I was raised on 60s Batman and when I was 12 the word that Batman was coming to the big screen was everywhere, there was shirts with the symbol everywhere, lots of whining that mr mom / beetle juice was playing Batman. Then that trailer hit and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing- it looked so real and big. I skipped school and caught the train to the first screening and what I saw was simply amazing. I raced to the record store and bought the soundtrack and listened to it non stop. It was unreal!

The only difference is that with Supes and Batman, the creative team actually cares about the story and characters, unlike marvel.

1989 was a great year for movies: Batman. Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. Lethal Weapon 2. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Back to The Future 2. Dead Poet's Society. The Abyss. Born on the Fourth of July. Ghostbusters 2. Uncle Buck. License to Kill. Pet Semetry. Parenthood. Honey, I Shrunk The Kids. Roadhouse. See No Evil, Hear No Evil. Black Rain. Dead Calm. And then, of course, it would only be 4 years until Jurassic Park launched into Cinemas. Great days! The mid-late 70s, 80s, and 90s were honestly the best years for movie-goers. Going to the cinema in those days to watch the original classic movies for the first time was a real experience. Films like: Jaws and Jaws 2. The original Star Wars trilogy. Alien and Aliens. Superman. Bladerunner. The Terminator, and T2. Ghostbusters. Back to The Future. ET. The Thing. Raiders of The Lost Ark. Beverly Hills Cop. Lethal Weapon. Gremlins. Poltergeist. Karate Kid. Jurassic Park. Speed. Independence Day. Plus, all of the Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan Bond movies! So many good memories 😊

Oh, man. My high school gf and I had just started dating. This premiered the day before my 17th bday, so we spent the day at the beach, then we went out to dinner (she was a year older than me and had her own car, which I did not at the time), met up with friends at one of the many local malls that literally does not exist anymore (knocked down, nothing but a memory) and stood in line for an hour that felt like minutes. We couldnt have been more excited. My friends and I were not just Batman fans but huge comic book fans, so to say that we were thrilled was an understatement. We must have seen that film 5 times or so in the theater. Anyway, later that night, after a perfect day, I entered the ranks of adulthood, so to speak. So the beach, Batman, and birthday boinking.

And i haven’t felt anything like that since then. I wasn’t even that much into Batman. Spider-Man was my character. But I got swept up in the mania. The advertising was EVERYWHERE. There was an air of excitement, mystery and uncertainty because we knew the characters but we didn’t know what to expect. When I saw it on the big screen, I was blown away. I got hooked on the 1989 Batman. The look and feel of the movie was and is hard to put into words.

People who were not around during the summer of 1989 cannot fully comprehend how huge this movie was. No single film after Batman '89 captured the public's attention on such a large scale. It truly was Batmania. Studios have tried to replicate the madness in the years following 1989. Films like Dick Tracy (1990) and others could not come close. Not even the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live action movie could generate the tremendous level of hype Batman '89 achieved. 35 years later we are still feeling the impact of Batmania. It shaped every Batman film, cartoon, and video game that followed. The Dark Knight arrived in 1989 and he has been in the public consciousness ever since.

I watched this movie for the 1st time at a Zellers store when I was 9. My mom just shopped and I was glued to the screen showing the movie. Then I got it for Xmas , still one of my favorite movies. Still own about 20 batman shirts and all the movies. 89 was the best.

I was 24 and grew up on the 1966 Batman show. The first week it came out, on a Friday, I couldn't get tickets until the following Wednesday night at midnight in a different state. Ok, so it was less than 20 miles but I still had to cross a state line to get there. The VHS release was one of the first low priced video releases in history. It came out in the theaters in June and was on home video before Christmas in the US which was unprecedented at the time and was less than $20 US. Batmania was real. I went to the bathtub races in Moravia, NY (It's a thing, Google it) that summer and someone had decorated one of the tubs like the Batmobile.

No Thanks for watching

I still clearly remember those great times. I read the novel and constantly played both Prince and Elfman's LPs months before it was released here in the UK. Still have the posters, newspaper clippings, magazines and VHS clips I taped.

Very few kids didn't

Bill Finger created Batman and died penniless and alone. F Bob Kane!

Saw it in theaters in St Augustine Fla on vacation one rainy afternoon!

“I have given a name to my pain and it is Batman.”

I remember walking past Michael Keaton on the street while he was scouting out my neighborhood, for One Good Cop. I remember noting how short he was, and thinking what an unlikely choice he was to play Batman....But he pulled it off.

I can beleive the Bat Shoes were lifts

Those were the days, I had the sticker album, collector cards and the batman toys to go with this film . And genuine excitement about a film . Which I haven't had in years. Along side Robocop, Ghostbusters , indiana Jones, Beverly hills cop, and back to the future. I found the 80's to be a magical time to be a film buff Everything felt more original. Not forgetting Rambo , Dirty Harry and The Terminator. If only the world could go back this way . Exciting cinema adverts, themed food and drink , desirable toys and video-games spin- offs . Would help out troubled cineworld cinema's greatly

Yes, good times indeed

It really was a great time! It was everywhere, in the mall and each store, in fast food joints, on television. Every person was wearing some sort of Batman tees and it was everywhere in school. I still have a ton of collectibles from Batman 1989... My copies of The Dark Knight Returns I got after the viewing in the theater. What a fun time it was. I loved every minute of it!

The 80s rocked especially the summer of 1989 for me the best summer ever

Yes it did, check out the recent video I did about 1989

What made Keaton work as Batman, despite all his flaws (being short, balding and not the most muscular) Keaton had that serious scowl look on his face when he was thinking. That was totally Bruce/Batman in the comic. Also Keaton understood less was more when he was Batman, and let the costume do most of the work.
