This was the Batman movie that created Batman as everyone knows him in movies. It was a huge hit, a global blockbuster and had a huge cultural impact in terms of how superhero movies were made and marketed. This film set the template for what has followed. For that alone, it is a 9 out of 10 for me.
People have forgotten how big this movie was back in 89, it destroyed the box office and any movie released around it, even James Bond and Ghostbusters couldn't beat The Bat
My first job was as an usher at an AMC theater the summer Batman '89 opened. It was insane. We had five of our nine auditoriums showing Batman. There were two lines down the block. One with tickets and one waiting to buy. Madness!
Thanks, Cameron and Isaiah! 🦇 I saw this one on the big screen back then with a small group of friends. The cinema was packed and everyone was very vocally enthusiastic.
The last Batman Movie without CGI Effects....🥰
I saw this in theaters when it came out. The entire audience howled when he said “I’m Batman” and when we first saw the car.
Right they missed the Looney Toons opening
FUN FACT: Billy Dee Williams was originally slated to play Two-Face in the third film. But when DC removed Butron as director to executive producer, Williams was cut from the film, and Tommy Lee Jones was cast.
Many years later, the LEGO Batman film would come out, featuring Billy Dee Williams as the voice of Two-face. So in the end, he got to play the he was hired for.
Best Batman ever!!! I think this one is the most comic book looking. Every scene can be pictured as a drawing in a square with sound descriptions and speech bubbles. Just the best.
"I mean, they technically haven't said anything, they could still be mimes."
I love you guys.
"Ever Dance With the Devil In the Pale Moon Light?" Michael Keaton will always be my Batman and Jack Nicholson my Joker. No offense to the rest but they will always be the best. They were the first to take it into the darkness. The rest had this to build on. Rest in peace Heath.
My favorite line comes from Batman Returns. "You make it look so easy, don't you. Waiting for some Batman to save you. I am Catwoman, hear me roar!"
Michael Keaton: "I'm Batman."
Me, Everytime I hear that line: "Damn right."
WORD!
When you pay prince to do your songs you play the entire song
I saw this in the theater back in 1989. It was one of the best movies I'd ever seen, and I still believe that 35 years later.
That last visual with the bat signal and Batman.. I had a cake decorator put that in my son's birthday cake. She did an amazing job! Batman is a huge part of my family's lives. For over 50 years he has ruled! I am 56 and used to watch the TV show with my Dad and brothers. I eventually had 4 sons and we love super heroes.. Batman in particular. This movie was so incredible when it came out. It was the first one after the 60's TV show, so the world responded big-time! Great America marketed the crap out of these movies also with the introduction of the Batman ride. They had a full size Batmobile at the entrance. It was so great to be alive!
This was so cool at the time, we had only the 60's campy Batman before. And it lead to the animated series which was glorious.
You guys are gunna love Batman returns 🦇🦇🦇
This one and Batman Returns are still my favorite Batman movies.
You have to remember, back then, the suit was designed with the cowl being one piece going from head to shoulder. Keaton couldn't move his head. But when my friends and I first saw it, we were all pumped by this movie. I waited in line for the preview Thursday night showing and had gotten there early to wait in line to get in. We took up a whole row with my work buddy's brother having to sit a row back.
I saw it twice in theaters, bought the VHS, day one. Them processed to watch our a dozen more times.
❤... batman returns is a MUST!!!❤
Dude this is the best batman ever and jack nicholson is the greatest joker ever!!!!!
Funny they laughed so hard at him looking around . Bc the suit gave him no neck movement. They fixed it in the flash movie but Keaton told them to make it stiff bc it became part of his movement he didn’t want to change it
There will never be another Batman for me . Never has been . No need to see any other movies after seeing this in the Theater opening night. He nailed it . ⭐️
A lot of the supporting cast were British actors. The movie was filmed at Pinewood Studios in England (like Superman 78). The most notable actor is William Hootkins who plays corrupt police Lt Eckhardt. Fans will know him as Porkins from Star Wars and "Top men" from Raiders of the Lost Ark.
The actor playing the mayor of Gotham was actually the the mayor of New York at the time of filming
Thank you zay for pointing out the time bruce told alfred we need industial scissors in the batwing for just incase
You guys are adorable all the while not realizing the soundtrack was none other than Prince!! The movie was a hit at the time also cuz of that fire soundtrack!!!!!!!!

Batman Returns is very good...from 1992.
Michael Keaton will always be the better batman to me. Christian Bale was good for darker batman. But Keaton will always be the better batman and Beetlejuice forever
I always just try to look at it like they were both different interpretations of Bruce/Batman. However, seeing Keatons body of work, esp the last fifteen years, I could easily see him being in the Dark Knight trilogy and being great and adapting.
I remember around the time this came out there was a contest to win a Batmobile. I was too young to enter 😞
I love this version of Gotham. Something I think that was lost over the years of Batman movies is illustrating how claustrophobic and messy the city is, to really hit home how it can be a den of crime and where the people feel jaded and hopeless.
Tim Burton is so unique he's my favorite director for a reason. Ever since Pee Wees Bug Adventure I absolutely fell in love with his films. The score for Batman is one of the best, Danny Elfmans work with Burton is absolute perfection
Batman and Joker created each other in this movie.
EDIT: The Keaton batman never had a no kill rule. He's based on the old Batman who was legit out of his mind.
Great Reaction....
I snuck off base in 1989 to see this on opening night in a Theater with my Miliary Roommate.....
Vision and Direction by Tim Burton, Music by Prince, Excellent Conbination.... So Many other performances, Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Kim Basinger.....
I Enjoy how the Tim Burton Batman and Batman Returns have the comic book vibe Gritty balanced with over-the-top Comedy.....
This is the only storyline that has Jack/Joker Kill Bruce's Parents, in the comics and other movies they were killed by Joe Chill.....
As a comic book fan (Marvel, DC, Image), and a huge Batman fan, loved Micheal Keaton as Batman, but I also love the other actors that have portrayed him. I really hate to say this one or that one's better, as they all have different things that make them better in some ways. This movie, and Batman Returns, STILL has the best Batmobile of all time, IMO. I also think the city looks more like the city does from the comics in the Burtonverse. Also, I think that Elfman's Batman theme song is still the greatest of all the Batman films themes. I love the colors on Batman's costume, but hate the fact that he couldn't really turn his head, and that he was a little small to be playing Batman. Here's where I'll get hate, I prefer Nicholson's joker, because it is actually more comic book accurate. Ledger did a good job, but he just played any other psychopath with face paint. Anyways, I saw this in theaters when I was 8 years old, still a great film.
The location for the interior of the Axis chemical plant (a disused power station in Acton west London) was also used in the movie ‘Aliens’
You do have to know that the original Batman that Bob Cane worked in carried a gun. Fur the first 2 years, he did kill. It was after that DC comics wanted to soften Batman's image. After the introduction of Robin, that's when Batman became non-lethal.
This movie features one of the Batman universe’s greatest characters: Bob.
Bob was such a bro. More loyal to Joker than Harley ever was. Dude could put on shades much more badassfully than that loser from CSI. A true number one guy. 🥃 Here’s to Bob. Sláinte.
22:52 That is *EXACTLY* what that light was for- Vicky is trying to get a close look at Batman so he turns on the light in her eyes so she can't see.
I was lucky enough to see this in a theater on Batman Day last year. It was a fun experience!
You guys did a great job as always on your movie reviews! I heard you ask about what was "in the bag" when the Joker fell to his death from the church tower. Back in the 80s, many novelty stores sold a similar looking bag that were simply called, "Laughing Boxes". There was nothing inside the bag, except a plastic device with a pre-recorded laugh on it with a battery compartment to change batteries when the laughter stopped. There ends the ancient artifacts of the 1980s lesson. Ha Ha! :)
The one w/ Michelle Pfeiffer as cat woman was good too!
it was thrilling seeing this in a packed theatre back summer of 1989. amazing! just like the original SUPERMAN with Christopher Reeve! both were full-on events! The smoldering dark secret quality that Michael Keaton gives Batman is everything! so much fun! the design was amazing! Jack Nicholson!! again-it was an event!!
Fun Fact: Kevin Smith's character Silent Bob is named after Bob in this movie. Kevin and his buddies were obsessed with this movie and they referred to that character as Silent Bob because he hardly speaks in the film.
This was one of the first films to bring back the darker edge to comic book movies and it proved successful. Keaton''s casting was controversial when it was announced but he proved everyone wrong and Nicholson was perfectly cast. Look forward to you reviewing Batman Returns with Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman and Danny DeVito as the Penguin.
In the comics, Batman had been getting very dark by the late 80’s…
But the general public only ever knew of the silly (but great) Adam West Batman or the silly (but fun) Superfriends Batman.
This changed everyone’s perception of the character and people loved it!
Yes!!
I saw this in the theater when it came out with my older uncle, I was a teen then. I talked him into it. I loved it, he well it was too much for him, RIP Uncle Jess. Great movie. Loved how Keaton reprised his role in the Flash Movie, it was the best thing about the movie.
This movie had the OG gadgets
The soundtrack to this is elite ✨ R.I.P Prince
Saw this in the theater when I was 13. Thought it was awesome! Still love this today.
"Rubber bullets-- honest." - The Dark Knight Returns
That "batman never kills is bullshit"!!!😂😂😂
This is one of the funniest reactions I've seen to this film. it's a classic I'm a 90s kid at heart so this film was special to me. I'm also a huge Tim Burton fan as well you guys are awesome 🎉🎉
Zay - Your step dad has let me down with your movie upbringing 🥲
I watched this movie in the cinema in 1989 as a kid... Yes I'm old lol.
Keaton my favourite live action Batman (not including Kevin Conroy's appearance in Crisis on Infinite Earths)
BTW: Keaton the best thing in The Flash movie
No my friends, Burton's Batman kills criminals indiscriminately. In the follow up Batman returns, he straps a bomb to a killer clown, flashes a sinister smile, and throws him down a shaft. Boom.
The real Batman
If you saw The Flash movie, you might have recognized the "bag full of laughs," which made a cameo in the Batcave.
Looking forward to your Batman Returns reaction tomorrow! If you could drop that ish before I have to leave for work tomorrow, that would be great!
What Zay doesn't know is that the money is counterfeit. The bills have Joker's face on them.
"Fooled You!" Dark Helmet
Just an FYI the bag Gordon takes of the joker's body is called bag o laughs 2.99 @ any novelty/joke store
Batman won't kill you, but he doesn't have to save you either!😮😮
This 1 got me LMAOOL 🤣😂 he's a little hot 🔥🥵 under the Collar! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
2nd best Batman film apart from Batman Returns and I still tell people that the worst Batman is Ben Affleck.
Can I just say that I found your guys channel a few weeks ago and have been bingeing your guys videos. Love the channel. I have questions: how long have you two known each other? How old are you two?(I'm bad at figuring out ages). Dude your haha reflex is CRAZY, I love it.
-oh, so they weren't mimes.
-i mean, they technically still havent said anything they can still be mimes.
LOL!!
Great reaction this movie was the movie that started my love for superhero movies I didn't get to see it in the theaters unfortunately But it holds a special place in my heart!!
The only reason I went to go see THE FLASH movie was because Michael Keaton returning as Batman, first time he's donned the cape and cowl for the first time in 30 years. Warner/DC got a strong start on the big screen superhero movies in 1978 and 1981 with SUPERMAN and SUPERMAN II, then in 1989 and 1992 with BATMAN and BATMAN RETURNS, with two lackluster and disappointing sequels to each, the really knocked it out of the park with Christopher Nolan's DARK KNIGHT trilogy, only to totally drop the ball hardcore by rushing the DCEU to the screen to try to compete with the MCU, but only made two really good movies, BATMAN VS SUPERMAN, the ultimate edition though, not theatrical, and WONDER WOMAN. Looks like they're back on the right track with THE BATMAN. Not only with the performance of Robert Pattinson, but also going back to Batman's original detective roots, but also making the movie a crime drama/serial killer thriller. I have high hopes for THE BATMAN PART II. The MCU has really started to falter since ENDGAME, with only the two good ones after that being the two SPIDERMAN movies, and the phenomenal DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE. And, I still think Ben Affleck deserved his own solo movie as Batman. But, here's to hoping that both studios return to form with making really good movies.
There's a bit cut from the ending at the parade which would've revealed the $20 million distribution is all counterfeit bills with Joker's face on them. it would've been a payoff to the "I want my face on the $1 bill" bit from earlier.
This movie was a big deal when I was 9, but the sequel Batman Returns was a game changer for me.
Jack Nicholson's deal was to get a piece of the gross of everything. He made a lot of money. Maybe 90 million.
Can't wait for you guys to get to "Batman Forever", my favorite in the series!
From now on guys, tell me what movie you're planning on watching. I'll come up with the puns
The money, the Joker was throwing at the crowd was fake, The money had The Joker’s face on them, calling back when he said he want his face on the one dollar bill.
Jack Nicolson and Mark Hamill as the joker will forever be the best next to Cesar Romero and yes I'm including Mark Hamill because he played the joker in Batman: the animated series and it's animated movies...
You’re kidding, you’re just now reacting to this one? Summer of 1989 was crazy. I saw this at least five times in the theater. It was the one original choice in a sea of sequels.
Did you ever react with the devil in the pale TH-cam light?
Believe it or not, Michael Keaton was actually panned by some people before the movie was even released because he was a stand up comedian and had done comedies before becoming Batman. A lot of people didn't like his casting. But in my view, he's the best Batman. We can debate whether this or Dark Knight are the best Batman movies ever, but Michael Keaton is perfect for this role. He's not overplaying it and making it obvious he's Batman as Bruce Wayne, but there are moments where he cracks and shows that he has some issues related to his parents' death. He's also the only guy who looks cool and sounds cool as Batman. He's not making a funny voice. And Tim Burton was the right guy in the 80s and 90s to do a Batman movie. It's just unfortunate that "concerned parents" whined and complained about Batman Returns, which hopefully you'll get to. It goes dark. That's all I'll say. Parents were not happy and it led to Batman Forever and then the worst superhero movie ever made, Batman and Robin. All because a bunch of whiny parents who grew up with far darker movies didn't think their kids should watch Batman Returns.
Let this movie and the sequel teach everyone the truth, Batman kills. With extreme enjoyment too
You guys should watch Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
Great reaction guys but you really have to check out Mystery Men from 1999!
I cant believe that you guys haven't seen Tim Burton's Batman.
Now that you mention it, I think Batman should throw the stolen stuff in the arms of the little boy from the beginning while his parents are fighting. And then fly away like the classic image from the Animated Series
People will alwasy debate who's the best Joker, me it's jack. I know Herath was amazing.
speaking of sadistic mimes, you guys should watch Terrifier for Halloween this year!
Gotta watch #2 with Penguin
As good as this movie is, the next one-Batman Returns-is even better. I’d put it in the top 10 best films ever made.
Now do the second one!
Joe chill is the one that killed bruces parents
Got to bear in mind the kind of storyteller Burton is. Realism isn't ever one of his goals. Expect gothic camp.
Mark hammel channels jack nicholson to be joker keven conroy took michael keaton as batman and turned it up to 11
The trope of batman not killing started with adam west batman thrn the graphic novel thr dark knight returns gave batman his brutality back, then this movie toned it down actually then the animated series key audience of teenss couldnt have batman killing but blunt force brain damage is ok but in reallity in the comics batman probly dropped as many bodys as joker
"imagine being mugged by a gang of mimes?" What did they say? Ummm
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice 2024
Just so you know, Nolan was the one who pushed that Batman doesn't kill, and the comics recently have as well (past 30 years or so), but Batman most certainly has killed in the comics.
If these movies are supposed to be spun off the batman and Robin tv series where is Robin in the movies after all they were the dynamic duo. But no batman movie has Robin in it. Or the other characters except the joker
saw this in the movies when it came out, felt it was a bit long but really disliked the tie in songs where joker is dancing etc. the eighties movies had way too many interrupt main story for a music video dance segment thing. but did otherwise enjoy it.
Bruce wayne didnt become batman til he was 30 bruce wayne was a "reclyse" during that time wayne enterpruses didnt even know what he looked like batman only been around 6 months at the beginung so vickie not knowing who bruce was is an esy mistake no one did
Not knowing what Bruce Wayne looks like is one thing, but everyone at the paper would know who he is and what happened to his parents. Vicki just came to Gotham, so I can see why she wouldn't know.
@@williamshelton4318 they might have but once again bruce had only been back to gotham 6 months and this might have been his first party back when you throw an im the richest person in the world party everyone that can afford a tux ahows up
Can y'all do Batman Returns?
Bruce Wayne is not batman, batman is Bruce Wayne
The colors in the transfer y'all watched looked horribly faded... was it a 4k or an HD stream of the film? I ask that because I own the original 1989 VHS and the colors were a lot more vivid and gritty than this.
