Thank You For Watching!! Leave me your thoughts on Batman 1989 & look Forward to more BATMAN reviews!!

Jack Nicholson: "Jack? Jack is dead, my friend. You may call me... Joker! And as you can see, I'm lot a happier"

This Batman is definitely the most iconic, His outfit, theme, batmobile,

Keaton: "I want you to do me in a favor. I want you to tell all your friends about me" Thug: "What are you?" Keaton: "I'm Batman"

Michael Keaton will always be my favorite Batman

Thank you for giving Bill Finger credit. Bob Kane was not the sole creator of Batman for those who wonder.

To quote Jack Nicholson. "You need the dark comedy, Some of him needs to be outrageous or preposterous because if that isn't there and you try to humanize a character like that, it'll fuck you up mentally. It was probably my worst audition as I'm not acting for some of it I'm just having a good time because I love the character so much. My goal was to freak people out. I think they liked it, I'm still making money off it!"

When it comes to Batman killing in the Burton films, from what I understand the reason is because Batman killed in the golden age comics, which is what Burton was basing his Batman on when he made these movies. It's also the reason why the movies have a oldschool setting.

Fun fact: when it comes to Batman's introduction in this film, originally Batman was supposed to say "I am the night". But while filming Michael Keaton changed it to "I'm Batman" and they kept it.

I actually like how diverse Batman fans they could find to interview, and how each one had a different specific detail on how Batman should be.

I remember begging my Dad to take me to see this when it came out. I still love this film! Yes, some of it is dated, but us who were their when this came out remember the phenomenon that Batman 89' was!

It's weird because I was born in the Christopher Nolan era, but I really like Keaton's Batman the most (so far). I just think the world and characters are very focused and compelling. Great vid by the way

Jack Nicholson was hilarious yet terrifying. He’s still the closest to the comics especially for the time. He always wanted to come back too but they never took the opportunity.

You know Chris likes a franchise when he does these types of videos for the upcoming installment

This movie has a special place in my heart. Keaton and Nicholson will always be my favorite Batman and Joker. Is this the best interpretation of Batman? Well no, that comes later in the Nolan films, and no it is also not The Dark Knight as many will say. My favorite Batman movie will be the 89 film but I believe the best one is actually Batman Begins.

Nicholson: "You ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

“You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight.” Sometimes I say that on Call of Duty when I’m about to kill someone 😂😂

Actually, I ALWAYS saw this as the joker's movie. From first watch. I always felt he had FAAAAAR more screen time than batman. And we're talking about Tim Burton here. Ofcourse Joker would be his fascination.

I used to watch this movie on repeat at my grandmas house, I remember laying in a cot she had for me next to her bed and I would always lay there and watch it, this movie has a very special place in my heart

Batman will be one of the best movies this year, I can’t wait to hear your review

Michael Keaton is wonderful as Batman back then and I love the music of Danny Elfman bringing to this movie so this 1989 movie of Batman is still really cool!👍😁🦇🤩🖤

The best time of year is when Cris does a franchise review leading up to a new release

Man this movie is just a true classic!!! Really hit the mark when it was released!!

This was my Batman. I was 5 years old when I went to see this movie. Been a fan ever since

89 Batman will always be my favorite. Keaton as well. The ending to 89 Batman with Danny Elfman’s Finale is spectacular.

This was the first live action Batman movie I remember watching when I was little, and since then it's remained one of my favorites alongside Batman Begins and the Dark Knight. Michael Keaton is also still my favorite live action Batman. Always loved how mysterious and subtle he was, and how naturally dark and intimidating he felt without really trying. Excited to see him in the role again in the Flashpoint movie.

That lean back (around 10:42) was hilarious, I never noticed that - only the awkward turns 😂

I saw this movie when I was just 8! And then the love of batman continue I saw every one without hesitation and loved it I think every actor did a fantastic job with the role and I hope to see that continue with Robert Pattinsons role on the batman

“you weigh more than 108” is crazy 💀💀💀

Michael Keaton’s Batman is the definitive of pure revolutionary. A revolutionary newest reboot that introduces a Batman that is much more serious and dark.

In the novelization of the book the money he was throwing during the parade was also laced with the chemicals that the balloons were going to release. He had them either way

1:53 thank you so much for this Whenever I see some old Batman stuff it always bothers me to see only Bob Kane’s names credited as Batman’s creator

My first live action Batman movie, has a very special place in my heart, thnx for the video Chris!!😁🥰😁😁👍

A review of all the Batman movies before Robbie’s The Batman ?! It’s a good time to be a 3C fan 🥳

I’m starting my Batman marathon watch before The Batman comes out. I definitely love Burton’s Batman for what it is. I do, however, see it’s flaws and as an avid reader of mainly Batman books, it’s absolutely nothing like what I’d consider Batman to be, and that’s not a bad thing actually. And that score…my lord that score. That part of the film is just perfect.

"Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?" One of the best quotes ever!!

Hands down my favorite BATMAN film.

YES! Your covering the Batman franchise now let’s go!

I was 9 when this came out, and it was the first movie I ever saw in theaters more than once. This movie, and the Animated Series are primarily the reasons that I am a huge Batman fan today. That being said I feel like your criticisms were spot-on. I feel like Batman was always the supporting character in the films all the way up until Batman Begins. The movies prior to that were always about the villains.

i think burton did it on purpose to cast michael keaton who is short and not so muscular to be batman who would expect someone that looks like that to be batman.

Nicholson's joker is one of my favourites and the soundtrack is brilliant

Crazy how you managed to break down a film from the late 80’s/early 90’s and you nailed it Chris, keep up the good work buddy love your content

Love the reviews and love Batman, can’t wait for this series

I was born in 83. As kids, when we talked about our favorite super-heros, it was Batman with Keaton or Superman with Reeves. Imagine a world where the multi-verse included a white haired, white suited, Reeves. Keaton and Reeves on the screen together either then or now would have been epic. RIP Reeves, still the best, and Superman is better.

It’s my birthday today (24) and I’m so happy to start it out with a new review of a Batman movie! 🎉🍿

You're a true top tier youtuber loved all your videos and can't believe the amount of passion you put into all of them you are a true inspiration keep it up

I love that he keeps doing these, the Halloween ones were Sooooo good, and the Spiderman ones were awesome, I can't wait for the Batman and Robin review

Yeah this was my first introduction into Batman as well. Superfriends had been off the air for years, there was no Batman Animated Series, etc. Although my favorite Batman on film is Bale, Keaton's Batman will always hold a special place in my heart. Also I liked how you included actual footage of people not liking Keaton being picked as Batman. I always heard about it but I was too young at the time to even know the initial backlash with Keaton's selection was negative. It just goes to show that WB knows what the hell they're doing when casting Batman in these movies, excluding George Clooney.

Looking forward to the rest of the reviews! Love your vids!!

Just reviewed this movie yesterday! 4/5 stars.

I've been wanting him to do these videos for ages

Watching Batman 89 ending right now watching your review. Love the movie and it was essentially the first major Batman movie. It still holds up to this day.

I really haven’t seen any of the older Batman films but your review has inspired me to start watching all of them, especially since this is going to be a huge year for Batman

Yes! You’re doing the reviews! I was really about to comment on all your vids to do these! Thank you 🙏

I still have a huge admiration for this film, and I can’t wait to see Michael Keaton return in The Flash movie.

Omg I had dying of laughter at 10:44 the way he just breaks his back 😭🤣😂

I always thought the scene of Batman sleeping upsidedown was a dream Vicki was having. There's a ticking in the background that you don't hear when she wakes up and it sets up how she doesn't know if the night at the museum really happened.

If I'm being honest I prefer batman returns but this movie will always have a special place in my heart

Your in the news Chris from when you went to the store in your Batman outfit.Congrats bro you made alot of people smile that day😁🤘

Batman 1989 will always be my favorite Batman movie. Jack Nicholson crushed it as the Joker. “As My Plastic Surgeon Always Said - 'If You Gotta' Go, Go With A Smile!” is my favorite line that Joker says! Love the review Chris and I like the toys in the background. As Joker says, “where does he get those wonderful toy?”

The pearls gag!!! You are too clever!

I'm glad u brought that up. I think it's very interesting how the casting for Batman has always been very controversial until we see a trailer or the actual movie and then our critiques on the casting changes. Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck, Rob Pattinson, even Christian Bale I believe had criticism for his casting.

I really enjoy you doing these franchise summary review videos they are amazing never stop making these you should make a name for them cuz they are awesome and unique. Also one thing I’d like is action scenes have a behind the scene descriptions stuff like that would be a good add to make them super awesome but they are already amazing and very entertaining!!!

Sean Young, Daryl Hannah, Kelly McGillis, Julia Roberts, Linda Hamilton, Bridget Fonda, Joan Cusack, and Sigourney Weaver were considered for Vicki Vale.

Batman 89 is a fun time its aged quick a bit, but Jack Nicholson's performance is gold.

I remember when my mom gave me a vhs tape of Batman 1989 and I was surprised of how Batman looked and I gotta say that he is awesome, while Joker from Michael Keaton's Batman is cool, But to me, Heath Ledger's Joker is the best version of Joker we know in my opinion, Still I agree with you Chris. Also Michael Keaton was my first time of watching Batman.

I used to watch Batman 89 all the time when I was a kid, and a few weeks ago I rewatched it for the first time in years. And I loved it. Especially Nicholson. I think Heath Ledger is definitely the best, but Jack Nicholson has become very underrated in recent years. He was absolutely phenomenal as the Joker. He is also by FAR the most accurate portrayal of the character ever put to film. He had so many iconic lines and he was genuinely funny and terrifying at the same time. Phenomenal performance

Yay i was so excited to see this notification pop up i can't wait to watch all these reviews

I LOVE WHEN HE STARTS THIS SERIES!!

Michael Keaton's BATMAN is my favorite batman and I hope Tim Burton comes back to make a BATMAN BEYOND series

Hands down the best live action Batman movie ever made. Michael Keaton is only topped by Kevin Conroy, Jack Nicholson is only topped by Mark Hamill, and the best Gotham City ever made. It's very interesting that Bruce Wayne isn't that well known by the public, instead being a recluse. I'm also genuinely shocked that Bob, Eckhardt, and especially Alexander Knox (who is the best character in the movie) haven't been brought back in the comics or cartoons...

You know the one real thing that gets me about this movie…How in the hell does Knox not know who Bruce Wayne is?! I mean, I can understand Vicki not knowing because she’s new in town but Alex is a friggin reporter in Gotham! Sure Vicki runs into him during the party and actually asks him “do you know which one of these guys is Bruce Wayne?” and Bruce shoots her a no idea. Heck, I would too if some random hot woman would be asking for me too! Lol. But again, Alex saying “who are you?” when they run into him while looking for Commissioner Gordon is kinda odd for me. Sure he may be a bit of a recluse int the first two movies but c’mon everyone in Gotham has seen at least a picture if the man once. Again, Alex works for the newspaper! How do they not have at least one image of him from some kind if something somewhere?! Best way to put it…Batman! Batman! Can somebody tell me what kind of a world we live in where a man dressed up as a BAT, gets more press than Gotham’s golden boy?! Lol. Looking forward to next Friday thats for sure! And I cant wait for the “Returns” upload as well.

Maybe the resolution is all a part of his growing character. This is probably him still trying to understand who he is and what is actually right or wrong. He still doesn't understand the problems with being Batman such as how his actions may have consequences (including killing the Joker). He still didn't learn in Batman Returns, but he might after witnessing both the Penguin's sad(ish) death along with never seeing Selina Kyle again (until they meet up in the '89 comic). After this, he probably is trying to learn more about his consequences and tries to mend his wrong doings.

This is something I was hoping you would do so I'm happy you are doing this Chris thank you

Awesome job! That was a very on point breakdown of the things which make this film groundbreaking, yet flawed in some very important areas. The whole critique of the lack of a character arc for Bruce/Batman was totally accurate IMO, & you managed to highlight exactly why so many hardcore Batman fans had serious issues w/certain aspects of this story. Many fans came out of this film feeling cheated in a way, because making Joker the killer of Bruce's parents came off as sort of lazy writing to an extent. It provides an avenue for a rather simplistic revenge story to play out, all the while casually defying many of the rules previously established for the character over many decades of mythology.

Excited for the rest of ur series!

Very excited for your review of The Batman Robert Pattinson's been my favorite actor for years, great review as always Chris,

By the way it was meant to end with Christopher Reeves Superman and Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman meaning that we’re going to have a real cinematic universe before they were eventually scrapped

I think we'll see Batman fully suited up get more screen time in "The Batman" than Bruce Wayne.

Love batman since i was a kid but you made me love the character more thanks cris 🙏

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!! Yesterday I was wondering if Chris was going to do this video "Saga", AND MY BOY DID IT! THANK YOU, CHRIS

I just commented on your video yesterday and asked was you doing this . Going on a new marathon with these batman videos

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bill Murray, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Pierce Brosnan, Nick Nolte, Kevin Spacey, Tom Selleck, Jeff Bridges, Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Hanks, Matthew Broderick, Sean Penn, Kevin Costner, Michael Douglas, Robert Downey Jr, Harrison Ford, Kiefer Sutherland, Alec Baldwin, Ray Liotta, and Kevin Kline were considered for Batman.

Love the addition of Bill Finger's name on the credits, thanks for doing that.

Awwww Shit Chris is doing the Batman movies! I’m excited now I love your review series. You always bring in a new take and make them enjoyable. I can’t wait 😵‍💫

I find Burtons Batman 1989 to be most influenced by the early 1939-1940 era of Batman, where Batman very much used lethality in dispatching his adversaries. The film is essentially reflective of the Finger/Kane/Robinson days, with a some Sprang influence (especially with the Joker having a permanent smile) all rolled into one cinematic experience.

Can’t even comment without a bot automatically sending ridiculous stuff🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ but can’t wait to see these great reviews from past generations of Batman 🔥 gotta get my tickets soon for march 5 ‼️

Gets me pumped when you review all the movies before a new one come out. So ready for March 4th!!

man The Batman is definitely gonna bring those old good batman movies time's back. This 1 week is gonna feel forever...

Excellent video!! such great childhood memories with Keatons Batman.

Thanks again as always! I love your reviews man, and respect your opinion a lot. For me personally i like Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne, i have nothing with Ben Affleck, but he nailed that part of the role. I always felt Keeton was a bad Wayne

1:45 uff that Theme made a great impact in my mind😌

Jack Nicholson is an underrated joker and personally my favorite. Peopl are always talking about how crazy heath ledger and quoqin phoenix are (btw I don’t know how to spell his name)

I watched this Batman first when I was younger, and when I watched the dark knight when I was like 11 I was disappointed that they didn’t kill the joker like they did in this movie. Now I’m so happy they didn’t kill him because that would’ve contradicted the whole point of the movie

If it wasn't for this movie we would never have greatest DC show of all time Batman the Animated series and this movie is reason why Batman was taken seriously instead of being a joke before this movie came out casual audiences were use to Adam West campy Batman. This was DC first movie that set the tone that superhero movies can be taken seriously (no disrespect to Christopher Reeve Superman) and audiences are interested in seeing dark tone superhero movie pretty much this like how Blade paved the way for modern day superhero movies. I still wish we could have seen Keaton Batman vs. Christopher Reeve Superman World's Finest we almost got it twice technically Batman & Robin confirmed they both exist in same universe (until this was retconed Batman Forever and Batman & Robin are not canon to Batman 89 and Returns) and the second time CW Crisis On Infinite Earths could have had Routh Kingdom Superman (his version is same one as Reeve) confirm Keaton Batman same universe as his but Joker is alive in his universe even other variant Keaton Batman Earth 89 joker still alive.

My top 6 Batman 1989 The dark knight Batman mask of the phantasm The dark knight rises Batman begins Batman returns

Can wait for these reviews

"One cigarette away from sounding like a Transformer" floored me

Personally my favourite Batman

Bruce DID kind of learn from this, over the course of the movies. He planted a bomb ON a henchman and murdered him in Returns, but by the end of Returns, he tried talking to Selena about NOT killing Max. In forever, he killed fewer people and tried to convince Robin not to murder anyone, even referencing the Joker as someone who murdered his parents and how killing him didn't make a difference. By Batman and Robin, he killed no one at all. Pretty sure Bane might have been the only one to die in that movie, and that was mostly by accident (though I still never seen any official sources where the telescope actually crushed him, so sounds more like speculation if anything). EDIT: Okay well Floronic Man died too, but was murdered by Poison Ivy. None of the heroes.
