      Interesting observation there Jonah; there was always too much lag between the cinema run finishing and VHS rental at the video store.

    Interesting tidbit about the surgeon scene. The medical tools (“see what I have to work with”) are the same props/dentist equipment used in Little Shop of Horrors from 1986. While it’s an adaptation of the stage musical, that movie is also a remake of the 1960 version, which coincidentally was one of Jack Nicholson’s first ever movies, he was a patient in the dentist office and got his teeth/smile worked on and enjoyed pain

    You didn’t hit my favorite tidbit!!!
    The Axis Chemicals Jack Napier fall. When Batman catches Napier and then drops him, we see a closeup of Batman’s face. There are two different ways to see that shot, and once you know the second one, you can never UNSEE it. Keaton has said that he wanted that moment to be when Batman subconsciously recognized Jack Napier as the murderer of his parents, and dropped him on purpose. So, the first way you read Keaton’s face as “Holy shit, I can’t hold this guy anymore.” But the SECOND way, you can see it in his face when he decides. And it makes him shake because he knows he shouldn’t do it. But he does! How cool is that?!

    Jack Nicholson said of his role, "The thing I like about the Joker is that his sense of humor is completely tasteless." He later said The Joker was one of his favorite roles he played.
    Michael Keaton came up with the famous "I'm Batman" line. The line in the script was "I am the night".
    This movie was released the year of the character's 50th anniversary.
    Jack Nicholson admitted in an interview that he was an enormous comic book fan in the era where Batman first appeared, and that the Joker was his favorite character from the comics.
    Michelle Pfeiffer, who was dating Michael Keaton at that time, was asked to audition for Vicki Vale, but Keaton was against it, saying it would be awkward. Pfeiffer would later be cast as Selina Kyle/Catwoman in Batman Returns (1992) alongside with Keaton.
    First Batman adaptation to depict the Joker's origin story. It remained the only film to do this until Batman: The Killing Joke (2016), whose source material was a big inspiration in the making of this movie
    The first Batman movie to win an Academy Award (for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration). It was followed by The Dark Knight (2008) with two wins.

      Romanticized? Yeah. Underneath the tough exterior of Batman is the emotionally troubled heart of eccentric recluse billionaire Bruce Wayne and that awkward dysfunctional relationship with Vicki Vale that Wayne's guardian butler Alfred kept encouraging out of a concern for Bruce Wayne's health. Camp? Tim Burton explained, "I felt it should not be too dark or too campy - I was right in the middle about it. So I pitched 'true' Batman - not the [Adam West Batman (1966)] TV series and yet not [Death Wish (1974)] this extremely dark, unhumorous thing. Batman began as a dark detective. Batman is at heart a vigilante. The only way I could create a Death Wish-type situation was by balancing Batman's crime-stopping antics with absurd humor. The humor is very important to me. I was determined to take it back to a darker vision, a dark melodrama, but with absurd humor. A sense of a mixture of the light and the dark, the funny and the tragic... It's got a mixture of everything."

      There fine movies in their own respect but they don't represent batman for what he is. In the Burton films batman is a killer. He want to kill joker for revenge which batman would never do. It's Batmans number one rule, it's what gives him and joker their chemistry because joker likes to drive into batman to the limit where he will eventually will break down batman and will make the point that no one is good forever. But batman never gives up and that's what joker is shocked by and interests him because he is always doing something worse then the last to eventually meet his goal. Thats what makes the dark night movies superior in every aspect. But im not saying you cant have fun watching the burton films because I like them in their own respect.

    I think the spoof commercial bit when the Joker hijacks the TV signals is just the most accurate representation of the Joker we've ever had on screen. It's a sort of dark, macabre parody of ridiculous commercials, where he threatens the entire city of Gotham and laughs while doing so. What's so deeply flawed about Ledger and Phoenix's performances is that they've taken the comedian out of the Joker, and that deeply breaks the character.

Had never seen anything like it before, and it stuck with me. And all these years later, I can still nearly quote this film by heart.
    Side note: my dad said he was never able to finish watching this movie because it was so dark that he'd always fall asleep on the couch when it was in tv.😂 (RIP, dad..😢)

    • @UnrealTech9403

      It's one of my favorite movies and I think it's one of the best movies ever made. The writing is incredible. It's probably the best looking movie ever made. The use of themes and imagery is brilliant. The best Joker, he pulls off the psychopath better than any other Joker and his laugh makes Ledger's look amateur. Ledger's Joker is one dimensional and has no arc, 89 Joker has an arc and his character is juxtaposed against Batman the entire time. One scene leads to the next always using themes and images to contrast and compare the two main characters.
      It's just so good, the visuals are incredible. It looks as good as Star Wars. Batman is mysterious which I love. The way Joker asks Batman questions that makes the audience wonder the same thing. It's just brilliant on all levels, a masterpiece. The writing is so good I put it above any Star Wars movie that's for sure. It's up their with Godfather, Citizen Kane and Gone With The Wind. It's the culmination of immense talent and passion in a perfect moment in time that resulted in a film noire detective movie with romance, intrigue and suspense with an antagonist that was truly frightening. He makes Ledger's Joker seem like a teddy bear.
      You could teach an entire movie making course on this one movie because the use of story elements is pure genius. The movie starts out foreshadowing a flashback... the first scene starts brilliant and it doesn't stop until the final credits. I could talk about it for days because it's so darn good, it makes every other super hero movie look lazy and uninspired. Every line of dialogue, every scene, every shot, every angle has so much attention to detail and forethought I'll never get sick of it. Best Batman movie, best detective movie, best film noire, best superhero movie, best looking movie ever. It's lightning in a bottle, that moment in time is gone immediately after. Batman Returns while a decent movie isn't 1% as good as the masterpiece of 89 Batman, the bigger budget and lack of restraint took away what made the original what it is. An all time great masterful work of art. I've never seen a movie with even a fraction of the attention to detail as this movie, including Star Wars, Avatar or anything.
      Each scene is saturated with so many layers of symbolism and storytelling in a way no one else has even come close to. The Nolan movies seem so hollow and one dimensional in comparison I can't even bare to watch them. There's nothing to them. It's just surficial, bland and loud. There's nothing to dig into because there's only one layer.

      That style would definitely fit with Riddler as the main villain, he's that sort of character who wants to mentally torture Batman as much as possible, plus it'd be nice to see more of the detective side of Batman on screen

I remember the insane batmobile grapple hook timing to turn corners, the tower scene at the end and that insane laugh box at the end of the game.

    Niyck? Neye-Key. Despite its flaws I love this movie. The most irritating element is Vicki Vale's damsel in distress yelling. But Kim is Helen of Troy so I'm good with it. Nicholson's Palance impression is one of the greatest moments in cinematic history.

    • @heydannypark
      @heydannypark 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For me, the most irritating, bizarre point is the night wing getting shot down scene. Dear God. So I guess Batman can't hit a target because....it's the main antagonist? This was the best they could do to get Bats out of the wing and down to confront Joker face-to-face? Also, I had completely forgotten the night wing has a targetting system before these guys reminded me. Sorry, but C'mon! (And is it just me, or did Batman totally buy that thing from Luke Skywalker? [Hey! He plays Joker!]) Anyway, the nail in this coffin, again, for me, is the pants gun for some reason. That he pulls a 3 ft. long revolver from his pants...AND it can blow the goddamned nightwing out of the sky?! So, the Joker's aim, with a gun a yard long, pointed at a friggin' MOVING AIRCRAFT, is apparently better than Batman's aim? How far am I pushing my suspension of disbelief? It sucks because I think the night wing is so cool and there's lots of other great stuff in the movie. Love Keaton, love the whole cast. The too-long dinner table? Hell yeah. "Let's get crazy." "I'm Batman." Great lines among many. Joker getting his ass kicked. Lots of good stuff, but I guess it's the camp/comic bookish aspect that - overall - takes me out of the movie. Conversely, I love the Nolan trilogy. Love. The. Nolan. Trilogy. So think of all the adjectives you hear when those films are brought up. Gritty. Stark. Grounded in reality. Totally more my style. But wait! I like the '60's Batman! That's so camp it has tents and bears and marshmallows. So Maybe it was Burton trying to walk the line between between camp and grounded? (Just wanted to say here that Tim Burton shall receive no blame here from me, because Tim Burton made Edward Scissorhands. Oh, and also, who gives a shit?) But hey, for any mistakes Burton's version made, (say it with me), at least it wasn't Batman & Robin. Or Batman Forever. Or these nevermind. I'm stopping before I fall any further down the Bat-hole.

  • @RetroMaticGamer

    Actually, Superman 1978 and Superman II 1980 were the movies that made comic character movies get taken seriously in a modern, serious sense. Burton’s Batman, Fox’s X-Men, and the MCU just freshened up the same formula started by Christopher Reeve & Gene Hackman.

  • @clamstain
    @clamstain 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Burton's rationale for casting Keaton made sense to me. People suggested Arnold or whatever huge action guys, but Burton's view was, the whole point is that he needs to be a normal or even a sort of wimpy guy, who has to transform himself to let out this other side of him. If Bruce Wayne was already a jacked or intimidating guy, it wouldn't make sense

      Prince is great, but having multiple Prince songs very much screams "THIS IS THE 80's!" whereas most of the movie feels like a mix of a bunch of different eras that's hard to pin down.
