Joker: "And... here... we... go!"

[roc]

Batman 1989 is a miracle film. To have a young, un incoming director in Tim Burton given the chance to have his own personal take on this world. To having Micheal Keaton cast and having fans petition his removal from the role. So many things up in the air for this film NOT working. But when you have a hungry director with a vision, an actor who is now seen as giving the definitive take on the character to Danny Elfman’s timeless score….that movie was THE crescendo of the 1980’s in stunning fashion.

The Dark Knight Trilogy is definitely my favorite live action Batman movies. They represent who Batman really is in a more realistic world. The Dark Knight is also my favorite movie of all time.

4:36 that's Danny Elfman, not Tim Burton

In another world Ben Affleck would have been in The Batman and he would have went against Colin Farrell's penguin and it would be the Daredevil reunion we never aaked for.

[JimmyJams]

Batman Returns is my all time favourite Batman movie due to it being on repeats on tv so much when I was kid. Michael Keaton is the GOAT for live action Batman's.

My favorite quotes from earth Ledger come from the hospital scene and the burning money scene, I use them all the time:
“Do I really look like a guy with a plan?”
“I just do… things”
“I just did what I do best, I took your little plans and I turned them on themselves”
“This city deserves a better class of criminal, and I’m gonna give it to them”
“It’s not about the money…it’s about sending a message”

The dark Knight rises was one of my favorite Batman movies ever! Perfect ending and he has a great redemption. Plus the battle for Gotham at the end was so cool!

[RaiderGraf]

I think the theme from The Batman and Robin Adventures, which was also the theme for Mask of The Phantasm, is the best Batman theme ever over 89

I’m old school before old school, meaning I am more invested in Batman with the psychology built upon the foundation of his drive to make himself as-much-as-possible physically equal to the big task, in that he “Trains his body to PHYSICAL PERFECTION.” (Batman #1) Of course that’s rooted in my own experience as a gym rat, knowing firsthand how much drive that demand and the psychological underpinnings. Hence, I can’t reconcile with Keaton as Batman. With Bale, Affleck, and Pattinson - I get the full feel of the combined physical and psychological. So depending on my mood, each of them take turns as my favorite.

As an early 2000s kid, I LOVED Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. Literally watched them all the time but as I got older I realized they're terrible films like Arris said lmao

[VicMartino]

Great job done here on this Batman video by the on screen narrator. I really enjoyed watching this Batman video.

[omegamaximus]

My favorite live-adaptation of Batman is The Dark Knight trilogy, because that is what I grew up with and enjoyed.

[Muthomi.T.I.M]

The Batman 2022 is what captured everything that was missing in the others.

[billymoore]

Batman 89 and Batman Returns are one of the best classic movies. I own both of them along with Batman Forever and Batman and Robin.

[davonhall]

The Batman movies(live action) that I love, I own. Batman(89), Batman Returns, The Dark Knight Trilogy and The Batman.

[jonbeckstein]

I hope for an animated/gaming rundown of Batman. All Kevin Conroy.

[quentinfogger]

Can you do history of Alfred Pennyworth, Batwing, Flame Bird, Batwoman, Azrael, Signal(Duke Thomas), Bluebird, Stephanie Brown and Carrie Kelly?

[GuardianKyle]

Val Kilmer is a seriously underrated Batman. I won't lie, Batman Forever is up there in my top 5 favorite Batman films. Number 1 will always Mask of the Phantasm.

[joshuagorski]

Anyone else introduced to Elfman’s score through the 1st Lego game?
