Gettin' Our Phil: BATMAN (1989)

Ian and David are on a cape-free crusade to celebrate BATMAN's 35th anniversary!
The guys recently attended the Chicago Philharmonic's one-night-only movie/concert event, which saw Tim Burton's 1989 comic adaptation projected on the big screen, as a full orchestra performed Danny Elfman's unforgettable score underneath.
In this installment of "Gettin' Our Phil", Ian and David reminisce about late-80's Batmania; dig into the reasons Burton's vision of the Dark Knight may be the purest ever captured on film (at least in live-action); and share some ups and downs of seeing BATMAN in the Windy City's historic Auditorium Theatre!

I remember getting my grandmother to record this on VHS for me when it was shown on Irish television. I'd say I was about 8 or 9. I still have a soft spot for this movie. It's easily my favourite superhero movie - not that I'm generally a fan of the genre, I have to admit.
