Reading the comments, it amazes me how people are only talking about how great Nolan's movies were but no one is talking that is was the genius of Tim Burton that paved the way for everyone else.
One of the best movie theater going experiences of my entire life. I remember my cousins trying to creep me out. They kept reminding that the Joker was from The Shining. As a 5 year old, of course I was blown away. Never missed a Batman movie in a theater since. Back then, any of those summers that a Batman movie came out, that summer felt special. Those who went and saw them back then know what I'm talking about. The bat-mania.
Nigel Phelps is still alive and working in the industry today, Phelps is the one who drew all the buildings and sets. Make fun of Judge Dredd all you want, but that depiction of Mega-City 1 is incredible. And Julian Caldow drew all the vehicles and gadgets. Furst verbally dictated what he wanted to his illustrators, exactly like Bo Welch, Barbara Ling and very other average PD in the industry. William Stout and Ron Cobb he was not, Furst has been elevated to a DaVinci level genius folk hero in the midwest.
@@r.senthilkumar8420 you cant compare the captain america and iron man trilogy to the lord of the rings and the dark knight trilogy lol. They are on a whole different level
Definitely a monumental event for me in '89. Loved it then, love it now. I remember begging my dad to go see this at 13 years old. And when I finally saw it, I was blown away. Bought it when it came out on cassette and wore it out watching it so many times. Always will be grateful to Tim Burton, Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson for this gem.
As an 80s baby (born in 1986), I remember watching this on the couch my parents (as the moving came out on VHS). I watched it in j VHS almost every weekend until the Batman Returns came out when I was six years old.
Batman has a special place in my heart.. I literally got spooked by Jack's Joker after his fall from the ending, I was 5 years old when I remembered it!
I think it's interesting the evolution of what's classified as the modern blockbuster. Seeing box office returns for films like Batman 89. Of Jaws, of the Original Star Wars Trilogy, of Ghostbusters.......all franchises that are HUGE today
I was turning 10 in July of 1989 and was a huge batman fan, enjoying reruns of the old high-camp series. And for my birthday, i got to see it in the theatres. It continues to be my favorite Batman film. I am excited to see the new iteration coming to theatres soon.
The movie that started it all! If you look closely, it is a relay. Burton started out with a bang. Nolan made it reach greater heights. Hope Reeves carry forward the legacy!
I remember I was really hyped by Batman 89. I was almost 12 when I watched the movie and loved it, but the trailer and previews blowed my mind back then. It was a great experience. Saludos.
Batman is awesome. I appreciate Keaton as batman, Bale as Batman, even Kilmer as Batman. I like them all for different reasons. I like the character, and because of the mask, I can appreciate multiple people playing Batman. Refusing to enjoy one batman cause I prefer another, just ruins my own enjoyment.
I can't believe I left out Affleck. Thank you. I guess I was thinking of the older ones. I like Affleck's intensity. His version also has the best fighting skills on display and looks and feels the most like a graphic novel.
@@abovewater6918 agree with you on that, just wish they'd given him more to work with; a lot of people give him hate due to the quality of the films and forget on his Batman. My favourite Batman was Christian Bales personally. But I'm looking forward to Robert Pattenson's.
Christian Bale is still the best Batman to me honestly Ben Affleck lost me in Batman vs Superman when he was rescuing Martha and he burst through the wall and aimed a Light machine gun at the Russian guy with flamethrower BATMAN NEVER USES GUNS the only Batman to use guns was flashpoint Batman and that was Thomas Wayne

@@nedflanders2943 That sets you to the few that say the same. Its a matter of taste but in this case this is absolutetly unique and a great coup for a huge musician.
star wars was a blockbuster in terms of scifi, but batman 1989 boosted the reputation of the comic book movie genre. based on this docu it was another level BECAUSE ITS BATMAN.
I finally got around to watching Batman recently, and honestly I agree with Roger Ebert's remarks. I don't really care for the movie personally, but you can't deny the impact and importance of it. My favorite comic book movies like Logan and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 would probably not exist had it not been for Batman's influence. I'll forever be grateful for this movie
I can't think of many things I could care less about than what a critic thinks of a movie I like. If you like a movie, that's all that matters. There are plenty of movies that didn't do well with critics that I love. People shouldn't feel shame for enjoying a movie that others don't. I'm more into Batman now as an adult than I was when I was a kid playing with my Batman remote control car. I watch every Batman movie (including George Clooney's Batman) and still love them all.
I Disagree with his assessment that movies of the 70s and 80s didn't set out to become Blockbusters, that becoming blockbusters was inadvertent. Indiana Jones, E.T., Gremlins, The Karate Kid, Back to the Future, and Ghostbusters, from the very beginning were all Meant To Be Blockbuster summer movies. (These movies made the month of June and the first week of July the most coveted time to release summer blockbusters).
Jaws was the first blockbuster in June ‘75. Everyone after that wanted to capture that summer box office money. Many may not have wanted to have that “blockbuster” status in name but they definitely wanted the money flow.
@@harshalpatil8522 Actually I can. Both trilogies had 3 great movies that were better than the ones before it, although most agree that the TDK trilogy peaked with the 2nd movie though.
I really can’t wait to see Michael Keaton Batman again!….bring on the flash movie!….. Thank you Warner Brothers for Batman 1989, and for believing in both Tim Burton and Michael Keaton! Michael Keaton was the best casting choice for that era!….just like Christopher Reeves was before him! And now Ben Affleck is the second best if not tied to Michael Keaton as the best two live action Batman actors to play the character on the silver screen!….. Henry Cavill is just as amazing as superman too! We as fans want more of the current DCEU going forward and keep the multiverse with each iteration of Batman and superman alive!….. Looking forward to seeing next year’s the flash movie and Robert Pattinson The Batman movie come to life!…..
It's kind of pointless trying to decide which film is the "modern" blockbuster, because there never has been any single filmmaking style that corresponds to it. JAWS (1975) is often cited as the very first example, but I remember watching it and reflecting that JAWS is not only not a horror film, but isn't even much of an action film either; in many ways, it refuses to be categorized. I suppose that the KING KONG remake (1976), STAR WARS, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, and BLADE RUNNER could all compete for the title. But I wouldn't include BATMAN among those contenders. If anything, BATMAN could be said to be the first "revisionist" blockbuster, paving the way not only for the "serious" Batman films that came later, but also for THE CROW, THE MATRIX, etc.
Guber and the 2 executives that ran WB, they forgot it was this 1 guy executive producer Michael Uslan that actually bought the film rights and form Batfilm productions in 79. He shopped it to the other studios other than WB for the next couple yrs and they declined, After that a script was being developed for the next 4 yrs and potential directors considered (1980-84) After Peewees Big adventure was a big success, thats when they hired Tim for the job, along with Sam Hamm to write/develop the script.
Cool video but you showed a Picture of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight on the TH-cam Page so Everybody thought you were going to talk about The Dark Knight but still a great Video though I love the 1989 Batman also I love that you showed pictures and Mentioned Spider-Man and The Avengers and X-Men in a Warner Bros. Video about Batman a DC Comic property and seeing in the credits of the 2002 Spider-Man Movie and Fox's X-Men and The Avengers with the title Marvel Studios in it hearing the 1989 Batman Song is really Awesome

This movie was so important for the future of comic book movies. I still think it holds up well. It's very 80s but it has a distinct feel.
Batman is awesome. I appreciate Keaton as batman, Bale as Batman, even Kilmer as Batman. I like them all for different reasons. I like the character, and because of the mask, I can appreciate multiple people playing Batman. Refusing to enjoy one batman cause I prefer another, just ruins my own enjoyment.

Why do they never acknowledge Danny Elfmans work on the score, the music is literally what made that film a legend
So true. Whenever I hear that score I think immediately of Keaton swooping in.
Exactly! It was perfection.
His score was great, that is the music I associate with Batman
Not gonna lie some days at the gym Batman Returns is in the wars and I like how this opens with Descent into Darkness.
To be frank, I like and appreciate every iteration of Batman.
Danny Elfman's soundtrack alone is a work of art.
Christopher Nolan's trilogy, Ledger's Joker was nothing like those who came before him that's for sure.
But his trilogy brought Batman back to the darkness after WB killed the franchise with Batman & Robin.
@no info nolan's portrayal is better though.
@no info Raimi's spiderman is far less realistic than any other comic book movie
@no info be as it may, Nolan's portrayal is unmatched!
