Batman 1989

[YALE]

Anyone remember the terrible Prince song?

On behalf of prince fans everywhere, Morris, and Jerome, fuck you.

Was never a fan of the 89 Batman. Imo, it was too cheesy and the bat mobile sucked.

I don't think there waa anything cheesy about. It was a serious movie unlike those abominations schumaker made.

Yale, we all remember the barn scene with Appolonia. Oh to be a single straw on the ground of the barn that day.

Keaton is by far the best batman, Bale is second best IMO. Ledger's Joker is unbeatable IMO.

I wouldn't say ledger's joker is better then good old jack back in the day but a different take on it. Back then that is what really screwed with people's heads. The world is in a far darker place and needed something alittle different. So u can't say either one is better then the other. Just a different time. IMO

Or they may have their own opinion and think that Ledger was better than Nicholson or vice versa.

Ledger and Nicholson both did good jobs portraying the Joker....like someone mentioned earlier, it was 1989 and it was a different time so trying to compare the two actors portrayal of the Joker is really unproductive.

overall I like Ledger's version of the Joker...I like the darker more maniacal persona. I liked Nicholsons version, but for myself Ole Jack did not make me feel "scared" at what he might do next, he seemed to make it a bit more comical than Ledger did.

This movie is so much better than the new ones. Michael Keaton was made for the role. The amount of A listers in this movie that I didn't yet know when I was a kid is staggering. Tim Burton was perfect for directing one of the darker super heros, also. I wouldn't say Nicholsons take on The Joker was better than Ledgers in the new series, but he plays to his crazy strengths. This movie is awesome, and fun, something the newer ones seem to lack, imo.

Nicholson is a great actor period, that was my favorite movie when I was younger, had a badass story line with the way everything flowed. With ledger, he didn't do a bad job, but it was interesting and a little more realistic and modern. The original was the best though, hands down.

This argument could go either way but I personally preferred Ledgers take. Him sliding down all that $ was hilarious.

I watched the original soon after watching TDK and really did not enjoy it. Ledger's joker will never be beaten.

I don't know, man, Keaton is pretty brilliant! Where Nicholson went over the top, Keaton went subtle, but you could still see the huge range of his duality pulling at him, without much irony or camera winking. I just picked this up on Bluray and think I like it much more now than I did as a kid, mostly due to being able to appriciate the cast and what each of them brings to the table. Basinger still screams too fucking much, though.

Another Keaton movie that i appriciate more now than when i was a kid, Beatlejuice. You don't realize how "adult" that movie is until you see it later on.

I just rewatched it the other day on a flight, still a great movie, I think I enjoyed it more now than the last time I watched it.

It didnt feel like I was watching a 20 year old movie, only the cars and phones pictured gave it away.
