"Lieutenant, is There a Six-Foot Bat in Gotham City?"

"And if so, is he on the police payroll? And if so, what's he pulling down... after taxes?"




Happy 25th anniversary to Batman, released on this day in 1989.

Never rub another man's rhubarb.

Words to live by.

I know this is pretty much blasphemy, but I think this movie is boring as shit. I love the way Gotham looks, but that's about it. I don't care for Nicholson's Joker at all. Keaton is a good Bruce/Batman, but he's bogged down by a boring story and an interpretation of the Joker that I just can't get behind.

I actually like Batman Returns a lot better, despite the fact that it's a clusterf*** that makes absolutely zero sense.

[Sin Cara Tres]

I like this movie but I'd put Nolan's series above it.

But we got The Animated Series due to the success of this and Returns so yay.

Did we ever find out what happened to Johnny Gobbs?

I think this has some lulls, but I love both Keaton films for different reasons.

My only real complaint is that Batman's head being fused in place is incredibly obvious on closeups, but filmed in a way to hide its weaknesses a little more helps.

"Hey Count Dracula, have you seen Bigfoot today?"

There was a time a couple years back when I was sour on the Burton Batmen, but I now accept it for what it is. (I guess realizing that the Nolan films weren't perfect either helped). And yes, it begat B:TAS which PERFECTED the Bat Formula.

[Milkman Norm]

I remember it well. Robert Wuhl-mania struck the nation. It was only a matter of time before Arl$$ became the most sucessful television show in history.

I wish the Batdance video was online, but I think it's been blocked.

[James Fabiano]

Fact: both Burton plots happened in the West series, oddly enough.

[Citizen Snips]

A truly important movie in FAN history as well, as it gave us the "He's at home, washing his tights!" response to any missing wrestler.

[Tony Schiavontay]

This is one of my favourite movies scenes of all time. I laugh every time. What a day...

['Foretold' Joker]

Now comes the part where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your failed and useless lives. But, as my plastic surgeon always said: if you gotta go, go with a smile.


I to no ones surprise really like this film.

He got ripped and took a walk off a roof, alright? No big loss.
