Mike Randall Feature ~ Batman On Sale 1989

Batman movie on VHS went on sale

[@pauleckert4321]

When this came out on VHS it was an event. I mean everywere you could buy it. From hardware stores to grocery stores were selling this movie. It was crazy how much this movie was being sold everywhere. Only other movie that had this event feel for its VHS release was Jurassic Park.

THAT'S HOW i REMEMBER IT!

[@CraigMcfly1985]

Same thing with Terminator 2 as well.

[@projectpat8807]

Titanic's VHS release was insane too. They did midnight releases for it. My parents went down to Walmart (I think) at midnight to get a VHS of Titanic. They said it was crazy at the store. Also, Blockbuster had a whole section of the store dedicated to Titanic for those that wanted to rent it. It was a wall of Titanic. I witnessed it within the first week. My family went in there to rent other movies, but we saw the massive stock of Titanic copies.

What About Toy Story on VHS 1996 ?

[@nickhernandez6022]

This guy gets it. When did reporters stop being fun and creative in their jobs? I wish the news had more stuff like this.

[@ChuckM0503]

I just scored an original Batman VHS display as seen in the video at 45 seconds. Brand new, still in the box that would have gone to the retailer. I've been picking up copies of Batman on VHS for a few years now when I can in the hopes I'd eventually find one of the displays.

Amazing! What a time warp! Takes me right back to childhood. This is one of my most favorite videos on youtube. Great find!

[@Stefan-ji2ek]

We had the VHS tape and the Prince Soundtrack 😊

[@jamesdurnford739]

They should put that on the 3Oth anniversary blu ray

[@johngligo4049]

I was almost four at that time when Batman came out! It was one of my favorite movies then! I'll never forget it! The movie posters were everywhere!

I remember living through the histeria as a 14 year old kid lol.

[@DamienRoweArts]

When he pulled the tape out of the cassette, I wanted to slap him

[@NostalgiaVHS]

This is so cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@watching..........6494]

When I was a kid my dad bought this for me at the local Safeway on VHS ,some 30 years later I still own VHS but got it on 4k Blu-ray . Streaming no thank you !

[@damin9913]

People just don't understand how important this movie was😢

[@fatsmcgee8923]

This feels so terribly off putting mixed with 1966 batman

[@StevieStitches]

Minnesota's Prince based the "Batdance" 1989 #1 hit on the 1966 Batman theme. Batman (1989) is dark but not dead serious, has a lot of humor, it's just a Jersey-New Yorker kind of humor, not the 1966 Batman and Robin "Holy guacamole" milktoast silliness. Jersey boy Robert Wuhl's newsman Knox has a sarcastic wiseguy Jersey-New Yorker sense of humor and Jersey accent, Jersey boy Nicholson's Joker has a gleefully cruel cackling spirit of sadistic fun and a lot of humor, even though Nicholson's Joker's humor is morbid, hateful and tasteless. "Jackie Boy" Nicholson even said that's what he liked about it, "What I liked about the Joker is that he has no taste in his humor."

[@Danbo22987]

It really wasn’t until the Dark Knight Trilogy that the general audience shifted away from the Adam West version as the “default” Batman in the public eye

[@ChainsawManDude97]

You act like there playing the entire film with the original 1966 theme playing. This is literally a news reporter making a funny skit for the vhs release of the film. He’s literally playing around in a Batman costume for cry out load. where your sense of fun, this isn’t The Dark Knight Trilogy.

[@jalenjohnson1662]

[@raulzavala9061]

How far we've gotten away from every news report on comic book movies starting it out with "Holy this" and "Holy that", nowadays superhero movies are billion dollar franchises treated with dignity.

[@TwainMR7]

Lol!

[@Danbo22987]

Ironically Dark Knight was the first superhero film to make a billion

[@Fuck_handles]

70.99? Jesus I got Dark Knight for free when it came out three decases after this!

You know there's something Michael played Batman in the movie that was Michael Keaton and now you had another Michael going by Mike Randall dressing up as Batman doing this commercial big coincidence as far as I'm concerned
