Those bells, still resonates in me after all these years! The movie that changed Batman forever! My childhood in a nutshell was rewinding this thousand of times this, on my VHS! Epic moments!
The bells and Batman on the ledge staring at the bat signal give me chills to this day. Danny Elfmans score is the cherry on top. It can be debated what the best Batman film is but the aesthetics in Burtons film are the best IMO.
Seeing Batman standing on lookout over Gotham with those bells ringing gave me chills down my spine when I was eight. Does the same thing at 42 years old…the best super hero movie closing scene ever. No contest.
I love this ending so much since I was 4... Always thought Kim basinger was so beautiful and this ending brought out her beauty. That plain and simply is the best ending to a movie
That ending track is so damn good it gave me goosebumps. Back in the early 2000s when I first saw this movie, and even now, when I'm in my 20s. Enduring, Heroic, and Triumphant.
You know why you feel that way because this Batman movie was the first ever Batman to be turned into a motion picture in human history.So its historic and it broke box office records in the theater and was in the guiness book of records back then.That movie so much money like close to a billion dollars at the time.Its my favorite Batman movie too because it's original
Because they were. Comic book films today feel formulaic and don't take much risks. I think it's why Joker and Logan were so successful, they told familiar stories but in their own unique ways.
I can imagine Penguin watching what was going on from one of the sewer grates. He was probably thinking about Batman being some competition. Imagine if Penguin decided to emerge from the sewer during the events of this movie and he teamed up with Joker.
@@ryanstauffer119 yeah lol, that would be nice. he could learn from joker's mistakes and make himself look good in front of everyone, like he did for a while in Batman Returns.
Ladies and gentlemen, if ever in a film there was a score of victory, a score for justice and a score for triumph, this closing, riveting score is it. Danny Elfman successfully put together the chords that unlocks the feeling of a superhero's victory in all of us.
@@ajdoyle8869 Gonna sound mad, but Ben Afflecks batman was very under rated, he deserved his own solo movie written by someone competent. Not saying hes the best but criminally under rated.
@@flashthompson6631 Dark Knight doesn’t honor the source material, it’s Nolan’s interpretation and he watered down Batman & everything else. This is the most comic accurate version especially when it comes to the Joker so it’s my favorite. It’s the most entertaining, has the most personality & the artistic design is out of this world. Nolan’s city looks like any old city, but Burton’s looks like Gotham.
I saw it when it came out in the theatre and I can assure you it was an epic movie. It was every bit as good back then as the Christopher Nolan trilogy was from recent times. Prior to this movie, all you had was the goofy low budget television show from the 60's with Adam West. This was miles ahead of that stuff.
I was 7 when this came out and you couldn't go ANYWHERE without seeing the Bat logo all over the place. The action figures couldn't stay on the shelves, any type of Batman merchandise sold out, every kid was either Batman or the Joker for Halloween that year.
I love how they did Gotham City in this Batman. It looked straight out of the comic and suited the overall batman vibe so well. The Nolan one was pretty much New York...
My suspension of disbelief is very unstable when it comes to Nolan’s Gotham in the second and third movies. I seriously find myself pausing to ask myself “Ok, but how does Batman move around this place? He’s not Spider-Man.”
He would be 2nd for me my first would be Ben Affleck as I felt he captured the Dark Knight Returns Batman nearly perfectly. My 3rd would be Christian Bale then 4th Pattinson Batman.
He Also Doesn't Know That Bruce Wayne Is Batman, But Bruce Wayne/Batman Knows That Jack Napier Is The Joker In Batman 1989. Joker Thought He Killed Bruce Wayne, But Bruce Wayne Had Tricked Him By Putting Vicki Vale's Bullet Proof Make Up Base On His Suit To Make The Joker Shot Him And Bruce's Plan Worked, But The Joker Didn't Know That Bruce Wayne Is Still Alive.
0:34 - Harvey Dent: “We’ve received a letter from Batman this morning. Please inform the citizens of Gotham, that Gotham City has earned a rest from crime. But if the forces of evil should rise again. To cast a shadow on the heart of the city. Call me.” Alexander Knot: “One question: how do we call him?” Commissioner Gordon: “He gave a signal!” 1:03 - Commissioner Gordon flashes the Bat-Signal.
Everything is just like comic book. Art, ambiance, characters everything. God why cant they use this a blueprint to make more films just like this? This is Batman.
Its been so long since I've seen this movie and its holds up as well as I remember it. What makes this movie so good is that there was nothing for it to live up to so Tim Burton could have creative liberties to make it unique and artistic in his own style. Everything a director wants. It can even be watched as a stand alone movie.
Kim Basinger was a last minute replacement for Sean Young who was originally cast as Vicki. A horse riding accident sidelined her and Kim was contacted right before they started shooting the movie
Danny Elfman was the producer for the music in this and just about every other film worth speaking of in the 1980’s and 1990’s. He had at least a decade, if not 2, of absolute dominance in the film industry. Absolutely brilliant man.
I still remember how overwhelming it was, watching in theatres, back in 89, as a 10 year old, the image of Batman in that height, contemplating the Batsignal, to the tune of those bells… still gives me goosies, 33 years later…
Batman is another movie that really hasn't aged. Due to its use of practical effects and the mix of modern at the time and 1930s style, you really cannot pinpoint when it takes place. While The Dark Knight is a better movie...this is the definitive Batman.
Yep! I loved how it adapted that timeless look Gotham has in the comic-books, something that carried over to Batman: The Animated Series and has will thankfully be adapted in The Batman. I'm just not a big fan of the modern day Chicago look of the TDK trilogy.
@Garrett Smith What's the matter, you don't like a stupid Commisioner Gordon pathetically pontificating to a girly-boy kid about the definition of Batman in the most inappropriate time and place for the weakest lecture in all of human history?? 🤣
Its amazing to me how many supposed Fanboys and comic Traditionalists, who are SOO quick to "correct " all the deviations made by filmmakers, are often themselves completely unaware that there was a time in the very early comics(Golden Age era) where Batman DID kill on occasion. He didn't start out with a "One Rule." Alot of people for some reason think he did. In fact no comic book character(Not even Superman) before the 1950's and 60s had a rule against lethal force. That came about after a bunch of do-gooders got the comic industry to censor itself. To essentially make the characters more "Kid Friendly." That's literally the only reason any of them have the rigid rules and tropes that they do. Bill Finger and Bob Kane had a more gritty vision for Bats than what the watered down cliched version ended up being. So in reality the general take of Burton, Snyder and presumably Reeves on Batman is more connected to the core vision of Finger and Kane then really any rendition we've seen in film, animation, or video games.
Who cares? No-killing rule is an easy example of "art through adversity," the origins were corporate but in actuality it made the character more interesting and gave him better stories. Many comic characters were created by their creators with different intentions than they end up going down the line, might as well make a Deadpool movie where he's a regular assassin and nothing else since he was created to be a Deathstroke clone and nothing else. Batman became anything but "watered down," those original stories are ass, just standard hard boiled detective stories that every comic and radio show was writing at the time. In regards to this movie you can say the same thing, everything was changed not for artistic innovation but to make it more palatable to average audiences, Joker kills Batman's parents because a run of the mill revenge motivation is literally the best Burton can come up with. It's not a bad movie, but it's not even close to a "true to character" adaptation for the flimsy reasons you've stated. But enjoy you're mediocre 1920's 10 cent comics I guess.
It’s unfortunate that the first film ended up being the best one in the original Batman series. They really didn’t get why this movie was a big success when they made the 3 sequels.
I think it's because the 89 Batman is one of the few live action Batman films that had the perfect tone. The film can be dark and disturbing but it still has a sense of fun and adventure to it.
Wayne's apex in this Universe; the Joker has just been defeated and Gotham has embraced its mysterious & dark vigilante as the City's Champion; it all went downhill for him after this.
I only wish that that Warner Brothers let Tim Burton finish his Batman trilogy. Batman and Batman Returns are the greatest Batman movies of all time. If the Burton trilogy was complete it would have been the greatest Batman trilogy of all time.
At that moment, what we had to beat in live action were still those nuances of the series with Adam West and that comical feel that was very little aligned with the comics. As a child not even 10 years old in Brazil (where old American series were constantly shown on TV) I had a phenomenal impact caused by this film. In addition to the hype created at that time around this production, there are fond memories of my father taking me to the cinema to see this film and still being faced with such an emotional and satisfying ending. I remember that my school notebooks had images from the film on the cover and I completed an album of stickers exclusive to that film.
"Public safety in Gotham City is no longer a laughing matter." Gets to me. And 2:30 says to me "The Savior, Protector, and Champion of Gotham City: Batman"
You know I was born in 88 and I lose my way often. Yet since I was raised on such a great standing of a superhero it just gets me in gear. God bless the mfucking 89 Batman
Had this movie been a one and done, I think everyone would have been satisfied with it as a stand-alone Batman film. Not that there isn't a campy charm to Batman Returns, but this was the only one of the 80's-90's Batman films that really seemed to take itself seriously.
Without their magic computers for unrealistic achievements, I wouldn't trust any of those so-called heroes in the MCU to be able to even make a bed without pissing and moaning about it for hours until they were able to get started. They all act like 13 year old boys who never even bothered to learn how to get off of their mother's breast milk. The fact that people will immediately argue with this obvious realization is why I wouldn't have a problem going to jail for punching people who deserve it in public anymore. Far too many of you sissies around! But not you; I agree with you! :}
Many years later, I still get happy tears with the music and the way batman looks at his signal. The ending music is the most triumphant I have ever heard. I know, I'm a sloppy wuss lol.
Gordon: Our police have rounded up all of the Joker’s men. The reign of crime is now over. Public safety in Gotham is no longer a laughing matter. Dent: We received a letter from Batman this morning. “Please inform the citizens of Gotham that Gotham City has earned its rest from crime. But if the forces of evil should rise again to cast a shadow on the heart of the city, call me.” Knox: Question. How do we call him? Gordon: He gave us a signal. 1:03 🦇
The part where Vicki looks up into the sky and sees the bat signal while the melancholic theme plays always stuck out in my mind. Just brings me back to my childhood, dressed up as Batman while watching this movie on cable TV at night 😢

Nearly 35 years later, this is still the most epic ending of any Batman movie.
Most epic ending of any comic book movie period
Facts
I prefer the one from Begins but they're both amazing
I fully agree with this statement. But I do think the Batman Begins ending was also pretty damn good. Still, Batman 89' edges slightly.
This isn't the most epic comic book movie ending title ever.
Those bells, still resonates in me after all these years! The movie that changed Batman forever!
My childhood in a nutshell was rewinding this thousand of times this, on my VHS! Epic moments!
still my friend..yes the f bells
Bro this was nuts. Nothing even gets close to its epicness. Perfection
The bells and Batman on the ledge staring at the bat signal give me chills to this day. Danny Elfmans score is the cherry on top. It can be debated what the best Batman film is but the aesthetics in Burtons film are the best IMO.
Years later this is still my favorite ending to any Batman movie...
My 2nd one is Dark Knight.
Burton’s original cinematic masterpiece - there’s no comparisons
It will always be my favourite Batman film ending
EPIC!
That music was awesome too!
Burton made the best Batman movie !
tdkr's ending pretty dope too
Seeing Batman standing on lookout over Gotham with those bells ringing gave me chills down my spine when I was eight. Does the same thing at 42 years old…the best super hero movie closing scene ever. No contest.
I love this ending so much since I was 4... Always thought Kim basinger was so beautiful and this ending brought out her beauty. That plain and simply is the best ending to a movie
MASoulChild85 Let’s do the math, shall we?
Batman + Kim Basinger + Vicki Vale = good guy
Cool World + Kim Basinger + Holli Would = bad guy
See her getting banged a bit in 8 mile lol Yessssss oh cool world I remember that, that with Brad Pitt awsome movie

Amazing how older superhero films can feel so artistic and even experimental.
Because they were. Comic book films today feel formulaic and don't take much risks. I think it's why Joker and Logan were so successful, they told familiar stories but in their own unique ways.

That ending is so truimphent🎉
Many years later, I still get happy tears with the music and the way batman looks at his signal. The ending music is the most triumphant I have ever heard.
I know, I'm a sloppy wuss lol.
Gordon: Our police have rounded up all of the Joker’s men. The reign of crime is now over. Public safety in Gotham is no longer a laughing matter.
Dent: We received a letter from Batman this morning. “Please inform the citizens of Gotham that Gotham City has earned its rest from crime. But if the forces of evil should rise again to cast a shadow on the heart of the city, call me.”
Knox: Question. How do we call him?
Gordon: He gave us a signal.

Danny Elfman sure hit a grand slam with this one. 🔥
How awful do Batman Forever and Batman and Robin look in comparison to this movie? Pretty bad.
Michael Martinez those two movies were pretty much 1 and half hour Toy commercials
@@jarrodbushyhead Mostly Batman and Robin.
@@LordMalice6d9 yes Batman and Robin was a horrible movie. Forever was slightly better
Batman Forever was too neurotic, Batman and Robin was between porn movie setting with nipple costume and big toy commercial
The part where Vicki looks up into the sky and sees the bat signal while the melancholic theme plays always stuck out in my mind. Just brings me back to my childhood, dressed up as Batman while watching this movie on cable TV at night 😢
Crazy to think vicki left him not too long after this lol for this same reason
