Batman (1989)

Batman (1989)

Comments

I liked the Nolan trilogy pretty well and I would say that they are the best objectively, but I have a special place in my heart for this one, and Bathman Forever. There's nothing wrong with enjoying things even if they aren't perfect. Batman Returns I think was too dark for me. But it came out when I was a kid so maybe I wasn't ready for it yet.

Dan Gonya

This one and Batman Returns are the best of all of them in my opinion. DeVito and Michelle Pfeiffer were amazing, and Jack did a phenomenal Joker

Pete Filipovits

Smack...Kaboom! Indeed!

Patrick McGuire

It's crazy looking back and realize Billy Dee is the 1st Live Action Harvey Dent aka Two-Face.

Anthony Turner

Jack Nicholson did a great job of bringing the dichotomy of the Joker to life on the screen. He was funny and sadistic, always wanting something that belonged to someone else. Nicholson was pissed when he wasn't considered for the sequels. He refused to watch them bc he put everything he had into developing the character for the screen.

Stacey Capito

Great story. Thanks for sharing. ๐Ÿ’œ I wonder if some of it had to do with the esthetic of Tim Burton films too.

Stacey Capito

You weren't blocked.

Stacey Capito

Agree ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Stacey Capito

๐Ÿคฃ Yeah... I would be disappointed if that was all that was served. Typically soup is the first or second course in a fancy 4 course meal (appetizer, soup/salad, entrรฉe, and dessert).

Stacey Capito

You would probably like Car Masters on Netflix. ๐Ÿ˜‰

How can you skip the negoctiator with Samuel L jackson or argmageddon to 89 batman ? seriously

kOLa

Batman Returns all the way!! it was the most watched Christmas movie of last year

Timothy

Same thing happened to me when I was 5, my dad took me to Watch the first Mortal Kombat and I fell asleep. Lol miss the 90's.

Mega Man

Y'all watched the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy. The series you are now watching are the first 2, Batman and Batman Returns, then Joel Schumacher did Batman Forever with Val Killer as Batman, and finally there was Batman and Robin with George Clooney. There's also Batman v Superman with Ben Affleck as Batman, then Justice League. Finally there's an even newer Batman with that dude from Twilight.

Dan Gonya

When I was a kid and this movie came out, I became obsessed with 70s Corvettes, especially black ones, because the large fenders always reminded me the Batmobile from this series.

Dan Gonya

Batman is pretty much a Ninja. I don't think they did as good of a job showing that in this one than in the Nolan trilogy.

Dan Gonya

Came here to explain this. Thank you for putting it so eloquently so I didn't have to. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Dan Gonya

You are very welcome. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Dan Gonya

Thank you so much!

Asia and BJ

y'all really lettin this one marinate......

Justin Freeman

L.A. Confidential was great.

Dodger Blue 311

The Dark Knight trilogy is from 2005-2012.

The Batsuit, the colors used in this bat logo (yellow and black), Danny Elfman's musical score, the Batmobile, The Batwing, and Michael Keaton's portrayal of Batman himself is what makes me love this movie so much. It defines cool. I was 10 years old when this movie came out, and it holds a special place in my heart. The Batman movies that came out after this were good in their own ways, but this one is special to me. The Batman, which came out in 2022, is also one of my favorites and is definitely worth a watch.

Dodger Blue 311

This will ALWAYS be the Original movie for Batman its most cleaner than seeing all those blood crap that other batman movies were made.

Annette

As far as Batman's go Michael Keaton is my favorite followed by Bale.

Raider Ron

Great Tim Burton classic from the 80's . Just admit that you're avoiding ROBOCOP on purpose !

Justin Freeman

I love this reaction... Michael Keaton is my favorite batman of all time. Jack killed it as Joker

Andrew Castle

You first watched the Dark Knight Trilogy of 2018. This one was from 1989 and there are 4 total movies in this series: Batman (1989 check-done) Batman Returns (1992 - best one) Batman Forever (1995 - good cast but Michael Keaton drops out as Batman) Batman & Robin (1997 - completely jumps the friggin shark)

LynnC

Classic flick here so hyped to watch this one. Thank you as always you guys are amazing. It was also amazing to see you guys! Repping my hometown Detroit Lions in your latest blog. Go lions baby. Look like you guys had a blast

Rio Mendoza

You have a lovely singing voice, Asia.๐Ÿ˜Š

Dan Gonya

do rich people eat a lot of soup or something? I wouldn't be able to hide my confusion if i go to somebody's house on a first date and they break out a bowl of soup.

CS

So fun to re-watch this classic with you guys!! (and props to BJ for the "POW" "SMACK" and "KABOOM" like the old classic version LOL. I have always loved this version too with Jack Nicholson as the Joker, and love the aesthetic (How they made it look like a 1930s art deco blend with the gotham city design). So fun, glad you did this reaction. Another great one to try with Kim Basinger is L.A. Confidental!

CD

That was a fun watch. Good times with the family. You two are always adorable. So as stated, you MUST watch BATMAN RETURNS! It is even better than the first one. But stop after BATMAN RETURNS. Everything else in this franchise is honestly crap.

Dustin

Today wouldโ€™ve been a good day to start watching the Pacific since youโ€™ve already seen Band of Brothers.๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Carl ๐Ÿ‰

Jack Nicholson as Joker is my favorite. Have not seen this in a long time. Batman Returns must see.

Dan Gershgol

Cool story!

All of those are equally as extremely boring as one another.

bnut

I agree with you. The joker was a bit more comedic than dark I feel. But then, I feel like all of the super hero movies outside of the 80โ€™s are too dark. I never liked the Superman remakes. Christopher Reeve will forever be Superman to me.

Pink Martini AZ

Great reaction. I remember watching this in the theaters when it came out and I loved it. My unpopular opinion is Jack Nicholson's joker is my favorite. While I loved what Heath Ledger did with his portrayl of him, I feel they skimped out on the "humor" portion and focused more on the psychotic side, which is fine. Jack gave me more humor and showed his sadisdic side via his plan with chemicals. I loved that.

Sean G

1000%, you guys definitely have to watch Batman Returns.

I'm Batman

The first season of True Detective is amazeballs.

Dana

So the reason the news anchors were looking so bad was due to the fear of not knowing what could be the joker product. He said on his announcement of the product that people might've already bought them, meaning it's most likely an everyday product like soap, shampoo, mouthwash, deodorant, rather than risking their life to look good, they'd take a hit on their looks/hygiene to make sure they stay alive till it got figured out what product it was.

I'm Batman

Michael Keaton. That man. Just something about him. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’‹

Rowan

Batman returns is WAY worth watching โ€” seeing Michelle Phiffer as the Cat Woman, and Danny DeVito as The Penguin.

Mike Martinez

Awesomeโ€ฆ also please donโ€™t do the wireโ€ฆ itโ€™s 30 years oldโ€ฆ NOTHING changes in the storyline and then it just ends. Only thing that changes are some of the characters die but thatโ€™s it. Iโ€™ll bribe you to not do it. Your YouTube moderator blocked me from commenting on the live stream where I offered you $1,000 to not do it. I have screenshots to prove it. There are so many better series to watch.. you canโ€™t do the wire without doing narcos & narcos Mexico, Fargo series, true detective. Those are FAR superior.

Reed Caviness

It's funny you mention this being for adults, the reason I say this is because of this, when this movie hit theaters I was just a baby, my dad watched it the day it came out and my mom stayed home with me. On the day it was released on VHS it was my 1 year birthday, November 15th 1989. My dad had bought this movie and when he popped it into the VCR player my mom and dad told me I sat through the whole movie and watched it, and this was a big deal since it was the only movie I cared to watch. Anything else I wouldn't pay no mind to but for some reason 89 Batman has me instantly hooked. When the credits started rolling my dad stopped it and rewinded it, they said when he did that I started crying. Most people can recall when they started liking their first superhero but for me I've loved Batman for as long as I've had memories, especially Keaton's Batman (he's my favorite live action Batman).

I'm Batman

Now this is a pleasant surprise

I'm Batman

Batman Returns, 100% yes!

JD

so have we seen it before or not?

Nick Kessler

Me and my best friend at the time Kimball rode our bikes to the Century 21 Theater in San Jose, CA to watch this despite our parents telling us "no" LMFAO no no I never did anything like that ๐Ÿคฅ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿ˜Ž

Christopher Dietz

Definitely do Batman Returns!

nick payne

Keaton Played a pretty dern good Batman. Back when batman movies still had some fun in them.

jason

Yessssss๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ heโ€™s my Batman and this was a great soundtrack

Paige Moody

Soundtrack by Prince!

JD

fun fact: jack nicholson wouldn't do this movie unless he had top billing, even though he wasn't the lead character

Karl Kraus

you need to go ahead and finish with pirates of the caribbean you haven't seen the third movie in months AND you need to watch the star wars sequel trilogy

Karl Kraus

In the next one, Danny Devito's Penguin is EXTREMELY underrated. Also Michelle Pfeiffer really learned to use the whip to play Catwoman.

Jesse McAdams

Dancing with the devil in the pale Moonlight I see ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿƒ

Jay Rivera

the opening music from this movie was rearranged and used in the intro to the batman animated show from 1992, the first thing that made that show great

Karl Kraus

Yes! I โค๏ธ Jack Nicholson in this. Great nostalgic Batman ๐Ÿ‘

Astrobuckshot

OMG! this brings back so many memories !

Edgar Gonzalez

Iโ€™m surprised you guys didnโ€™t include Mayans in your TV series poll. Especially since itโ€™s directly from Sons of Anarchy

Michael Lynch

Are you guys going to continue the Mission Impossible series?

Davey

The juice is loose....wait wrong Keaton lol. 89 Batman hell yeah this was my childhood, away from campy Adam West (which I also loved) to this Burton masterpiece. I hope everyone has some fun nostalgia with this reactionโœŒโค enjoy fam!

Darth Brooks

If u haven't watch batman returns yet, it would be a great Chistmas movie to watch

Lewsifer

YES๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

ALYSSA RIVERA
