Michael Keaton had the best Batman cowl. His facial expressions as Batman looked perfect. I always liked the cold freaky glare he gave as Batman and the way he even smiled at times as Batman. He definitely looked the role.
I know what you mean. That's the Keaton smile. He'd do it in BeetleJuice too. That sort of psycho grin. Same expresion when he defies the joker in Vicky's house and gets shot in the chest. Imo it gives some depht to the character.
I agree. It gave the character more personality while still managing to make him dark and scary. It's not just the smile though. The way he coldly glared as Batman whenever he wore the cowl looked perfect. He always looked intimidating whenever he wore the suit. Something I feel that the other Batman actors lacked cause at times their facial expressions as Batman looked silly.
Conspiracy Bullshit I think tim wanted someone with the persona of ted bundy rather than a typical hero,look up ted bundy on Google & you will see what i mean,he was even referred in batman returns.
Bat Man Well whatever he was aiming for I like it and it fits Batman well. Keaton's persona as Batman was closest to the character in my opinion. I like the chill and silent and mysterious personality of his Batman. It's how Batman acts in the comics.
Conspiracy Bullshit I am only saying it was a good thing,best thing about Keaton is he was not acting as batman,he was Batman, that makes his version stand out till today,& will be forever.
There's an interview Keaton did where he mentioned what happened when he turned his head. He was able to, but it badly warped the "mouth" of the cowl. So from the sounds of it, he basically did the Bat-turn because turning his head made the cowl look ugly and not because he literally couldn't.
@@edwinmalachy That's taking things a bit literally. Costumes and vehicles and other props made for movies are often not functional or practical in real life. That doesn't mean within the movie's world, that Bruce literally set out to make a suit that's inflexible and hard to see and hear out of.
@@sexcorpio6976 if Val Kilmer’s suit was grey and didn’t have the nipples and was a fabric is would have been amazing I don’t know why someone hasn’t looked at the Kilmer suit and thought let’s improve this I even thought that Clooney’s suit having a dark Blue colour was cool give the comics has a blue glare coming off of it
Jodan_Fournier Yeah that suit is good, but my favourite suit is Adam west's 🤣🤣🤣 only joking mine Is either Christian bales in begins or Ben Affleck in Batman V superhuman
@@jordanfournier4366 The nipples weren't THAT big a deal ... just became a meme that everyone needs to repeat, pretending they're clever. 😂 ... Watching the movie in the theater the first time, I barely noticed thee nipples. Schumacher was kind of weird with the addition of the nips, and the 'look at my batman ass' shots ... but none of that ruined the suit ... They sort of perfected this Burton era bat suit when they made Batman Forever in my view.
I remember back in the day when I was a kid, went to the theater with my cousin to wactch the movie and I remember the 1st time Michael Keaton showed up as Batman, people exploded in joy! and ever since, Michael Keaton is the true Batman for me.
CazzSDMF : NOBODY noticed, it fit his strict personality of viscious dicipline. NOBODY noticed because he was so dam cool! But Bale Begins?...EVERYBODY notices that stupid hulk voice lol how could somebody NOT notice!
Doc: No, he is talking about what loud weaknesses that are easily noticeable. Restrictive suit was a weakness nobody had really noticed, that "restrictiveness" was a quality that kinda melded nicely with his personality. While bale begins weakneses EVERYBODY noticed. Who told Bale he was supposed to read his lines like he's the Hulk?? lol
@@paulpolpiboon9535 dude, I'm not being an asshole but WHAT?!?? Nothing you've just said makes much sense. First off, he was not talking about anything tgat had to do with bales voice, he was simply talking about the restrictiveness of the costume, idk where the fuck you got that from. Secondly, nobody griped about bales voice after Batman begins, do you not remember That? His voice was absolutely fine in that movie. It was only after tdk that people started talking about how bad it sounded and even then, restrictiveness HAD NOTHING TO DO with it.
I loved this suit the most from the long ears to the all black, the intention between his eyes that made me look intemidating. Mainly why the suit worked is also cuz how burton and Keaton worked with the character how he’s in the shadows or gliding up in his smoke bombs. I thought the other Batman suits always look goofy even Nolan’s at times but still the second best minus bale in it lol
I met Adam West a few months after the 1989 Batman movie release in an empty Hollywood Universal Studios restaurant. From far across the room I heard his distinctive voice and immediately knew it was him. Mr West was very approachable and friendly. I thanked him for my fond childhood memories of the TV series. My wife told him he should have been the 1989 Batman. Adam thanked her for the kind sentiment.
He really wanted to be Batman for that film but it would have been laughable. Keaton owned the role for that dark, brooding Batman. But West owned it for the campy tv series. I still think it would have been nice to see West as a cameo in the movie though.
Psyko Red agreed. While I liked Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne, his Batman was too much of an attempt at portraying Batman, and that voice, ugh. With Keaton, it’s more natural. He’s not portraying Batman, he is Batman
It's funny to think today that people love Keaton's and Affleck's Batman, completely forgetting that everyone went completely batshit fucking insane when they were both first announced. (Pun intended)
So many people look back and call this ridiculous. They forget that without THESE concepts and all this work and the people who done it, Batman would still look like the Adam West era, a light, comedic hero. These people there launched Batz to the dark.
How is this ridiculous though?! Although I watched the Dark Knight Trilogy at the cinema, I didn't watch this film until last year (I was born in the 90s) and I was blown away by the aesthetics of this film.....and the theme music was so much better than Hans Zimmer's as well... didn't realise this film's influence on the Batman franchise until I watched it.
@@blakemcnamara9105 I don't mean the comics and books, but the video media. And three topics: Miller wasn't the only one to make a dark and violent tone for the character. Bat's first tale against Alfred Stryker has him thrown into a vat of acid - the basis for the joker tale by Alan Moore, and yes, I know Alfred Stryker and the Joker aren't the same character. Second, Miller didn't directed any movie - despite colaborating in scripts - up until 2005, whereas Burton carrer in direction started in '85. Third, Miller's work influence due to his work is here to this day. He was one of the first storytellers in the superhero genre to take stories to take on grit to supass the conventions of society to achieve justice, rather than being guided solely by kindness.
@@DrowningInTea Most of my friends called Burton's film boring and cheesy and always picked up on me when we talked about superheroes. Plus, born in the 90's too. Glad to see I'm not the only fan of this film.
Jack Nicholson's Joker in this movie was a mixture of intelligence with insanity and so appropriate especially when he was endorsing his Joker formula in live TV.
jeremy moviefan exactly, this is the perfect Batman and the perfect Joker in my opinion, even better than Nolan’s Dark Knight but saying that out loud would seem to be odd by others
Great piece of costume design, but I think the great strength in this film is how it's presented - the lighting, how they introduced Batman, Keaton's voice and movements. As they admitted themselves it was a rather restrictive suit in terms of movement so it all came together well through collaboration.
tbh i didnt realize how comic accurate the suit was until i saw the first 2 seconds and it hit me that basically every comic book batman suits are like that
There is one essential reason why this version of the batsuit/cowl is the best, and subsequently why Keaton is the best Batman... He's the only actor who has ever gotten away with smiling or smirking in the suit and still looking menacing, still looking like Batman, and even then, only in this first movie.
Just the sheer menace the 89' cowl had was absolute perfection and one that hasn't been duplicated since! The fact it's still the most beloved look and version of the character just goes to show just how ahead of it's time it was!...I like a mean lookin batman and they nailed it with that design! Cant wait to see the GOAT return as bats in the new "Flash" film coming out next year! Just hope they dont tamper with cowl design too too much. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy an updated interpretation, more modernized version of a 32 year old design, but dont fix what isnt broken plz! Lol. Only slight mods but please dont go crazy! Just hire me, I got you! Lol. Cool vid btw 👌
I mean it’s been duplicated in the sense that clearly every Bat-Suit since this film has drawn inspiration from the 89 suit. Even if it’s just the molded brow.
"Superheroes is what [Bob] does best" is a weird backhanded complement given that Bob Ringwood only did superhero costumes for Batman, Batman Returns, and The Shadow. Those are all great suits, but the variety there is quite limited for a guy who has done quite a mix of movies outside of superheroes
I really love how the suit looks in this movie but I think the suit from the second movie looks better. They fixed the bat logo, and I like how it looks more like armor instead of real anatomy.
Keaton is the best Batman because he did the best job of selling Wayne and Batman as two different people. He makes it believable that no one would ever think that Bruce Wayne and Batman are the same man. The scene where he brings Vale back to the Batcave and you obviously know who Batman is but the way he talks and behaves you as a viewer almost forget that Batman is Bruce Wayne and that the Batcave underneath Wayne Manor. You as a viewer are almost in the same situation as Vikki Vale in that moment that you do not know who this person is or where you are. They say the mark of a good actor is not complaining about the uncomfortable elements of a role (the make-up, the costumes, etc.) and working through that to give an excellent performance. In that respect, Michael Keaton is a grade-A actor. Just as nobody else could have played the Joker but Jack Nicholson in that film I genuinely believe that nobody else could have been Batman but Michael Keaton. He and Kevin Conroy will always be MY Batman.
Michael Keaton and Burton did a very well job with the first Batman movie. Batman is very dark and mysterious and I think this representation was there in de 1989 film. I think this is the only way why Batman is able to do what he does, to work in the shadows with great fighting skills and rich and smart enough to use the most modern technololgy. Ben Effleck is very slow and dull as Batman. Hope they will be able to make a cool Batman movie again.
I also wore the suit, because I wanted to understand what Michael was going through, it has nothing to do with me just wishing I was Batman, nothing at all
I would love to see a live-action rendition of Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns with Keaton reprising his role as Batman and Mark Hammil playing a live-action Joker for that film. Maybe bring back Tommy Lee as Two-Face and really make it a treat for fans.
Am I fabricating memories or did Keaton own horses for riding? If that's the case, I wonder if he'd perform his own ride for the Dark Knight' s steed chargings.
In retrospect, they should've kept the original design of the suit for the sequel. The idea was to convey the illusion of a supernatural organic creature of the night. Making it segmented body armor takes away that illusion and just leaves a guy in a tactical suit. It's the same thing that happened with Christian Bale in the dark Knight. When you lost that bulk that the first suit provided, he was just another guy dressed up as a bat.
One of the reasons why I like this and Returns's suit better than the others is because besides the color swap from blue and grey to just black, it literally looks like the comics. More notably, Marshall Rodgers's or Neal Adam's art style translated to live action. They didn't morphed the ears, or drawed lines all over it or plastic peices all over. It's just the suit from the comics just darker. Even when he's silhouetted in the church scene, he looks like a demon wondering the shadows.
Just was suggested this video in March, 2020, by TH-cam. Thought this was a joke video about Batman’s new coronavirus mask costume - based on the thumbnail.
I would love for Tim Burton and Michael Kenton to come back and finally make Batman 3. I want it, you want it, everyone wants it. Someone needs to make it happen before its too late.
El unico batman el mas recordado por muchas cosas el mejor traje el mejor logo insignia el mejor batimovil la major banda sonora la mejor interpretación de batman Keaton que mas se puede decir batió record me acuerdo en Estados Unidos se hacia cola que doblaba una cuadra para ver a batman
He definitely comes across as that in interviews, but I’m curious to know what he’s like on set. Based on his designs and the performances he pulls from his actors it seems to me that he can communicate what he wants from his co-workers.
That style type of batman i am into is the blue and grey costume blue batcape cowl gloves spandex speedo briefs and boots with grey shirt with a bat symbol on his chest and grey man pantyhose tights on that bruce wayne usually dresses as Batman. Batman is not the only one with an all plain black batsuit. Cowl and cape. the only person who usually makes a batsuit. Cape and cowl all black is kathy kane who uses it to become batwoman. I may see the black movie batman style in the batman movies 1989 the 90s the 2000s the 2010s and the 2020s but i will see the blue and grey batman style in the 1966 batman movie. I know that batwomans style is all black and red. That is my tribute to batmans style and batwomans style
Michael Keaton had the best Batman cowl. His facial expressions as Batman looked perfect. I always liked the cold freaky glare he gave as Batman and the way he even smiled at times as Batman. He definitely looked the role.

Can you tell me where this interview is?
@@jalenjohnson1662 I can't find it, I'd guess it was from a making of documentary though, possibly on a Batman DVD or Blu-Ray.
I did see him turn his head briefly in Batman Returns when he was fighting off the Penguin's gang.
"all his joints have to be mobile" ...except his neck.
So really a crime fighter is going to wear a suit he can't see out of or hear in and can't move his neck?
So....he couldn't hear??? How did he know when to respond to lines with his lines?
Leonard Dement timing/memorization and maybe some lip reading. Possibly also a lot of ADR.

I recently watched this at a local theatre & it definitely has a graphic novel look to it visually. It looked wonderful.
I really liked the 1989 Batsuit because it was in my favorite color
I'd love to see a movie that had a costume that really looked like the classic comic-book outfit. Affleck's was the closest thus far.
Enjoyed the Nolan films for what they were but the thing they forgot (for me) was a hugely important character. Gotham
Best batsuit..
I really love how the suit looks in this movie but I think the suit from the second movie looks better. They fixed the bat logo, and I like how it looks more like armor instead of real anatomy.
I hope they one day make a Batman movie with the grey and blue suit.
Adam West movie?
They did... in the 60s.
I'd say it's more black and grey in the BTAS show and movies.

im laughing my ass off at the image of tim burton wearing the bat costume

batman ( 1989 ) is the best batman movie ever, and the joker too,
It the most intimidating looking costume
I cant believe they didnt try to offer him pin holes at least for hearing.
Still my favorite Batman costume, possibly the Batman Returns is slightly better. Cowl better but prefer the muscle look on the abs on this one.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought Batman was wearing a Coronavirus face mask
best batman version ever !
I find it funny that they used two different looking cowls in the axis chemicals scene of the movie

It's morning before the shoot and you drank a lot of coffee.
Someone help the dark knight out of his batsuit so he can pee. I did it last time.

I saw this in the theater when I was nine and am 43 now. I just learned that he was wearing freaking Nikes in the movie 😆
still the best looking one of all time
I would love for Tim Burton and Michael Kenton to come back and finally make Batman 3. I want it, you want it, everyone wants it. Someone needs to make it happen before its too late.
Batman ...Michael Keaton el primero gracias Tim Burton
El unico batman el mas recordado por muchas cosas el mejor traje el mejor logo insignia el mejor batimovil la major banda sonora la mejor interpretación de batman Keaton que mas se puede decir batió record me acuerdo en Estados Unidos se hacia cola que doblaba una cuadra para ver a batman
0:55 BATMAN VS CORONAVIRUS
like a real man-bat hybrid 1:18
Never like keaton like Batman but that suit change all for good , Jack Nicholson Best joker
I think that it was a mistake not make the costume like the comics.
I'm always amazed by how inarticulate Tim Burton is.
He definitely comes across as that in interviews, but I’m curious to know what he’s like on set. Based on his designs and the performances he pulls from his actors it seems to me that he can communicate what he wants from his co-workers.
From the special features disc of Batman special edition collection
I hope I can own a Batman suit one day or atleast a cowl
still to this day don’t know what he meant by using a table as a mould
That style type of batman i am into is the blue and grey costume blue batcape cowl gloves spandex speedo briefs and boots with grey shirt with a bat symbol on his chest and grey man pantyhose tights on that bruce wayne usually dresses as Batman. Batman is not the only one with an all plain black batsuit. Cowl and cape. the only person who usually makes a batsuit. Cape and cowl all black is kathy kane who uses it to become batwoman. I may see the black movie batman style in the batman movies 1989 the 90s the 2000s the 2010s and the 2020s but i will see the blue and grey batman style in the 1966 batman movie. I know that batwomans style is all black and red. That is my tribute to batmans style and batwomans style
Remember watching this first time in the theater..by myself..as a kid, blew me away, still does..glad Affleck is out..I vote for John Hamm next.
It’s time for Keaton to return for TDKR
Need to start a movement around this idea
Michael Keaton comes in as the smallest Batman at 5 foot 2 inches tall & weighing 140 Pounds
The Nike shoes are cool for bat boots
Ha, I never realised Batman was wearing Nikes!
The best batman movie ever.. part 2 is realy good 2. The rest are junk
Really bruh so you are saying that the dark knight trilogy is bad?
@@thebatman5852 I think he was talking about the Joel Schumacher movies.
I love batman
Great movie!!
