Another interesting fact: Jack Nicholson didnt accept the role of the Joker at first, so Warner Bros offered the role to Robin Williams, who was actually very keen. But it turned out to be a ploy to snare Nicholson back because they made sure the news got back to Jack`s agent, to which he informed him if he wants the role, he better take it now, so for a huge sum of dollars he did. 5 years later, when they were casting for Batman Forever, Warner was very keen on Robin Williams to play the Riddler, when they offered him the role, he told them to stick it and demanded a written apology for using him as bait for the previous film. He eventually did get the apology and the next warner bros film he starred in years later was Insomnia, directed by Christopher Nolan, who coincidentally went on to direct the next Batman trilogy

Tim Burton is a genius, Beetlejuice was classic and Michael Keaton's Batman was classic.

My favourite shot of the movie: When the Batwing rises above the clouds and stops in front of the full moon.

[lowboyone]

"Michael Keaton is batman" FUCK YES he is!!!! Such a great film

[markkeith]

When Batman came out in 1989, it was huge.

[charleskuckel]

I talked my parents into seeing BATMAN with me, even though they HATE this type of movie, by reminding them that Jack Nicholson, one of their favorite actors, had TOP billing. They were glad that they went!

[PietroBranca]

you forgot to mention the Batman score, which was EPIC in 1989, and still kinda is.

[missgrimreaper]

This will always be my favorite Batman movie.

[professorwho]

Loved the 1989 film. Was my favorite as a kid. Also, gave birth to Batman TAS, so... WIN!

Something to add: Michael Keaton has said he has never felt more disconnected to a character than the character he played in bird man. So I don't think he feels any regret about making his batman movies as this guy implies.

Friday June 23, 1989 I had plans to see Batman but my son decided he would be born that night instead.

I remember when Batman came out it was like nothing I had ever seen. Everyone was rocking Batman t-shirts and the Saturday after the movie's opening night there was a line of people filling up the theater's lobby and going outside into the parking lot and up the street. It was insane! The movie did not disappoint, either. One of the very few films that fully lived up to the hype. I've watched Tim Burton's Batman more times than I can count and I'm still not tired of it. I love Nolan's take on the caped crusader but this movie will always be my personal favorite. And I don't care what anyone says, Nicholson's Joker is better than Ledger's. Yup. I said it. Get at me, dawg. ;p

Batman 89 has the iconic Batmobile in it.

Quote of the year "Except Batman and Robin because f--- that"

When Batman told the car to stop that was the coolest thing ever when I was a kid

The funk breakdown in the middle alone is worth it

"English cocaine"

I believe that's called Michael Caine.

Prince is the party King and his music for the film is phenomenal, including Bat Dance!

[MrFang]

I still think this Batman is the best! My favorite costume of all time!

[vekavex]

I love love Tim Burton's Batman.I know people talk about Heath Ledger as best Joker but for me it Jack Nicholson was best.Jack is my all time favorite The Joker!
