Jack Nicholson
Jack Napier
Jack Torrance
He is the most definitive Jack of all time
Oh baby!
Like Keanu is the definitive John of all times
Batman
Birdman
Bulture
Michael Keaton is the definitive B man of our time
Definitely a, jack of all trades? 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
Couldn't agree more.
Ah, the eighties. Every movie had a vat of unidentified toxic waste, labeled "toxic waste"
Well, true, there was a fixation on toxic waste back then it seemed like. The Toxic Avenger, Emil in Robocop, the bad guy in Karate Kid 3 owned a toxic waste disposal company. But at least here, it has precedent in the Joker's origins in the comics.
That's the bin where all the toxic waste gets thrown. Doesn't every manufacturing plant have that?
Where can i get some these days to obtain a superpower?
rick and morty figured it out
It was the law
This movie was kind of surreal in how it combined 1940s gangster flick/film noir with late 80s pop music.
Also how it combined the 40s look with modern ( in the 80s) technology .
That's kinda the aesthetic of Gotham. It's... locked in a weird place, where it draws all these dreary noir-ish and gothic (obviously) architecture together. The Animated Series really pronounced it. It's modern enough yet still somehow has 1940's era stuff in it.
Gotham and its setting is as much as a character as Batman. It's dark yes, but wonderful too.
The Cure would have been an ideal soundtrack for the movie
I was wondering why the jokers men where using 1920's era Tommy Guns in 1989.
@@andrewgordon235 To be fair, a .45 SMG is pretty devastating. It's basically an automatic 1911, and those can drop big guys.
2:11 I just love this part and how batman looks. Burton really nailed the shot + lighting and Elfman's score just makes it perfect.
Couldn't have been said any better. The axis chemical had the best batman entrances in any movie!
This was absolutely cutting edge back than. It was hype for 6 months leading to the summer of 1989. Tim Burtons’ Batman for me remains influential even today. The body armour of a suit has influenced all Batman movies since.
And let's not forget the soundtrack for this scene!
@@NoName-jq7tj Batmobile, the pipes and vertical architecture of Gotham. Gotham became a huge character as well. Tim Burton and Danny Elfman gave Gotham such life that it was felt in other media, most notably Batman: The Animated Series.
Pure perfection
Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson were phenomenal such a combo
Perfect casting indeed!
Yeah everyone before it came out was sort of worried Nicholson this legend would eat Keaton alive, this younger more comedic actor, but Keaton gives a really understated low key performance thats perfect.
@@lw3646 he priced every doubter wrong!
yes
@@johnbuck8399 history tells us that people underestimated every Batman/joker cast. But they ended up being phenomenal.
Waiting for Battinson's The Batman patiently!
Does anyone else have this entire scene memorized, even the sound effects? This move shaped my childhood.
🙋🏾♂️ Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !
Every sound memorized.
Played the soundtrack endlessly before and after watching the movie to the point of reciting the dialogue and sound effects just by listening to it.
Joshua Henderson, this is my favorite scene in the movie and I HATED how the new 4K changed the sound effects and gave us no option to hear the original. This clip has the 4K picture and the original sound restored to it.
Yessss
I always kinda liked the idea that his "smile" was an accident mixed with a botched surgery. Really lends to the insanity, pain, irony and sadistic acceptance of truly being a crazy smiling clown.
Hey you saw what that guy had to work with lol
The nerve endings were completely severed.
It's only a little worse than the anti-ageing surgery that some people go through nowadays.
@@rsoulinternet ikr they look like balloons
@@moonwhooper Mob wives
It took me 26 years of my life to finally realize that it wasn't the vat of chemicals that gave the Joker his grin it was the bullet that Batman deflected with his gauntlet cutting into his cheeks as well as the glass
It was the chemicals wasn't it? Same chemicals that become Smylex the product that makes the models and news readers get a grin...again and again
dont think so, the chemicals changed his hair snd face colour. the smile is from the surgeon botching the surgery unless i misinterpreted it
@@yungjefferyLIVE you’re correct
The flying shards of glass cut Jack’s face and caused a Glasgow smile. I don’t think the plastic surgeon necessarily “botched” the operation but he certainly didn’t help much, and since Napier was a wanted man he couldn’t go to a legitimate plastic surgeon for treatment.
I always thought the chemicals ruined his face so the plastic surgeon “fixed” it.
This movie has aged like a fine wine. I love everything about it.
Anxious Samurai yeah those gunshots sound so real
@@thedarkfrost2351 funny because they actually replaced them for the 4k release.
Everything about this is badass
@@thedarkfrost2351 I read that the sound editing was rushed, and they used mostly old sound library stuff which adds to the classic noir feel I guess, but (unpopular opinion) I think the 4K release audio mix gives it new life.
Right? the moment Bats appears with the Elfman score playing in the background is everything.
At 3:55 I love how you can see the cable holding him but they incorporated it into his suit as a grapple. That’s really genius
Agree. BatGadgets are awesome :)
Some of this stuff (wires, the use of miniatures) becomes more obvious watching the blu-ray/4K bluray editions...
I love this movie
Well i think that was kind of the point. Batman is trying to make himself out to be supernatural to up the terror factor for his quarry. Hes using real world tools and techniques like a grapple gun and cables masked by darkness and smoke bombs to reinforce the illusion. Pretty ingenious and true to his character.
Of course, an added benefit is not having to explain the cables they used to film him flying 😄
Yes, that's why he uses the smoke bomb, to make it look like he's flying
@@geedee1264 I think the smoke bomb was more to just disorient those trying to catch him to slow them down.
@@WheelsRCool It's a bit of both.
I was 9 years old when I first saw this in theaters and now I am 42 and I have never gotten tired of this and I still liked how LOL funny Jack Nicholson was as the Joker.
Same here!!!
@@pillowcase2006 Nothing against Heath Ledger but his role as the Joker didn’t catch my attention very well
There is one actor that has always been the perfect Joker since the 90s, even if he was only voicing him: Mark Hamill
I never saw it in theaters but I watched it on vhs til I broke the tape lol I owe some of my childhood to blockbuster video lol
Ma boiii
This was the best Batman
Still is
So that's where my LEGO Batman Nostalgia comes from.
the music always in the lego levels
You thinking of that that acid mission too ?
O yes the level with mad hatter
@@janisw8511 I remember how hard the boss fight was
For real
@4:25 Remember folks, Michael Keaton is the only Batman actor who could smile in costume and seem even more intimidating.
Lol exactly
The Sentinel nah
And Jack Nicholson is the only actor to play the Joker and not need therapy afterwards
BlackSamurai did all the others need therapy cuz they went insane?
That's because he's Beetlejuice.
The way Keaton/Batman moves in this scene is incredible. He isn't very physical, he just sort of glides from place to place, taking out criminals. He definitely gives Batman a supernatural flair that was missing in later films.
Agree. Less-is-more really works well in this movie. I wished there were more fight scenes, though :)
Batman Begins had that in its warehouse scene. It all went downhill after that one, though.
He almost has a slasher villain stalker quality I just loved. He barely speaks too.
@Jimmy Jericho I think dark knight was a lot better.
@Jimmy Jericho
For me it is:
1. Batman Returns
2. Batman Begins
3. Batman
Looking forward to The Batman.
The set design in this was absolutely incredible
Believe it or not, the movie Aliens was filmed there as well
It won the Academy Award
@@jameslouth2503 it's not that strange to use the same movie sets. Many LOTR scenes were shot in large enclosed spaces with few elements and large green screens in the background. In the end, the studios are always the same, only the props change.
The costumes too. Amazing.
The production designer was Anton Furst. Unfortunately, dealing with drug and alcohol problems, he jumped off the 8th floor of a car park and killed himself at 47.
classic color, serious shot, noiric atmosphere, this movie will never get old
2:32, 3:23
Bat-swag
@@pjincho Amazing shots of Batman. I love 1989 batsuit :)
It's already old, that's what makes it beautiful.
Possibly my favourite scene in the film. Batman's lack of dialogue, the steamy dark shadowy environment, the origin of the villain....
Burton knew how to keep Batman mysterious with the (lack of) lighting, camera direction, scenography ...
Having Michael Keaton act as Batman and wear that iconic batsuit, helps too :)
Fat guy always gets it …1980s to 1990s
4:38 Bob said: "c'mon Jack let's go" before Jack falls into the vat of chemicals and becomes Joker and Joe Chill said the exact same thing to Jack when Bruce's parents were murdered by him..
"Bob, gun"
See ya 'round, kid...
Always loved the sound of the bullets ricocheting. Absolute timeless movie, came out when I was just 4.
Nowadays when, or if, I hear said ricochet is brings me back to this film. Classic sound effects to a classic movie!
I was 3, but I had seen it for the first time when I was 6.
That sound is so cheesy lol
All of those sounds are the same ones used in Goldeneye 64. 😁
I saw at 3,4 and 5 years old with my father and sisters on VHS
One thing that these ones lacked is the Gordon Batman partnership
To be fair in the comics during year zero Gordon and the police tried to arrest Batman.
It's an unfortunate flaw with these movies.
@@KolbyGarrett same thing was happening in Batman Begins. But we still got to see Gordon and Batman earn each other's trust. I actually believe this movie would've been perfect if Vicky Vale's role was swapped for Gordon. I don't mean Batman getting laid with Gordon, but rather tnem two acting as a duo trying to solve Joker's case.
@@PidarasVanomas I think Nolan did the right thing expanding on that, especially when you've got such a classic character actor playing Gordon as Gary Oldman
@@PidarasVanomas I almost lost it at Bruce and Gordon getting laid, but yeah I agree they should've given Gordon a bigger role
Always loved that Gordon and Jack are initially horrified by their first sight of Batman. (Although Jack recovers pretty quickly.) Reminds of me that scene in Mask of The Phantasm where Alfred, who has raised Bruce like a son, sees him put on the mask for the first time and is stunned by the monster.
Jack wants to dress up as a Bat too.
if i was Gordon and i saw that "non-sense" of a walking bat-man, I'd be just as horrified and seeking a priest after that night.
Jack "got" what Batman was doing. Using the disguise to intimidate people and create fear.
@@82dorrin I'm gonna say Bob putting the Commish at gunpoint also diminished the threat. Good old Bob!
My appreciation of Michael Keaton portrayal of batman has increased over the years.
Do you have a brother or son named Jason?
I’ve always had that appreciation he is the best!
by far my favorite one. Keaton was it.
ikr without Keaton as batman 🦇 the animated series would not exist
My estimation of Jack Napier as a man just fuckin plummeted.
1:20 Always gives me a chuckle, the way Gordon startles Eckhart!!
And to think, in 2022 Michael Keaton will reprise this role once again.
Can't wait
Can't wait. Michael keaton is best batman
@@scottpalmer5304 yes definitely and especially Batman returns as well.
Hopefully, he'll be able to turn his head this time. Hehehe.
Wait, really? In what movie? I can't wait to see that
I just love how he smiled before disappearing
Me too! Sinister with just a pinch of creepy/psychotic LOL
Always loved that
That 'Jesus' is the most Jack Nicholson delivery.
Of course, when the batman picks him up.
I like the subtle detail that Jack Napier was already wearing the purple suit under the overcoat.
The music, the retro look. Everything is awesome. They created the best version of Gotham City.
The art and production design are probably the strongest aspect of the film. I would include the costumes in that too.
Tim Burton/Danny Elfman is my favorite power couple
Anton Furst. He made this greatness. No art direction ever came close.
I make LEGO stop-motion animation and this movie is the main inspiration for Gotham's design in them
The Batman 2022's Gotham is incredible
Keaton was the most batman than any other batman. Loved watching this in the late 80's, my all time favourite Batman #1
5:16 The look in Tim Burton Batman’s eyes tells you that he doesn’t really care if Jack Napier falls and dies. Christopher Nolan’s Batman would’ve been like, “hold on, I want to save your life and prove that I’m better than you!”
I feel like he hesitated because he vaguely recognized Jack but didn't fully realize at the time that he was the one who killed his parents.
The more i see it, the more i think Batman recognizes Napier and decides to drop him
The actor who played Eckhardt also played porkins in "Star Wars episodes IV: A New Hope"
Τhis movie should be in black and white. Its SO NOIR!
That's a great observation!
This would be dope in black and white😯😯
All it lacked was the ice cold female. Insteas we got more of the traditional damsel in distress.
Sooo we gonna treat this movie like 1930s
L W yeah it is jacks gf
I love how Batman is smiling at 4:25 and he still looks badass.
Keaton’s had that presence about him, perfect
@@q.h.s5051 Sometimes I can't believe it's Keaton. Without the suit he looks like a history teacher.
@@80s_Boombox_Collectorthat's what makes him the best. You don't see Batman in Keaton easily.
Batman is like "yeah I'm dressed as a bat what are you going to do about it"
@@80s_Boombox_Collectorthat is so great about Keaton, you don't expect he is Batman.
5:30 Joker: You made me, remember? You dropped me into that vat of chemicals.
Batman: I made you, you made me first!
Michael Keaton's Batman Entrance is EPIC. Especially with Danny Elfman's score. Can't beat it.
Agree :)
Batman had just started establishing himself as a supernatural being in the criminals' eyes (like flying, getting shot and continuing to fight, ...)
3:20 by far my favourite ever shot of batman from any film, he's like a ghost
Jack Nicholson is an outstanding actor.. He puts his whole heart and soul in his movies. and that is why he is a super star.
And he deserved the money he got from Batman.
@@miltontavares9506 And he's still getting paid for his Joker. Greatest deal ever brokered in Hollywood! Sorry, Robin Williams...
4:49 - “Eckhardt! Think about the future!”
Then, he kills him with his gun.
0:35 "We've been ratted out boys - we've just spent 10 minutes cutting open a safe with zero locking mechanism"
Grissom set them up so they get caught by the cops.
Saw this in theaters when I was 12 and made me the Batman fan I am today...
I had this on tape when I was a boy even though its a 15, not sure how I got away with that. The music and that mobile were my childhood. I didnt know why but I just felt the film was so dark and scary and moody. I'd never known a hero like Batman before, probably because he's more like an antihero in this.
This is before the bat signal. After that the public loved him.
I can relate, since seeing this as a boy, I've been and always will be a batman fan!!
I was the same age. This movie launched the 90's for me, the start of my teenage years....
@@lw3646 I was the exact same!
The score for burtons Batman is truely unmatched
@Landon Martin lets not call it Burton's Batman scoe you illiterate movie people it's Danny Elfman's score lol
also Prince did the soundtrack, fkn legendary
@Landon Martin Zimmer's score is overblown and omnipresent. It actively gets in the way for the last two movies.
It's the best
@Landon Martin Ummm, no. It's borderline generic.
Best Batman film of all time.
This Scene Never Fails To Give Me Chills in My Spine!
Nicholson is perfect as the Joker!
That is the word, perfect!!!!!!!
This is the first live action scene where Batman disappears in an instant.
2:11 love this scene so smooth
That is exactly how Batman is supposed to look
My dad took me to see this when I was 5, still my favorite Batman movie!!
Nicholson is one laid back gangster, plays the role so well
He played this role so sensational.
Not sure if a lot of people realize that at 5:07 Batman deflected the bullet (faster then a speeding bullet or magnetized armored gloves?) and shards of glass ricocheted onto Jack Napier cheeks causing his Joker grin.
This happens over about 10 frames, makes absolutely no sense, and is. It's just beyond lazy, beyond logic.. these guys got away with one.
Batman was already raising his arm before Jack fired, seeing that he was aiming for the head. Fragments of the bullet ricocheted off Batman's gauntlet into the sight glasses, which broke and sent shards of glass flying into Jack's face. It makes perfect sense.
@@aramfingal5180 Oh make no mistake, I do understand what they are trying to portray/show. I can suspend disbelief for a long time, but a bullet ricocheting off Batman, into glass, and that glass causing damage to the degree that we see. I can't on that. But that is just my personal view, and I respect yours which disagrees with me.
@@Getawhale The glass cuts his face, but does not create the Joker smile. The doctor who tried to fix his face did a botched job, resulting in the smile.
@@Getawhale Actually I think the Jack was scalded by the steam escaping from the machine. Though the glass shards may have done some damage, the scalding steam did a majority of the damage to Jack's face and severed the nerves.
If it weren’t for the Tim Burton Batman films, there’d be no Batman The Animated Series, and no DCAU, and basically a less entertaining and awesome childhood.
Batman 89 was a game changer. It changed Batman forever and opened the doors to greater things for the character like the animated series.
@@WinningProduction420 100%
@@danyt1232 no truer words have been spoken!!
Agreed but those BTAS people have become a bit, excuse the pun, two-faced over the years. In the beginning, they praised the movie for the magnitude it commanded. Nowadays most of them seem to be recanting that praise and criticizing the film for various lame reasons.
@@RoosterMontgomery I think it’s not just the BTAS people, in general, Batman ‘89 isn’t seen as favourably as it originally was. I’m in a similar boat, but still appreciate what it did for the character.
I love how Batman just stands idly by while Joker murders Ekhardt.
He was too busy “thinking about the future”
I love how Ekhardt just stands idly by while Joker murders Ekhardt
@@aramfingal5180 And how Joker conviently falls over a railing (which is there to prevent falling) because he is blinded. Lol.
@@aramfingal5180 and how Aaron Eckhardt was the name of the actor to portray two face in TDK
@@snabavi83 loved this ha
Classic Batman and the truest version to comic book. Noire-style.
The music , Danny Elfman....epic feels
This will always be my favorite along with Batman returns, MIcheller Pfiffer as Catwoman has NOT been done better IMO.
The way he glides into the scene..........so iconic and smooth. chills. This bat-suit was just right before they started making everything look over the top military recon gear in the later films.
Keaton has a vintage presence that just became Batman for me. His mouth and jaw fit that cowl and mask so well. His bat glare spoke loudly... his use of say nothing filled the scene.
The vintage 30-40s look of this set and the way they all dressed was perfect man., A dark Gotham of 80 years ago.
Tim Burton created a classic masterpiece.
👏👏👏
Absolutely agreed. This and Returns are timeless masterpieces, and the two very best adaptations of the dark knight on the big screen, without a doubt.
Gotta love Bob.
He coulda made his escape but he kept within range of Gordon until Jack could manage to escape, in the event he needed to hold him hostage.
Bob was Jack’s number one guy :)
tim burton version of gotham is so much more of the comics that everything else. it is like a living souleating creature in the night
The soundtrack is iconic
I like how Egghart just wanders into the frame 'Yeah I betrayed you, but's it's fine. I'll just stand around a be a target.'
Eckhardt
@@angeliquedewill581 I like Egghart better. He's kinda shaped like one.
@@watamutha
We still talk about same character, or we began talking about Humpty Dumpty ?
His name is Eckhardt like the spelling of actor Aaron Eckhardt who played Harvey Dent/Two Face in The Dark Knight.
I always assumed he drank while on the job, the sloven appearance and attitude, glazed eyes, being ridiculously corrupt, dealing with Napier...I'd drink too if I had to deal with an unhinged smiling sociopath.
"...you made me!...you dropped me into that vat of chemicals!...that wasn't easy to get over...don't think I didn't try."
Casting Nicholson was a brilliant decision. My favorite Joker.
Batman: “I know you did!”
Sorry. Had to. 😂😂😂

2:16. I’ve done this same thing in the Arkham games at least a thousand times
Let me down...
1:15 I always liked Gordon walking in like a boss with his men behind him.
All Axis Chemicals interior sequences from this movie were filmed in the same complex as the fusion reactor from 1986’s “Aliens”! Batman even ends up in areas Ripley traversed while searching for Newt in the finale of the 1986 sci-fi/action blockbuster.
Not since Burton has anyone filmed Batman the way he did.
There really is no need for intricate detail or busy design on the suit. But you have to understand how crucial lighting and shadows are to really visually capture the character.
The rendering here is "iconic" in the original sense of the word. There's no frills. It's absolutely "pure". And therefore timeless.
Still a classic to this day.
Hasn't aged a bit.
One of the best superhero movies of all time.
3:55-4:05, gave me absolute chills Batman comes swooping in to save Gordon, along with that score, brilliant!! 💪🏾
Burton knew how to make Batman look cool :)
Keaton was masterful in his duel acting as Bruce Wayne and Batman; as the Caped Crusader in particular, Keaton had to convey everything through his eyes, half his exposed-face and body movements (alone). The last few seconds before he decided to drop Napier into the chemicals below was/is one such example of all that
Being born in 81 was a blessing for many reasons and me getting to see this gem in 89 was astonishing as a kid. Never will get tired of feeling the Nostalgia
I was born in 91 and i feel you!!
I was born in 1986 and my older brother was born 1980 so we enjoyed Batman growing up among many other 80s and 90s movies like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Rocky series, First Blood, Terminator 1 and 2, Lethal Weapon etc
I was born in 81 and this movie is the reason I love movies. A timeless masterpiece
November 16th, 1981 was the day I was born. I didn't realize how fortunate I was to be one of the first kids on my block to own the VHS of BATMAN. Apparently, it was the first time that a film company anticipated high demands for a home video release. The VHS was said to be available less than a year after the film's release. Up to then, consumers had to wait over a year for new releases. Time and technology were something in the 80's!
To this day I still love watching the movie.
What I love about Keaton’s Batman is that he liked to play with villains like they were his play toy. Bale’s Batman didn’t really do that.
I don't watch this film as many times as others and every time I watch it, it just gets better and better.
William Hootkins who played Eckhart was a wonderful actor. I was very fortunate to meet him a couple of times. He also played Lex Luthor for BBC Radio's Adventures of Superman series: if you didn't know you'd think it was Orson Welles!
Man, this is 100% my favorite Batman movie. Keaton. Nicholson. Prince. Yeah.
Mine too what are some of your favorite parts
Don’t forget Tim Burton!
Descent into drakness... When he drive Vicky to his batcave. For me one of the best scenes in film history!!
"nice outfit" even while running from the cops he finds time to throw shade
I mean what else do you say to a giant bat that just lifted you up? Lol
@@johnbuck8399 true lol
@@marquesjohnson6359 love the creepy grin Batman answers with then disappears
At 3:54 Jacks face was a foreshadow on what was to become of him. Burton also did this in Batman returns. Right before Selina Kyle was pushed from the window. Her eye glasses casted a shadow which resembled the cat woman mask
02:25 I wonder if the police just left without this guy LOL
Let me down!!!
This movie is amazing. There are others who could articulate it better, I'm sure but my go at it is...it just looks and feels like a Batman comic. Also, it doesnt take itself quite too serious. Just a fantastic movie. Fully entertaining from front to back. I bet seeing this at time of release was crazy. Way before super hero movies were a thing. This knocked it out of the park
THE SOUNDTRACK IS SO ICONIC
Fun fact 5:23 is when Batman subconsciously recognises Jack as his parents killer and shakes him off dropping him intentionally. This was only confirmed recently
Where exactly was this ‘confirmed’?
I don't think that is true. The movie makes it clear that he realizes it when Jack says "Have you ever dance with the devil, in the pale moonlight?"
Looks more like he tried to reach for him
@@RiGuy050 Hence, why OP said *subconsciously.* Bruce may have not consciously realized it until later in the movie.
No this makes sense.
Later he realized the Joker was the same guy.
Keaton’s Batman is the only live action one insane enough to believably wear a batsuit
Didn't actors after him wear batsuits?
@@NeonRuffian1111 I mean in universe
Pattinson and Affleck look like absolute nutcases in their roles too. They're believable.
@jon pork No, Pattinson's world is not full of such individuals. He is one of a kind, according to the movie.
I've watched this movie dozens of times on a VHS tape. I would never skip the intro to listen to the amazing music.
“We’ve been ratted out here boys.”
Jack nicholson, the best🤩

Keaton is really the best Batman visually. No disrespect to Adam West or Bale.
West is too campy

And to think, no one could believe that Beetlejuice could play the Batman before it was released.
@@douglashenry6996 That's why when people were skeptical about Ben Affleck, I reminded people about how Michael Keaton proved everyone wrong. Just give the new comer a chance. Can't be worse than Clooney or Bale. lol
I just realized that the score from this film is THE score that I used to hum when playing with my toys as a kid. I always thought I just came up with it.
Jack Nicholson being Joker, was the greatest phenomenon ever.
@Marcelo Medeiros I’m ngl Heath ledger smashed it!
@Marcelo Medeiros Jack Nicholson is just himself when he’s the joker just slightly more over exaggerated. Phoenix and Ledger are my favorite versions of live action joker.
@Marcelo Medeiros Ya lo dijistes para ti es solo tu opinión y no es un echo
@@lazlo686 Phoenix was ok, Ledger massively overrated. Jack was the best and nailed it.
3:46 The only police work we’ll see Commissioner Gordon do in the movie.
please take a moment to admire the fact that even though this movie was made/set in the late 80s, it backdrops the original 40s era in which it was created. thank you, Tim Burton.
Everything up to 0:17
Keyboard warriors when my personal group chats get leaked
4:06 I like how everyone in the factory has a 6 shooter except for Bob with the modern 9mm type piece.
I love the 6 shooters because they last longer than semi autos.
The 1911 he's holding is a design that was older than most of those six shooters.
@@a.hollins8691 It appears most of them are using Colt new service revolvers which came out in 1898 .
The thing about Keaton Batman. He seemed to enjoy it. Look at that smirk when he picks up Joker. Keaton Batman got a thrill out of being the big baddie in the room. The other Batemans do it out of anger or pure utility. Keaton was having some fun.
This Joker rising scene is awesome🦇🃏👍👍👍
An early memory of my childhood is this scene right here. Batman entering the scene at 2:12 is one moment I'll never forget and at 3:56... man such nostalgia... Cheers to Michael Keaton's return as Batman!!
Batman establishing himself as a supernatural being in the criminals' minds.
(Getting shot and not bleeding, for example :))
It looks pretty dumb and slow..
Don't tell me it's great for their time, they could've speed up the thing
Perfect movie. Story, acting. Costumes, scenery. All time fave movie.
What makes this great is the atmosphere; it fits in with the 40s very early 50s gangster films like white heat and German expressionist cinema with the studio filmed environment and old school musical score, but also significantly because it feels very, very Batman.
Overall not too cartoony (note however some scenes have dated poorly e.g Prince and 80s martial arts bad guy), not too dark and bizarre (batman returns) but very much a translated comic from the era.
Living in a time when films have too much action and spectacle sacrificing all else, notice on rewatching this film has a lot of scenes with just story development and acting not just setpieces like the Marvel films- and thats where this and TDK trilogy worked wonders.
However the TDK trilogy began to stray too far from the source material in Rises which I believe is why there is still an even greater Batman Cycle to be told.
Tim Burton wasn't the best action director so I think he tried to focus more on character. I agree with the costume and set design, it doesn't belong to a sine period in time. Gotham the TV show tried to do that too.
I have hope Matt reeves Batman with Robert Pattinson will find the perfect balance
Terrible acting though
Great comment
YOU DROPPED ME INTO THAT VAT OF CHEMICALS! THAT WAS A LITTLE HARD TO GET OVER! And don't think that I didn't try!
I know you did
16 years later we get Batman Begins. 17 years after that we get The Batman. Crazy how the time flies.
3 years later Return Batman
"He's at home, washing his tights"
🤣
That’s a classic line!
Hate this release's color grading , but the movie itself is great and has been all those years. I love how they make a use of the cape and stealth, i enjoy batman being a mysterious freak, i love the music, the atmosphere, weirdness of the world, Gotham's look and design.
