father figure we have had on the live screen . The Alfred that called Bruce and all the Robins "His Sons" that we see in the comics. All we were short of , was seeing Alfred with a shotgun , an him telling Bruce that he will never find all of Alfred's guns , so don't waste your time looking, that we also got in the comics.

[@shainewhite2781]

Michael Keaton: "I'm Batman." Me whenever he says that line: "Damn straight."

You're gay. But I agree.

[@axelfirestorm2080]

One of the most iconic lines in comic book movie history imo. Along with Joker's "Where does he get those wonderful toys?" and of course, "Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?" The movie is simply epic in every way. I remember seeing in the theater when it came out, the line to get in was insanely long. I think it took like an hour to get in there. The movie was THAT big. But totally worth it.

[@plpinkham]

@@axelfirestorm2080 It's crazy that it wasn't in the script. Michael Keaton improvised it. It was supposed to be "I am vengeance" or something.

[@thedarkknight2221]

Michael Keaton as Batman is one of the biggest gambles that ever paid off in movie history. Keaton was mostly known for comedies, so casting him as Batman understandably made studio executives nervous. But it worked!

[@marcusfridh8489]

And the only live action rendation of Batman we had prior to this was the Adam West 1966 tv series. Wich was alot more comical and light hearted and was seen as cheesy and tacky before nostalgia gave it the badge of honour it has now.

[@leonardobraynen1524]

Some would say the same about Bruce Willia being a comedian before *DIE HARD!*

@ true, true. I wonder what comedian today could make a great transition to action star who has never done an action movie?

That's a weird way of writing Danny DeVito...

[@mikealvarez2322]

Michael Keaton play Beetlejuice in 1988 then turned around and became Batman in 1989. Now that's versatility.😮

[@KubusSc7]

Almost as if he is an actual actor who can play different roles. XD

[@ujamaa4]

The funniest part of this movie to me is after the scene when he kills the guy with the joy buzzer, says "I'm glad you're dead" and busts out laughing, the scene keeps going after he walks of screen and you hear him off screen going "I'M GLAD HE'S DEAD HAHAHA" . That cracks me up every time

[@MrBlackBono]

That’s scare me and funny too

[@adamscott7354]

A lot of people are shocked by the whole thing but it’s like, given how he’s alone but acting like there’s an audience and just dropping an insane line like that, not giving a f&ck It’s just so damn FUNNY

He was a little hot under the collar always gets me.

[@waywardmind]

It's hard to describe how insane everyone was over this Batmobile. It was EVERYTHING. At the age of 10, I drew it incessantly. This entire movie occupied our imaginations for months after it came out.

[@RidgeR5]

This and the Batmobile from TAS (which was derived from this one) are the penultimate examples of the Batmobile. Nothing else comes close.

[@JeffreyWall-u8c]

At 62, I still have this Batmobile, and the TV series one, in large scale diecast sitting on the shelves in my den.

[@slothkng]

It's funny you say that the museum part hurt your heart. Jack Nicholson is a HUGE art buff. He's been on record saying he hated filming that part 😂

[@tedflanc1024]

There have been many iterations of Alfred Pennyworth throughout the years, but most people agree that Michael Gough was one of the best of all time. Rather than being a badass who trained Bruce, or a wise stoic who gave sage council, Michael Gough portrayed him with a warm and caring grandfatherly love that gave comfort and support whenever it was needed. RIP Michael G!!!

"You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"--The Joker, 1989

[@strangebiped]

Which means: Have you ever LET your THOUGHTS Take you over into the REALM of PURE EVIL & then do something EVIL?

[@herodaresfire4512]

Harley Quinn debuted in Batman the Animated Series a few years later, so she didn't exist yet when this came out.

[@fallibleangel9101]

Yep, and even then was supposed to be a one-off character. Thank you Arleen Sorkin.

[@callmejacob3234]

@herodaresfire4512 I feel like people forget how special Batman: The Animated Series truly is. It's a shame because it's one of the greatest adaptations of a comic book character ever. It does Batman's character more justice than any of the films, in my opinion. Kevin Conroy is the definitive Batman.

[@TrevorHolohan]

Vicki Vale: "You're insane!" Joker: "And I thought that I was a Pisces!" Ingenious writing and such an iconic moment in any "Batman" movie. 100%! 👍👍👍

[@AshrafAnam]

Yeah, iconic line. I'm Pisces too.

[@8RBrain]

Movie fun fact: The set for the "Axis chemicals" raid is the same set used for the "processing facility" in ALIENS (1986). The catwalk where "Jack" falls into the vat of green acid is where the Marines are first attacked by the xenomorphs. The catwalk where Batman throws the little smoke bomb and "disappears" is the same spot where Vasquez says "Let's Rock!!!!!" in ALIENS. The scene where the Batmobile leaves Axis as it's blowing up is the same area where Ripley drives the APC and crushes the xeno.

[@ink-cow]

That little laughing bag at the end confuses newer audiences. In the 1980s everybody knew, it was a popular novelty item you could buy at any magic shop or Spenser's Gifts at the mall, so it was a nice cute macabre joke that Joker had one laughing* with his body broken on the ground. It's in the same category as whoopee cushions, hand buzzers and squirting flowers (other things Joker enjoys). After movie commentary: Kristen shows us how Harley Quinn happens. * I originally had "laughing at him" there, but as somebody pointed out the effect is more that he's still laughing, which I agree with.

[@dejavu2030]

U had me at squirting flowers

[@pacmon5285]

I never looked at it as it laughing *at* joker. To me, it was just an extension of joker continuing to laugh even through death.

[@ink-cow]

@@pacmon5285 Still laughing in death is probably a better way to put it. Either way, it's a creepy moment achieved by using a gag item that was common at the time, which is all I'm really trying to say. It's a shame when great jokes become obscure by the passage of time.

Anybody else remember the great "Batman" game on the NES as well? I loved it. One of my all-time favourite superhero video games ever. As well as the "Arkham Trilogy". 👍👍👍

@PhenomProductions-tn5fj well the late Shirley Walker was a former composer for Danny Elfman. She composed the entire BTAS score. The first theme had elements of Elfman's Batman theme.

I think Ledger has never played the Joker, he just played a Thug that we could maybe name "Drooling Bulldog" .. but seriously, thats not the Joker for me. Very much as Henry Cavill played "Flying Batzilla" but not Superman. I mean, Joker for me always had some kind of elegance, and seriously .. Ledgers constant drooling was just annoying or even disgusting, but for sure not elegant. And then of course he made his "jokes" .. did Ledger even tried ? He was maybe mean and brutal, but i can't remember that there was the fun parts into it.

I'm sure someone else has mentioned this, but the fact that Keaton (a fellow Pittsburgher) couldn't move his head was because of a limitation in the suit. Fun fact: the suit was made by the same guy who did the stillsuits in Dune (1984), Bob Ringwood. Only mentioning this because I just read a great book about the making of the old Dune film.

The impact this movie has had on the character is very big. From the definitive Batman score, the aesthetic for Gotham City and the best Batmobile design. Although admittedly not everything about it has aged the best like Batman casually killing people or Joker being the one who killed Batman's parents. Plus the relationship with Vicki Vale was kinda forgettable. Although it's because of this film that we got the greatest adaptation of Batman outside the comics which is Batman The Animated Series.

Nice reaction - the 2nd milestone for A-list superhero movies - 1978 Superman showed it was possible, to bring such a character out of the comic and into a mainstream Hollywood movie, striking the right balance - 1989 I think was the first such movie that promised instead to take the audience and bring them inside the comic book - was this the 1st auteur superhero movie, very much sold as a Tim Burton movie, w a dose of lunacy, w his Fritz Lang Expressionist cityscape - and Burton shocked fans by choosing Beetlejuice as Bruce, someone crazy enough to dress as a bat As I recall, apart from Burton's vision and the promise of a more serious comic book vision, the main selling point was Jack, one of the biggest stars of the day - that casting on its own was high concept enough to sell the whole movie -

As such, he got to have two girlfriends at the same time! The damsel duo known as "Sugar & Spice"! Drew Barrymore as "Sugar" dressed in white as befitting her moniker, with "Spice" played by actress Debi Mazar, who wore spicy colors. ❤ They were a surprise to me because my "Sugar & Spice" comics were about a sister and her brother who were small/young children like "Dennis The Menace" and so many others! 😅

17:39 Mark! Hehe! In British Comedy, I've seen people use unicycles, bicycles, and tricycles ridden by servants to pass something from one end to the other! One had a toy train on the table! Another had condiments being passed like 🏈 ! The funniest one was the one with the border crossing gate in the middle of the table! 😂😅

[@williambanks2223]

Fun fact: Tim Burton asked Danny Elfman to score the movie, but when Elfman was asked to work with Prince, he refused to do it. So Burton let him perform the main score, and Prince did the extra backing music.

This is one of Nicholson's top 3 performances

Best movie Joker... EVER!!!

1978 Superman gave us this movie. This movie gave us all the superhero films to come.

Indeed.

Jack Nickelson, Heath Ledger, Joaquin Phoenix joker is always played by a Legends its crazy. 2 Oscars all 3 amazing performences

Bruce Wayne is afraid of bats so he used his fear to fight criminals

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

Michael Keaton is generally recognized as the best portrayal of Batman. Jack Nicholson had a blast playing this role

[@terrylandess6072]

The girls were so enamored with a young Michael Keaton I think they'd really enjoy Mr. Mom.

This is where the fun begins!! My man Batman! 🙏🏽💪

@26:22 I love the foreshadowing of Joker blowing up half of two-faces face

[@fleason771]

This 1st Batman was shot at Pinewood Studios in England. The Gotham City set was gigantic, it covered approx 30-40 acres of the studio backlot & cost Warner Brothers a fortune to build from scratch. Did you know "Gotham" is a place in England & has a very interesting history of how it became a New York term, which would then go on to influence the name "Gotham City" for Batman 🤯

[@darkjedi447]

You girls made this a very fun reaction! Will be great to see you react to Part TWO!! Fingers crossed 🤞 Keep smiling 👍🙂🇨🇦

Hey great reaction from y'all of Batman!

6:08 Mark! A sandwich! Aha! A nod to green paper cash having the slang name "lettuce" I guess! 😂😅

[@russelturner5771]

Kristen, dark humor is where it's at. Nicholson played the hell out of that role, he was definitely robbed of an Oscar nomination. Also when Keaton was cast in the role of Batman after playing Beetlejuice, I was this isn't going to work but he pulled it off & became my fav Batman ever.

[@StevenHouse1980]

This film came out in 1989, Harley Quinn was first seen in Batman The Animated Series 1992.

[@Chockys234]

Please let's take a moment to honor Michael Gough, the greatest Alfred Pennyworth ever. Not forgotting Efrem Zimbalist Jr. (voice), Michael Caine, Sean Pertwee, Jeremy Irons, Andy Serkis and Alan Napier, of course. Tim Burton created a classic by its own right. Truly wonderful.

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

*_"Tell me something, my friend: You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"_** is one of those movie lines that always sticks in your head. And it really feeds into the amount of insanity Jack Nicholson put into playing The Joker.* *On another note, I would really love to have a Lego set based on the 1989 Batmobile. I got the 1960s TV show Batmobile two Christmases ago as a gift. I love it, but a movie Batmobile would look amazing in my collection too.*

[@JacobNeily]

Lego made a couple based on the 1989 batmobile but I think it just retired

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

@JacobNeily Wasn't that a UCS set?

[@benschultz1784]

​@@rainbowpegacornstudiosThey made one last year and a set with the Batwing. Wal-Mart had a 3-in-1 Christmas set with both of them and the Batman Returns polybag.

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

​@@benschultz1784 I need to look for the Batwing and the smaller '89 Batmobile

[@chandralalnamadevan1927]

👍👍👍👍 Michael Keaton will always be the best Batman ever while Jack Nicholson will always be the best Joker ever🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@NelsonVlog66]

I grew up watching the 1966 Batman in reruns during the early 1970's.

[@hawkmaster381]

Michael Keaton did a LOT of great movies in this time frame - Multiplicity, Mr. Mom, Gung Ho, Dream Team...

[@dansgaming2064]

I wanna give Kristen a hug after hearing her story.

[@ericlewis217]

Great reaction. Love seeing people reaction to a film I've loved since its release.

[@martinmorles1]

God what a classic ! Just love the Burton style so unique and fits Batman so well !!

[@Bruce-Wayne-101]

Kristen and Achara need more Batman movies in their lives. ❤❤🦇

[@christophermcbride2522]

I hope that you two watch the whole quadrility. Many reactors would watch this and Returns and go straight to the Nolan trilogy. There wouldn't be a Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy without Joel Schumacher's Batman films.

[@jimmiegiboney2473]

38:16 Mark! Remember! The Ninja fad was still vogue, then! 🥷

[@Jordashian93]

The best Batman film of them all - feels like a comic come to life and treats Gotham like a character.

[@jimmiegiboney2473]

35:38 Mark! Back in the day, there was a big sweepstakes contest with one of those Batmobiles as the Grand Prize! (One that was safe for use on public streets.) However, within the universe of "The Drew Carrey Show" he won it, but it had a working jet engine! Unlike Jay Leno, Drew couldn't handle it, and he wrecked it or something. I know he got speeding tickets at least. 🤔 Jay Leno owns a car with a jet turbine motor as well as owning a jet turbine motorcycle! 😊

[@-M0LE]

Look how amazing Keaton is an actor he’s beetlejuice beetlejuice beetlej……. (Phew nearly) and he’s in so many good movies but one of my faves and definitely no one has reacted to is *Mulitplicity* where he plays so many good characters I’m not gonna spoilt it just in case this channel is run by legends who will now make sure we get a reaction to it

[@Deedric_Kee]

The Batcave and the area and entrance to it was so damn cool.
