If DC had any sense they'd put out a Legends Of The Dark Knight omnibus.

Couldn't agree more. Batman '89 was a revelation at the time. It began the modern superhero blockbuster era and has influenced almost every superhero film in some way over the past 30 years. You're exactly right; the Batman brand was EVERYWHERE and on EVERYTHING, lol. Also, I had zero interest in the character until the movie came out; but afterward, I began to haunt my local Walden Books to read or buy everything related to the Dark Knight. Burton's movie sparked my love of the Batman character and got me into collecting comic books in the 90's. Year One, The Killing Joke, Year Two, Dark Knight Returns, Shaman, Blind Justice, Knightfall - I would have missed out on all of them if not for Batman '89 and Danny Elfman's amazing soundtrack. What a movie.

Just wanted to say that I’ve been watching for a little over a year and wanted to just bring up that the video quality with the clips and panels are all so professional and this channel is way under rated. (Keep up the great work)

I was born a year before Batmania. Today I am a Batfan Forever.

1989 truly was the most crucial year to Batman. In fact, my favorite Batman story of all time is from that year: Arkham Asylum. Yes, I know you don't like that book, but I respect that, for Grant Morrison is a polarising writer.

I remember 89 so well,batmania was rampant and I loved it

Sometimes I find myself wanting to collect ALL Batman issues since 1939. A dream.

Thanks for the great flashback, SK.

Another great video dude

Great video! You do such a great job of covering so much material and why they’re relevant. Can’t wait to see you cover the modern age!

This is kinda like how the mcu movies have had a major influence in modern marvel comics

Another fantastic video Sal. You are truly the most knowledgeable Batman KZfaqr. Always eagerly await your videos

I was ten years old in ‘89, and it’s true BATMAN was everywhere. The Burton film, reruns of the 60s show on the damn Family Channel (which I always made sure to tune in for), tee shirts, accessories, I mean yeah it was everywhere and it was just exciting. And it was around that time that I started to get more into the comics. My older brother had the entire KNIGHTFALL series which I mostly read/very healthily skimmed. Eventually bought comics of my own (Batman/Dracula Red Rain was one, Batman v Predator….). The impact of the 89 film and the ensuing Batmania cannot, CANNOT be understated. Enjoyed the video, man. And subscribed. 👍🏻👍🏻🦇🦇

Love your videos so much Sal

Great video

I've always considered the most underappreciated Clayface story to be the Ethan Bennett arc from The #Batman, as that series basically made Ethan its version of Harvey Dent, Bruce's close friend who takes a tragic fall toward villainy. The Batman '89 tie-in comic's likeness of Jack Palance is stellar. Well, Gotham by Gaslight does have a parallel to Batman '89 in that Batman fights a character named Jack in both of them.

Hace algunos días te dejé un mini dibujo como regalo en Twitter, pero como no le hago mucho, no sabía que mis tweets estaban protegidos. No sé si ya se vean, pero espero que estas semanas tu canal crezca bastante. La consistencia con la que subes y todas las ganas que le has estado metiendo me convencieron en estos meses de lo mucho que mereces crecer. Te deseo todo lo mejor Salazar, eres un crack

Fantastic look at some classics from 89. I will say I actually really love Arkham asylum but I love to hear your perspective! Fantastic job!

What a busy year. I love how you tried to hold back bringing up the Burton movie 😅. But yeah nice to brief summary and yea 1989 was one hell of a year

Thanks for your channel, grea, great videos! I love norm breyfogle too, and loved to know how succcessful Anarky and the Etrigan storyline were, cuz I loved them too. Just one observation: It was not because of the movie, but because of the 50 years of Batman!!

Hey, who else is willing to bet that the picture from the Batman movie that credits Bob Kane as the artist seen in this shot 3:29 was yet another ghost artist for Bob Kane?

This movie was mysterious and thought out and it worked i still watch this movie

Probably just a slip of the tongue but Gotham by Gaslight is set in the nineteenth century, not the eighteenth.

33 years ago, I feel real old, it was amazing how the 89 movie Batman was all over the place

The 200th Like for this video!

is there a Long Halloween video? any thoughts on the Imposter? I love Andrea Sorentino's art on Gideon Falls good to see his work on a Batman title

Nice recap. My only problem with the Batman '89 movie was the Joker killling Bruce's parents. I'm so confused by this recap due to the fact that Knightfall happened on 1993 so its like a jump in time to talk about 1989 again.

There are stories in legends of the dark knight that make me question the canonicity of the series, outside of issues that tied into crossover events like Destroyer, Knightfall, and No Man's Land.

It’s all about Batman 1989!

Yo what’s your favorite batsuit to use in Arkham Knight?

Personally speaking, Arkham Asylum is the only Grant Morrison comic I like, yeah I'm sorry to say but I really don't like Grant Morrisons work. Though I do like Gotham By Gaslight more.

Did you hear the announcement of the new long term creative team for batman chip zdarsky and jorge jimenez.

Will you be reviewing The Batman(2022) releasing this Friday?

I wish I could get a tape of this. You can look up my Batman The Secret Engine From Scrap it has an engine America has been talking about the commodore vanderbilt I made from wood, you'll like it.

Hey everyone, not related to this video but the comic series "The Batman Adventures" the comic tie-in to the animated series issue 13 is titled "Last Tango In Parris" now the issue is really good and I recommend it, but there's something about it I don't understand. Why the hell would they name that issue, after the steaming pile of garbage that is "Last Tango In Parris"? In my mind you don't associate Batman with that catastrophe. You see in that movie, there's a scene where the lead female protagonist gets raped which I think it's bad enough to have a scene like that and with the main character doing it no less, but what's worse is the story behind it. The scene was not even in the script, it was the director and Marlon Brando's idea to have that scene in the film, the actress felt terrible. I feel really bad that she had to go through that, this sort of thing really makes me upset, I can't forgive the people who thought that was good to put in the film. Further more, I think Last Tango In Parris should be forgotten and never talked about again. I just can't understand why DC thought it was a good idea to name that story after that train wreck.

It was so big that even the Joker appeared in the Thanksgiving Parade !: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZrB7g7GVyL3XcZ8.html
