Right there with you. That movie was way ahead of its time and still holds up even today.

A new movie from visionary director Tim Button starring Johnny Depp and whoever his wife is at the moment!

I do like the Burton aesthetic, but Forever is still my favorite Batman movie.

Where you just at the right age when it came out?
I think I was in highschool when it came out, and everyone went to see it. We had two entire schools mob the theatre. My biggest memory of it was walking out of the theater and I to the lobby for a minute and a bunch of my friends were already out there We talked about it for a bit, basically just made fun of it, and then went back inside.
“Holy metal, Batman!” is my main memory of the entire thing.

Shame you were down voted, everyone likes their own things. I preferred the first one until the Nolan ones myself (lived in the middle of nowhere was actually one of the few theatre movies I saw) but there was a horrible drought of superhero movies for those decades and any Batman was fun to get.

Crazy that I have two reasons to post this video in the same day, but if you haven’t seen it, you have to go watch the Kevin Smith talk where he pulls back the curtain on his involvement on this movie’s production:

That talk is not about Batman '89.

I know it makes me basic, but I far prefer Nolan's BATMAN to any that I saw previously, the camp aesthetic never really grabbed me, probably why I never got into comic books all that much

Yeah, my thoughts as well. The two Nolan Batman movies are great.
On another note, I really appreciate all three Indiana Jones movies. I’m so glad they didn’t make any further ones later, they would probably have sucked.
