THANK YOU 3C FILMS! I ALWAYS WANTED MORE MOVIE REVEIWS FROM YOU CAUSE THEY'RE FUNNY, INTERESTING, AND FUN TO WATCH! THANK YOU 🙏 SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS REVIEW FOR ME! HERE'S THE SECOND BATMAN MOVIE THAT YOU NEED TO REVIEW (BATMAN RETURNS)!
I remember begging my Dad to take me to see this when it came out. I still love this film! Yes, some of it is dated, but us who were their when this came out remember the phenomenon that Batman 89' was!
It was absolutely crazy. I worked in a store back then and the amount of merch we had was INSANE. Warner Brothers couldn't keep up with the demand. There is an interesting mini documentary about a small company called Toy Biz that made the original 89 action figures instead of Kenner. They couldn't handle the demand; they couldn't get Michael Keaton's face right on the figure; and were just overwhelmed leading to the retail shortage. They went out of business and Kenner came crawling back and they did the much better figures starting in 1990, I believe.
It's weird because I was born in the Christopher Nolan era, but I really like Keaton's Batman the most (so far). I just think the world and characters are very focused and compelling. Great vid by the way
For me I enjoyed Kilmer’s Batman. It felt like BTAS Batman on the big screen (idk if BTAS came before or after Batman forever) not to mention Val felt the most Batman like. Idk how to explain it but even with the psychological things his Batman deals with were just so interesting
To quote Jack Nicholson. "You need the dark comedy, Some of him needs to be outrageous or preposterous because if that isn't there and you try to humanize a character like that, it'll fuck you up mentally. It was probably my worst audition as I'm not acting for some of it I'm just having a good time because I love the character so much. My goal was to freak people out. I think they liked it, I'm still making money off it!"
Jack Nicholson was hilarious yet terrifying. He’s still the closest to the comics especially for the time. He always wanted to come back too but they never took the opportunity.
@@disclaimer.imjokin Nicholson, DeVito, Pfeiffer, Lee Jones, Carrey, Schwarzenegger and Thurman were all slated to appear in the cancelled 5th movie in the series, Batman Unchained. They would have appeared in an extended dream sequence where Batman encounters all of his past villains. This would have been brought on by Scarecrows fear toxin, who along with Harley Quinn, would have been the main villain of the film
This movie has a special place in my heart. Keaton and Nicholson will always be my favorite Batman and Joker. Is this the best interpretation of Batman? Well no, that comes later in the Nolan films, and no it is also not The Dark Knight as many will say. My favorite Batman movie will be the 89 film but I believe the best one is actually Batman Begins.
Fun fact: when it comes to Batman's introduction in this film, originally Batman was supposed to say "I am the night". But while filming Michael Keaton changed it to "I'm Batman" and they kept it.
@@raddpluto ya it’s an awesome line. I reviewed all the classic Batman movies on my channel too if you would like to check those out my friend. I can tell your a big Batman fan so I trust your opinion.
Actually, I ALWAYS saw this as the joker's movie. From first watch. I always felt he had FAAAAAR more screen time than batman. And we're talking about Tim Burton here. Ofcourse Joker would be his fascination.
Michael Keaton is wonderful as Batman back then and I love the music of Danny Elfman bringing to this movie so this 1989 movie of Batman is still really cool!👍😁🦇🤩🖤
I used to watch this movie on repeat at my grandmas house, I remember laying in a cot she had for me next to her bed and I would always lay there and watch it, this movie has a very special place in my heart
I saw this movie when I was just 8! And then the love of batman continue I saw every one without hesitation and loved it I think every actor did a fantastic job with the role and I hope to see that continue with Robert Pattinsons role on the batman
@@Solwid100 those are great choices. I like rises and dark knight best. I’ve been reviewing on the classic Batman movies on my channel, have you had the chance to check those out? I think you would enjoy them. I would appreciate you letting me know how I did in my reviews friend.
This was the first live action Batman movie I remember watching when I was little, and since then it's remained one of my favorites alongside Batman Begins and the Dark Knight. Michael Keaton is also still my favorite live action Batman. Always loved how mysterious and subtle he was, and how naturally dark and intimidating he felt without really trying. Excited to see him in the role again in the Flashpoint movie.
@@bluedragon1418 that’s awesome. I remember enjoying them since I was little. I’m reviewing all of the Batman movies on my channel too, if you would like to check them out my friend? I think you will enjoy them.
Everything. It has my favorite version of Gotham City. My favorite Batmobile. My favorite comicbook movie score. My favorite versions of Batman and the Joker. I know it's not a perfect movie, but to me it captures the spirit of the characters and the world, perfectly.
@@orlandoruizjr3834 I think all those are great points, really awesome movie. I reviewed the movie on my channel too, could you let me know how I did in my review of it? I trust your opinion friend as I know your a true fan of the movie.
In the novelization of the book the money he was throwing during the parade was also laced with the chemicals that the balloons were going to release. He had them either way
Michael Keaton’s Batman is the definitive of pure revolutionary. A revolutionary newest reboot that introduces a Batman that is much more serious and dark.
i think burton did it on purpose to cast michael keaton who is short and not so muscular to be batman who would expect someone that looks like that to be batman.
I’m starting my Batman marathon watch before The Batman comes out. I definitely love Burton’s Batman for what it is. I do, however, see it’s flaws and as an avid reader of mainly Batman books, it’s absolutely nothing like what I’d consider Batman to be, and that’s not a bad thing actually. And that score…my lord that score. That part of the film is just perfect.
I'm good with it. Batman's been campy and serious and this is just another take. And it's a good one; we're still talking about it more than 30 years later. It resonated.
You're a true top tier youtuber loved all your videos and can't believe the amount of passion you put into all of them you are a true inspiration keep it up
I was 9 when this came out, and it was the first movie I ever saw in theaters more than once. This movie, and the Animated Series are primarily the reasons that I am a huge Batman fan today. That being said I feel like your criticisms were spot-on. I feel like Batman was always the supporting character in the films all the way up until Batman Begins. The movies prior to that were always about the villains.
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 And he’s making a comeback in The Flash (2022) and flash/Barry will get to meet Michael Keaton’s Batman by traveling in the multiverse.
Thanks again as always! I love your reviews man, and respect your opinion a lot. For me personally i like Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne, i have nothing with Ben Affleck, but he nailed that part of the role. I always felt Keeton was a bad Wayne
I absolutely loved this review as it gives a really nice deep dive into both the positives and the negatives about this movie and I'm seriously looking forward to the rest! I do wish we could have gotten a review for the 1966 Batman movie as it did have a theatrical release but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You know the one real thing that gets me about this movie…How in the hell does Knox not know who Bruce Wayne is?! I mean, I can understand Vicki not knowing because she’s new in town but Alex is a friggin reporter in Gotham! Sure Vicki runs into him during the party and actually asks him “do you know which one of these guys is Bruce Wayne?” and Bruce shoots her a no idea. Heck, I would too if some random hot woman would be asking for me too! Lol. But again, Alex saying “who are you?” when they run into him while looking for Commissioner Gordon is kinda odd for me. Sure he may be a bit of a recluse int the first two movies but c’mon everyone in Gotham has seen at least a picture if the man once. Again, Alex works for the newspaper! How do they not have at least one image of him from some kind if something somewhere?! Best way to put it…Batman! Batman! Can somebody tell me what kind of a world we live in where a man dressed up as a BAT, gets more press than Gotham’s golden boy?! Lol. Looking forward to next Friday thats for sure! And I cant wait for the “Returns” upload as well.
Maybe the resolution is all a part of his growing character. This is probably him still trying to understand who he is and what is actually right or wrong. He still doesn't understand the problems with being Batman such as how his actions may have consequences (including killing the Joker). He still didn't learn in Batman Returns, but he might after witnessing both the Penguin's sad(ish) death along with never seeing Selina Kyle again (until they meet up in the '89 comic). After this, he probably is trying to learn more about his consequences and tries to mend his wrong doings.
Hands down the best live action Batman movie ever made. Michael Keaton is only topped by Kevin Conroy, Jack Nicholson is only topped by Mark Hamill, and the best Gotham City ever made. It's very interesting that Bruce Wayne isn't that well known by the public, instead being a recluse. I'm also genuinely shocked that Bob, Eckhardt, and especially Alexander Knox (who is the best character in the movie) haven't been brought back in the comics or cartoons...
I love that he keeps doing these, the Halloween ones were Sooooo good, and the Spiderman ones were awesome, I can't wait for the Batman and Robin review
@@borbgorbon I agree, my review will be posted in a couple days. I reviewing all the classic Batman movies too. Let m know how I’ve done with my 89, returns and forever reviews my friend?
When it comes to Batman killing in the Burton films, from what I understand the reason is because Batman killed in the golden age comics, which is what Burton was basing his Batman on when he made these movies. It's also the reason why the movies have a oldschool setting.
Well in The golden age wonder woman's main weakness was being tied up by a man superman couldnt fly until the flesisher cartoons and lex luthor was a generic mad scientist and most stuff in it was retconned by The crisis on infinite earths so using it as an argument or excuse for batman to kill is stupid
If it wasn't for this movie we would never have greatest DC show of all time Batman the Animated series and this movie is reason why Batman was taken seriously instead of being a joke before this movie came out casual audiences were use to Adam West campy Batman. This was DC first movie that set the tone that superhero movies can be taken seriously (no disrespect to Christopher Reeve Superman) and audiences are interested in seeing dark tone superhero movie pretty much this like how Blade paved the way for modern day superhero movies. I still wish we could have seen Keaton Batman vs. Christopher Reeve Superman World's Finest we almost got it twice technically Batman & Robin confirmed they both exist in same universe (until this was retconed Batman Forever and Batman & Robin are not canon to Batman 89 and Returns) and the second time CW Crisis On Infinite Earths could have had Routh Kingdom Superman (his version is same one as Reeve) confirm Keaton Batman same universe as his but Joker is alive in his universe even other variant Keaton Batman Earth 89 joker still alive.
@@megamikethemovieman the Court of Owls, Clay Face, or Hush would be awesome tbh Two Face, Joker, Bane, and League of Shadows/Assassins have been used way to many times in film and tv series introduce new villains on big screen is refreshing Clay Face, Court of Owls, or Hush would make for great on screen villain
Chris I love your content you da man can’t wait for The Batman to drop p.s I loved your Batsuit it was bad ass 3c for Batman in the next Batman reboot 😝
Yeah this was my first introduction into Batman as well. Superfriends had been off the air for years, there was no Batman Animated Series, etc. Although my favorite Batman on film is Bale, Keaton's Batman will always hold a special place in my heart. Also I liked how you included actual footage of people not liking Keaton being picked as Batman. I always heard about it but I was too young at the time to even know the initial backlash with Keaton's selection was negative. It just goes to show that WB knows what the hell they're doing when casting Batman in these movies, excluding George Clooney.
Jack Nicholson is an underrated joker and personally my favorite. Peopl are always talking about how crazy heath ledger and quoqin phoenix are (btw I don’t know how to spell his name)
Watching Batman ‘89 and Returns throughout the years of my life, I’ve come to the realization that it works….Tim Burton’s Batman is heroic, yes, but he is a heroic villain. Where Deadpool, Red Hood, and Wolverine are seen as ANTI-Heroes; Burton’s Batman can be perceived as an ANTI-villain….he’s hypocritical, paranoid, angry, vengeful, and kills without remorse. But, for some reason it works for me…Did anyone notice how Batman DOES NOT kill until his embedded memories visit him in a brooding session and he realizes Joker killed his parents? It seems like a lazy idea to have that plot point, but now it seems genius. To have that personal connection makes you understand why Batman is so crazy. Why he kills. He is a Batman defined by revenge, and it blinds him. This causes him to kill every Joker goon and drive him up the tower to kill the man who brought him endless pain. To kill the man who killed his parents. And what makes this work is the subtlety, the realism. He can’t stop. He crossed that path that Bruce told Jason of at the end of Under The Red Hood. He lost himself. So he keeps killing people in Returns, this time without any feeling. They are obstacles in his way to killing another freak who is defined by that parental pain and isolation, Oswald Cobblepot. The Triangle Circus Gang could almost be his Alfred, his family. And this makes Batman a hypocrite, he loves that Gordon doesn’t only not care about his murders, but endorses them. Batman is a villain. Batman is defined by revenge.
I also feel that the Tim Burtons movies are very focused not on Batman himself, but on the effect he has on the people in his world. If you focus, Batman and Batman Returns have a subtle three person POV throughout the three acts. First Act is from the point of view of Joker and Penguin, then Second act is Vale and Selina, and then the third act is both Keaton. I feel that Returns is great because the ending redeems his first film. Where he was trying to kill the Joker, he now tries to save Selina. Why? Because she is becoming that Anti-Hero defined by revenge.
I was born in 83. As kids, when we talked about our favorite super-heros, it was Batman with Keaton or Superman with Reeves. Imagine a world where the multi-verse included a white haired, white suited, Reeves. Keaton and Reeves on the screen together either then or now would have been epic. RIP Reeves, still the best, and Superman is better.
Awesome job! That was a very on point breakdown of the things which make this film groundbreaking, yet flawed in some very important areas. The whole critique of the lack of a character arc for Bruce/Batman was totally accurate IMO, & you managed to highlight exactly why so many hardcore Batman fans had serious issues w/certain aspects of this story. Many fans came out of this film feeling cheated in a way, because making Joker the killer of Bruce's parents came off as sort of lazy writing to an extent. It provides an avenue for a rather simplistic revenge story to play out, all the while casually defying many of the rules previously established for the character over many decades of mythology.
By the way it was meant to end with Christopher Reeves Superman and Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman meaning that we’re going to have a real cinematic universe before they were eventually scrapped
I really haven’t seen any of the older Batman films but your review has inspired me to start watching all of them, especially since this is going to be a huge year for Batman
I really enjoy you doing these franchise summary review videos they are amazing never stop making these you should make a name for them cuz they are awesome and unique. Also one thing I’d like is action scenes have a behind the scene descriptions stuff like that would be a good add to make them super awesome but they are already amazing and very entertaining!!!
Can’t even comment without a bot automatically sending ridiculous stuff🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ but can’t wait to see these great reviews from past generations of Batman 🔥 gotta get my tickets soon for march 5 ‼️

For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Awwww Shit Chris is doing the Batman movies! I’m excited now I love your review series. You always bring in a new take and make them enjoyable. I can’t wait 😵💫
I watched this Batman first when I was younger, and when I watched the dark knight when I was like 11 I was disappointed that they didn’t kill the joker like they did in this movie. Now I’m so happy they didn’t kill him because that would’ve contradicted the whole point of the movie
I used to watch Batman 89 all the time when I was a kid, and a few weeks ago I rewatched it for the first time in years. And I loved it. Especially Nicholson. I think Heath Ledger is definitely the best, but Jack Nicholson has become very underrated in recent years. He was absolutely phenomenal as the Joker. He is also by FAR the most accurate portrayal of the character ever put to film. He had so many iconic lines and he was genuinely funny and terrifying at the same time. Phenomenal performance
Watching Batman 89 ending right now watching your review. Love the movie and it was essentially the first major Batman movie. It still holds up to this day.
Sean Young, Daryl Hannah, Kelly McGillis, Julia Roberts, Linda Hamilton, Bridget Fonda, Joan Cusack, and Sigourney Weaver were considered for Vicki Vale.
Sean Young had the role but during rehearsals in England she broke her arm horseback riding in preparation for a scene. Kim Basinger was cast literally two days before filming began. She deserves credit for stepping in flawlessly.. Was her role the greatest? No, but she was savvy enough to know this would be a game changer in her career.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bill Murray, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Pierce Brosnan, Nick Nolte, Kevin Spacey, Tom Selleck, Jeff Bridges, Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Hanks, Matthew Broderick, Sean Penn, Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas, Robert Downey Jr, Harrison Ford, Kiefer Sutherland, Alec Baldwin, Ray Liotta, and Kevin Kline were considered for Batman.
Thank You For Watching!!
Leave me your thoughts on Batman 1989 & look

Haven’t seen it but will now and also will you cover the joker movie?
Where Batman 66

Thank you for giving Bill Finger credit. Bob Kane was not the sole creator of Batman for those who wonder.
Bill Finger not only created Batman, he stayed with the character for decades, which is far more effort than what Bob Kane added...
Bob Kane just had the initial concept, everything we know and love about Batman today was all the creation of Bill Finger
It was great he finally got acknowledged on films in 2015, he was very modest and his Granddaughter fought for his rightful recognition.
Kane should have gone by Rob
1. It's the correct nickname for Robert
2. It's accurate to what he did

“you weigh more than 108” is crazy 💀💀💀
89 Batman will always be my favorite.
Keaton as well. The ending to 89 Batman with Danny Elfman’s Finale is spectacular.
This was the first live action Batman movie I remember watching when I was little, and since then it's remained one of my favorites alongside Batman Begins and the Dark Knight. Michael Keaton is also still my favorite live action Batman. Always loved how mysterious and subtle he was, and how naturally dark and intimidating he felt without really trying. Excited to see him in the role again in the Flashpoint movie.

@@bluedragon1418 that’s awesome. I remember enjoying them since I was little. I’m reviewing all of the Batman movies on my channel too, if you would like to check them out my friend? I think you will enjoy them.
@@megamikethemovieman alright I’ll check it out when I have the try time

Hands down my favorite BATMAN film.
What makes it your favorite ?
Everything. It has my favorite version of Gotham City. My favorite Batmobile. My favorite comicbook movie score. My favorite versions of Batman and the Joker. I know it's not a perfect movie, but to me it captures the spirit of the characters and the world, perfectly.
@@orlandoruizjr3834 I think all those are great points, really awesome movie. I reviewed the movie on my channel too, could you let me know how I did in my review of it? I trust your opinion friend as I know your a true fan of the movie.
Hell yeah
@@orlandoruizjr3834 thank you.
In the novelization of the book the money he was throwing during the parade was also laced with the chemicals that the balloons were going to release. He had them either way
I had no idea their was a novel.
Michael Keaton’s Batman is the definitive of pure revolutionary. A revolutionary newest reboot that introduces a Batman that is much more serious and dark.
i think burton did it on purpose to cast michael keaton who is short and not so muscular to be batman who would expect someone that looks like that to be batman.
Michael Keaton will always be my favorite Batman
I’m starting my Batman marathon watch before The Batman comes out. I definitely love Burton’s Batman for what it is. I do, however, see it’s flaws and as an avid reader of mainly Batman books, it’s absolutely nothing like what I’d consider Batman to be, and that’s not a bad thing actually. And that score…my lord that score. That part of the film is just perfect.
I'm good with it. Batman's been campy and serious and this is just another take. And it's a good one; we're still talking about it more than 30 years later. It resonated.
Batman forever is such a fun and good film. Probably my favorite live action Batman movie
Nicholson's joker is one of my favourites and the soundtrack is brilliant
You're a true top tier youtuber loved all your videos and can't believe the amount of passion you put into all of them you are a true inspiration keep it up
A review of all the Batman movies before Robbie’s The Batman ?! It’s a good time to be a 3C fan 🥳
That lean back (around 10:42) was hilarious, I never noticed that - only the awkward turns 😂
Just reviewed this movie yesterday! 4/5 stars.
I was 9 when this came out, and it was the first movie I ever saw in theaters more than once. This movie, and the Animated Series are primarily the reasons that I am a huge Batman fan today. That being said I feel like your criticisms were spot-on. I feel like Batman was always the supporting character in the films all the way up until Batman Begins. The movies prior to that were always about the villains.
If I'm being honest I prefer batman returns but this movie will always have a special place in my heart
YES! Your covering the Batman franchise now let’s go!
Going Old-School Batman today, huh?
@Esna Dilta Somehow I don't trust everything you said
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 And he’s making a comeback in The Flash (2022) and flash/Barry will get to meet Michael Keaton’s Batman by traveling in the multiverse.
@@Luke-3281 Cool
I think we'll see Batman fully suited up get more screen time in "The Batman" than Bruce Wayne.
Personally my favourite Batman
Crazy how you managed to break down a film from the late 80’s/early 90’s and you nailed it Chris, keep up the good work buddy love your content
Thanks again as always! I love your reviews man, and respect your opinion a lot. For me personally i like Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne, i have nothing with Ben Affleck, but he nailed that part of the role. I always felt Keeton was a bad Wayne
I absolutely loved this review as it gives a really nice deep dive into both the positives and the negatives about this movie and I'm seriously looking forward to the rest!
I do wish we could have gotten a review for the 1966 Batman movie as it did have a theatrical release but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Michael Keaton's BATMAN is my favorite batman and I hope Tim Burton comes back to make a BATMAN BEYOND series
You know the one real thing that gets me about this movie…How in the hell does Knox not know who Bruce Wayne is?! I mean, I can understand Vicki not knowing because she’s new in town but Alex is a friggin reporter in Gotham! Sure Vicki runs into him during the party and actually asks him “do you know which one of these guys is Bruce Wayne?” and Bruce shoots her a no idea. Heck, I would too if some random hot woman would be asking for me too! Lol. But again, Alex saying “who are you?” when they run into him while looking for Commissioner Gordon is kinda odd for me. Sure he may be a bit of a recluse int the first two movies but c’mon everyone in Gotham has seen at least a picture if the man once. Again, Alex works for the newspaper! How do they not have at least one image of him from some kind if something somewhere?! Best way to put it…Batman! Batman! Can somebody tell me what kind of a world we live in where a man dressed up as a BAT, gets more press than Gotham’s golden boy?! Lol. Looking forward to next Friday thats for sure! And I cant wait for the “Returns” upload as well.
Are we skipping Batman the movie starring Adam west ? I feel like it should count even though it’s a made for TV movie
Batman 1989 is the most comic accurate Batman movie
That’s not how he looks like ?!! … THAT IS HOW HE LOOKS LIKE ?!!! 😂😂
Love batman since i was a kid but you made me love the character more thanks cris 🙏
Batman 89 and mask of the phantasm are my favorite Batman films
Same. _The Dark Knight_ is *SO FUCKING OVERRATED* !!! Not bad, but nowhere near as good as everyone says it is. That's a solid B- movie.
I loved Heath ledger and everything else in that film, but Batman is a clown in that movie
Maybe the resolution is all a part of his growing character.
This is probably him still trying to understand who he is and what is actually right or wrong. He still doesn't understand the problems with being Batman such as how his actions may have consequences (including killing the Joker).
He still didn't learn in Batman Returns, but he might after witnessing both the Penguin's sad(ish) death along with never seeing Selina Kyle again (until they meet up in the '89 comic). After this, he probably is trying to learn more about his consequences and tries to mend his wrong doings.
Hands down the best live action Batman movie ever made. Michael Keaton is only topped by Kevin Conroy, Jack Nicholson is only topped by Mark Hamill, and the best Gotham City ever made. It's very interesting that Bruce Wayne isn't that well known by the public, instead being a recluse. I'm also genuinely shocked that Bob, Eckhardt, and especially Alexander Knox (who is the best character in the movie) haven't been brought back in the comics or cartoons...
"Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?" One of the best quotes ever!!
I love that he keeps doing these, the Halloween ones were Sooooo good, and the Spiderman ones were awesome, I can't wait for the Batman and Robin review
What do you think of Batman and Robin?
@@megamikethemovieman it's silly
@@borbgorbon I agree, my review will be posted in a couple days. I reviewing all the classic Batman movies too. Let m know how I’ve done with my 89, returns and forever reviews my friend?
When it comes to Batman killing in the Burton films, from what I understand the reason is because Batman killed in the golden age comics, which is what Burton was basing his Batman on when he made these movies. It's also the reason why the movies have a oldschool setting.
Well in The golden age wonder woman's main weakness was being tied up by a man superman couldnt fly until the flesisher cartoons and lex luthor was a generic mad scientist and most stuff in it was retconned by The crisis on infinite earths so using it as an argument or excuse for batman to kill is stupid
He kills because the studio wanted an action movie and Burton wasn't much of a fan of the comics.
If it wasn't for this movie we would never have greatest DC show of all time Batman the Animated series and this movie is reason why Batman was taken seriously instead of being a joke before this movie came out casual audiences were use to Adam West campy Batman. This was DC first movie that set the tone that superhero movies can be taken seriously (no disrespect to Christopher Reeve Superman) and audiences are interested in seeing dark tone superhero movie pretty much this like how Blade paved the way for modern day superhero movies.
I still wish we could have seen Keaton Batman vs. Christopher Reeve Superman World's Finest we almost got it twice technically Batman & Robin confirmed they both exist in same universe (until this was retconed Batman Forever and Batman & Robin are not canon to Batman 89 and Returns) and the second time CW Crisis On Infinite Earths could have had Routh Kingdom Superman (his version is same one as Reeve) confirm Keaton Batman same universe as his but Joker is alive in his universe even other variant Keaton Batman Earth 89 joker still alive.
What villains do you think they should have in The Batman 2?
@@megamikethemovieman the Court of Owls, Clay Face, or Hush would be awesome tbh Two Face, Joker, Bane, and League of Shadows/Assassins have been used way to many times in film and tv series introduce new villains on big screen is refreshing Clay Face, Court of Owls, or Hush would make for great on screen villain
Tim Burton certainly putted The 'Goth' in Gotham City.
It’s my birthday today (24) and I’m so happy to start it out with a new review of a Batman movie! 🎉🍿
Happy birthday!
Looking forward to the rest of the reviews! Love your vids!!
I LOVE WHEN HE STARTS THIS SERIES!!
By far the best batman movie
But you cant forget adam west😏
Chris I love your content you da man can’t wait for The Batman to drop p.s I loved your Batsuit it was bad ass 3c for Batman in the next Batman reboot 😝
I still have a huge admiration for this film, and I can’t wait to see Michael Keaton return in The Flash movie.
Is the Flash your most anticipated movie?
We celebrated Halloween 🎃🔪
We web-slinged with Spider-Man 🕷🕸
We Scream(ed) with Ghostface 👻📽
And we'll fight crimes with Batman 🦸♂️🦇
Yeah this was my first introduction into Batman as well. Superfriends had been off the air for years, there was no Batman Animated Series, etc. Although my favorite Batman on film is Bale, Keaton's Batman will always hold a special place in my heart.
Also I liked how you included actual footage of people not liking Keaton being picked as Batman. I always heard about it but I was too young at the time to even know the initial backlash with Keaton's selection was negative. It just goes to show that WB knows what the hell they're doing when casting Batman in these movies, excluding George Clooney.
Jack Nicholson is an underrated joker and personally my favorite. Peopl are always talking about how crazy heath ledger and quoqin phoenix are (btw I don’t know how to spell his name)
Watching Batman ‘89 and Returns throughout the years of my life, I’ve come to the realization that it works….Tim Burton’s Batman is heroic, yes, but he is a heroic villain. Where Deadpool, Red Hood, and Wolverine are seen as ANTI-Heroes; Burton’s Batman can be perceived as an ANTI-villain….he’s hypocritical, paranoid, angry, vengeful, and kills without remorse. But, for some reason it works for me…Did anyone notice how Batman DOES NOT kill until his embedded memories visit him in a brooding session and he realizes Joker killed his parents? It seems like a lazy idea to have that plot point, but now it seems genius. To have that personal connection makes you understand why Batman is so crazy. Why he kills. He is a Batman defined by revenge, and it blinds him. This causes him to kill every Joker goon and drive him up the tower to kill the man who brought him endless pain. To kill the man who killed his parents. And what makes this work is the subtlety, the realism. He can’t stop. He crossed that path that Bruce told Jason of at the end of Under The Red Hood. He lost himself. So he keeps killing people in Returns, this time without any feeling. They are obstacles in his way to killing another freak who is defined by that parental pain and isolation, Oswald Cobblepot. The Triangle Circus Gang could almost be his Alfred, his family. And this makes Batman a hypocrite, he loves that Gordon doesn’t only not care about his murders, but endorses them. Batman is a villain. Batman is defined by revenge.
I also feel that the Tim Burtons movies are very focused not on Batman himself, but on the effect he has on the people in his world. If you focus, Batman and Batman Returns have a subtle three person POV throughout the three acts. First Act is from the point of view of Joker and Penguin, then Second act is Vale and Selina, and then the third act is both Keaton. I feel that Returns is great because the ending redeems his first film. Where he was trying to kill the Joker, he now tries to save Selina. Why? Because she is becoming that Anti-Hero defined by revenge.
I was born in 83. As kids, when we talked about our favorite super-heros, it was Batman with Keaton or Superman with Reeves.
Imagine a world where the multi-verse included a white haired, white suited, Reeves. Keaton and Reeves on the screen together either then or now would have been epic.
RIP Reeves, still the best, and Superman is better.
That original Superman movie is absolutely amazing right?
I was born in 87, so i was too young to see this when it first came out but looking at it now, it’s the best Batman movie ever
Batman 89 is a fun time its aged quick a bit, but Jack Nicholson's performance is gold.
“Aged a bit quick?” No it hasn’t. Maybe a little, but not that much. It’s a classic and the best Batman movie ever
Chris you forgot about the Adam west batman movie smh I’m unsubscribe 😔😔😔😔😔🗿 (i’m just joking)
Awesome job! That was a very on point breakdown of the things which make this film groundbreaking, yet flawed in some very important areas. The whole critique of the lack of a character arc for Bruce/Batman was totally accurate IMO, & you managed to highlight exactly why so many hardcore Batman fans had serious issues w/certain aspects of this story. Many fans came out of this film feeling cheated in a way, because making Joker the killer of Bruce's parents came off as sort of lazy writing to an extent. It provides an avenue for a rather simplistic revenge story to play out, all the while casually defying many of the rules previously established for the character over many decades of mythology.
What character arc did the later Batman movies have?
Those comments they were making about Keaton were pretty lame
By the way it was meant to end with Christopher Reeves Superman and Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman meaning that we’re going to have a real cinematic universe before they were eventually scrapped
I've been wanting him to do these videos for ages
I really haven’t seen any of the older Batman films but your review has inspired me to start watching all of them, especially since this is going to be a huge year for Batman
Started?? What about the Adam West Batman movie??? 😭😭love your videos away
I really enjoy you doing these franchise summary review videos they are amazing never stop making these you should make a name for them cuz they are awesome and unique. Also one thing I’d like is action scenes have a behind the scene descriptions stuff like that would be a good add to make them super awesome but they are already amazing and very entertaining!!!
How long have you been a fan of the Batman franchise ?
When ever I hear Danny Elfmans theme I think about the Batman Lego games, idk about you?
Can’t even comment without a bot automatically sending ridiculous stuff🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ but can’t wait to see these great reviews from past generations of Batman 🔥 gotta get my tickets soon for march 5 ‼️

Awwww Shit Chris is doing the Batman movies! I’m excited now I love your review series. You always bring in a new take and make them enjoyable. I can’t wait 😵💫
Very excited for your review of The Batman Robert Pattinson's been my favorite actor for years, great review as always Chris,
You make life worth living lol keep being yourself much appreciated
Hey can you please review the 1960s batman movie to pay tribute for Adam
I watched this Batman first when I was younger, and when I watched the dark knight when I was like 11 I was disappointed that they didn’t kill the joker like they did in this movie.
Now I’m so happy they didn’t kill him because that would’ve contradicted the whole point of the movie
i watched this movie some time ago and it honestly hasnt aged well. its fine, i like it but it cant go higher than a 6/10
I used to watch Batman 89 all the time when I was a kid, and a few weeks ago I rewatched it for the first time in years. And I loved it. Especially Nicholson. I think Heath Ledger is definitely the best, but Jack Nicholson has become very underrated in recent years. He was absolutely phenomenal as the Joker. He is also by FAR the most accurate portrayal of the character ever put to film. He had so many iconic lines and he was genuinely funny and terrifying at the same time. Phenomenal performance
Watching Batman 89 ending right now watching your review. Love the movie and it was essentially the first major Batman movie. It still holds up to this day.
Sean Young, Daryl Hannah, Kelly McGillis, Julia Roberts, Linda Hamilton, Bridget Fonda, Joan Cusack, and Sigourney Weaver were considered for Vicki Vale.
Sean Young had the role but during rehearsals in England she broke her arm horseback riding in preparation for a scene. Kim Basinger was cast literally two days before filming began. She deserves credit for stepping in flawlessly.. Was her role the greatest? No, but she was savvy enough to know this would be a game changer in her career.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bill Murray, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Pierce Brosnan, Nick Nolte, Kevin Spacey, Tom Selleck, Jeff Bridges, Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Hanks, Matthew Broderick, Sean Penn, Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas, Robert Downey Jr, Harrison Ford, Kiefer Sutherland, Alec Baldwin, Ray Liotta, and Kevin Kline were considered for Batman.
Christian Bale is my fav Batman, I grew up watching his trilogy.
man The Batman is definitely gonna bring those old good batman movies time's back. This 1 week is gonna feel forever...
