@thenonexistinghero No it wasn't done away with quickly. Batman's inspired from pulp and noir genre, he's supposed to kill and use guns. It persisted throughout the Golden Age of comics until in the late 50s when the new Comic Code concerned about kids reading comic books about superheroes using violence and arms banned all killing and guns in comics and dumbed down all the seriousness of the stories. This gave rise to the Silver Age Batman we see Adam West playing in the '60s as well as Filmation's Superman and Batman cartoons and HB's Super Friends. Even though the comics in the late 70s (Bronze Age) got back to exploring Batman's roots and general seriousness of comics was brought back, the graphic novel Batman TDKR and this movie (Burton's main basis being the Golden Age pulp, noir and gothic hero) established the modern interpretation of the character.

Palance did a lot of creepy inhales when speaking his lines. He also called Jack (Joker) his "(deep inhale) num-ber-onnne guyyyy".

"Ever dance with the Devil in the pale Moon light?" This was the best Batman and the best joker. Because it was the first to take it dark...and still comic. Everything else is what it is. Not taking anything away from them

This interesting detail that’s been pointed out in this movie: First, Jack meets Bruce; then Batman meets Jack; Joker and Batman briefly meet; then Joker meets Bruce; then finally, Batman Vs Joker.

The money the Joker is "giving away" during the parade is actually counterfeit money with his face on the bills(It's Funny "Joker" Money). This is foreshadowed earlier in the movie during the Art gallery scene. The counterfeit money reveal was cut from the theatrical release, but is on the comic book version.

This is probably my favorite joker out of all the versions of the life action Jokers. Solely because there has to be in my opinion a contrast between Joker and Batman Batman ironically being the darker one and joker ironically being the much lighter sillier one. In this tackles it very very wonderfully, we don’t need to have a “ Society doesn’t like me therefore I kill everybody” sort of backstory, or a reason to kill, in this version he just kills because he finds it funny. And he personally thinks that he is absolutely gorgeous so he should make everybody else the same just like him. And Jack Nicholson did it wonderfully

I’ve always interpreted it as “this man killed my parents, and because of me he became a worse monster, no more holding back” after he finds out the truth.

Keaton's Bruce Wayne does look pretty normal and unassuming, that's why I always found he was the best Batman because if you met the guy, you'd never suspect him of being Batman. It works very well for me.

While Heath Ledger turned in a remarkable performance in Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight," his Joker was so dour, so morose that the clown facade became utterly ironic.

In contrast, what was so great about Jack Nicholson’s Joker-and Cesar Romero before him-was the blend of mirth and mayhem they brought.

Wrong. The scene is taken from Frank Miller's BATMAN YEAR ONE which came out in 1987, two years before this movie.

If I recall correctly, Nicholson actually wore two layers of makeup for the scene where he kills the guy with the joy buzzer and then wipes his face. He had the white makeup on, with a different type of "flesh-tone" makeup layered over top of that which was designed to be easier to wipe off with the rag, thus revealing the white color beneath it. They did it that way to ensure that it looked like the white "skin" was under the makeup instead of painted on top. His weird grin was a prosthetic, meanwhile.

Prince was already a legend at that point and his music for the movie was on the radio constantly! It was just such a great period of time!

They did almost the same shot of Batman charging in on Joker in the Dark Knight only they swapped the Bat-Wing for the Bat-Bike.

The scene of the Joker continuing to laugh even in death really edged itself into my memory as a kid, and was my one core memory of this film. Jack Nicholson killed it as the Joker, he's genuinely psychotic and sadistic, but in a very entertaining way that you can't tear your eyes away from.

Jack's Joker was actually funny. The others have had their moments, but since Ledger there hasn't been much attempt to have the Joker be, you know, funny. Also, on the Joker's makeup, they actually had to create a base makeup that they could put the foundation on top of so when he wiped it, the white would remain and only the foundation would wipe off.

Now you guys got to do them all for sure!! PLEASE!

About the the scene where the Joker wipes the foundation off... The white paint on his face is actually underneath the foundation he wipes off. They just came up with a formula that stayed on even when he wiped the "skin tone". Also, the make up artists left a smudge on the Joker's neck when he revealed himself to Grissom.

Nice touch with the audio. When young Jack lets go of the gun's hammer after he says "See ya around, kid.", the clicks echo and sound like a laugh.

We had this on VHS growing up, and my brother and I used to watch this sooo many times. Michael Keaton is such an awesome Batman, but both our favorite character was The Joker. The character was so funny to us that in certain scenes he had us both on the floor in stitches. We were kids, so we were focused more on how funny he was rather than the fact he was a complete psychopath. I also like that this Joker does not wear clown makeup, rather he was disfigured and the chemicals he fell into turned his skin white and his hair and fingernails green (fingernails are actually made of keratin, the same as hair, so it makes sense).

I remember going to see this in theaters when I was 11 years old. Totally by happenstance; we ran into one of my friends from elementary school. (Michael Oxford, if you're out there - it's been a while, man!) I remember when the title screen popped up we both looked at each other grinning, with an "OOOH!" as it played. Such a great movie.

This will always be my Batman/Joker duo, and no one can convince me otherwise.

For anyone growing up in the 80's that theme song IS the Batman theme song, they even use a version of it in the opening of Batman the Animated Series.

Paused @6:53 right after you both commented on the stiffness of the Batsuit. Hoo Boy! If memory serves this first Latex Rubber Batsuit was around 100lbs With the Cape. When this film was being made it was filmed all on sets in the UK. The Batsuit itself wasn't made from FOAM Latex. Same material that's been essentially Whisked like a Meringue for a Lemon Meringue pie. Foam Latex became a thing in Horror movies as its use was developed between A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 and 3 Dream Warriors, give or take a year. By the end of the 80's Foam Latex had been used Widely with Masters, like Stan Winston really doing Large with full bodysuits like Pumpkinhead. While by that time Foam Latex had been developed as early as for An American Werewolf in London in 1980, the Thought of applying it to the first Batman Suit, which was Supposed to be Armor Like just didn't come to mind when developing that first Batsuit. So it was Heavy and Stiff. Best demonstrated by that Alley Fight scene where Batman is playing Dead and the Jokers thugs are looking for a Wallet. One Pokes his armor with his gun and there's No GIVE when he pokes it. That Rubber was Stiffer than what's on your Sneakers and Deck Shoes. The Cape Itself was Also a Thin Rubber which accounted for the rest of the weight. For Batman Returns they Fixed the problem cutting the weight down from 100lbs to about 60lbs. Compare 2 headshots side by side and you can see that the Design of the Cowl remains Perfectly intact only its Tighter to the head, Clearly not as thick to the first cowl and far Shinier and not mottled and flat looking as the first. And when Bruce Wayne rips off the cowl during the climax in front of Catwoman and Max Schreck, the way it Tears is how Foam Latex at 5 millimeters thick tears. Most Halloween masks are made from foam latex of various grades depending on the price.

The reason being that silicone oil has the property of not sticking to things. He had be very careful not to smudge it until that moment.

This batman and Batman Returns my 2 favorite movies ever made. Nobody can ever be better rheb Michael Keaton,Jack Nicholson,Michelle Pfeiffer and Danny Devito 🔥❤️🙂

The parade scene is a callback to earlier in the movie, When Joker said he wanted his face on the one dollar bill all those notes hes throwing are counterfeit one dollar bills with his face

I had a tough time finding a summer job this one year - and I ended up working in a movie theater. I got to walk in on all the best scenes in this movie many, many, many times every day.

I was in Jr. High when this came out and all the kids wore Batman T Shirts. It was like a style of it's own because they looked cool.

Awesome movie thanks for the reaction video n you two are great to watch n react to the movies.

Gad, what an enjoyable reaction! You guys appreciate this movie like I do.

Great video. One of my favourite films.

Michael Keaton will be back as Batman with another actor, Ben Affleck who played Batman. They are part of new The Flash (Ezra Miller) coming out in June 2023. Premise is time travel. Mchael as Bruce/ Batman is the alternate universe while Ben as Bruce/ Batman current time as Ezra's (Barry/ Flash).

My mom loves this Batman film, she first saw it on VHS when she was 11.

i love when he calls the pearls "white beads"

Saw this on premiere night in the theater that my favorite comic book store (the dragons lair) rented out. Doesn’t get any nerdier then that. Best Batman movie ever

7:14 FUN FACT That set was used even on Aliens movie of James Cameron, they said that it was never clean up even after 3 years of the release of the sequel of Alien of Ridley Scott. That set was the Cocoon of the eggs to impregnated all the prisoners of the LV-246.

Jack Palance pops up in movies so randomly, I half expect him to appear in new movies even though he’s been dead for more than 15 years as of this post.

0:08 I didn't particularly grow up with it, I've seen it alot as like a kid....

When this movie was in theaters in 1989, David Letterman's show added a bat-signal to the skyline background behind his desk.

The guy playing Eckhart played Perkins in Star Wars: A New Hope

I love the fact that you know who radio Raheem is. And this is my favorite Batman movie.

I’ve probably seen this movie hundreds of times and I never noticed Lawrence nodding in the background good on you guys that shit is hilarious

A bit late but that line that the Joker said about Bob being his number one guy was a tribute to Jack Palance (the jokers old boss that he killed). Jack Palance used that line on the movie "Tango and Cash" with Stallone and Kurt Russell.

Jack Nicholson's laugh is contagious, it's the sort of laugh where, if someone told you not to laugh and you tried to suppress it for too long, that's what you'd get. When he starts laughing, you can't help but laugh too.

God, this movie still kicks wholesale ass, I still turn to a nonplussed pet while I'm having the Ha-Ha's and shout, *_"WHATTA YOU LAUGHIN' AT?!"_* to their disdain.

I love how with "LET'S GET NUTS" Michael Keaton just randomly goes Beetlejuice for a few seconds 😂

that museum scene is god tier level acting and performance, I love it. That scene is so awesome. And I mean come on, it's Prince!

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

Easily one of the best reaction videos I have ever seen

Before this movie, Michael Keaton starred in comedies (Beetlejuice, for one). It was hard to imagine him as Batman. He did a great job (as did Nicholson as Joker).

I love your guys' appreciation of Bob. He deserved better 😂

Honestly, Clooney was not a bad pick to play Bruce/Batman, but the script was so utterly horrible...

No it was just a period where cable would run certain movies over and over.

I actually don't think Batman & Robin was a bad film in a vacuum. Not perfect, but good campy fun. Same with Forever. The problem really was trying to be a continuation of the Burton ones, which to he fair are campy in their own wonderful way but in a different kind of way, and the giant tonal and aesthetic shift is what makes it hard to watch the four films as one series.
