Michael Keaton as Batman ** 89 trailers pg 3

Ha! He doesn't even see it. Egghead and Mr. Freeze are the guys he doesn't like; Egghead is too manic and looks weird and Mr. Freeze is too German, or something.

Thats why when kids need a superhero fix you buy them Sky High. They'll love you for it.lol

I'm good pals with Kieron Dwyer, the artist who did the comic work in the credits. In my case it's not so much having to buy Sky High as having to buy ANOTHER copy, as we're wearing this one out.

Old-skool Batman eschewed guns because his parents were killed by one.

Oh rly??

Yeah, and Mister Spock laughs and yells in the first couple Star Treks, too.

What's more, he's a VULCANIAN, people. Can it with this "Vulcan" crap, already!

It wasn't the only time, and not just at the beginning, either.

He's just shooting blanks to scare the criminals. It's all part of an elaborate ruse.

Joker's happy to have stolen the Batmobile, and Batman is happy to have caught him. Seriously, man; little kids don't care about the Tim Burton-on version of Batman, because parents don't expose them to it. How does Batman become Batman isn't a question that occurs to kids. He's Batman. That's all they need to know. You tell a three year old that Batman's parents got killed and he dresses in black to strike fear into the bad guys, who, every time he punches one, he sees the face of Joe Chill, the guy who murdered Mommy and Daddy right in front of him, and, well... you're going to be up a lot in the middle of the night. If not actually adding a future serial murderer to society.

We're cracking through the Adam West version, so as far as my three-and-a-half year old knows, Joker's just a bad-guy clown.

i was the compleat opposite when i was a kid in the 90's. i hated the goofy childish batman and loved the gritty darker batman. even when i was really yung like 3 or 4. i kinda missed out on the west batman though and was pretty much raised on the keaton films, batman forrever, the darker cartoon, and the 70's/80's/90's comics.
as far as im concerned Michael Keaton IS batman.

Oh god, oh god. In, like, six months we're gonna have people on here saying things like "I remember when I was a kid in the Noughties, blah blah", and we'll all totally Darth Vadering over it.

Sorry. Old man moment.

Hey I learned all of that when I was three or four... I'm not mentally disturbed... (I think.)

- but I'd never seen anything like this my 18yrs on the planet. It was an EVENT.

I bought a ticket to the Kevin Kline yawner JANUARY MAN because it was showing the Batman trailer.

Did you stay to watch the movie??

i remember seeing Batman and they showed the trailer for Ghostbusters 2 and we were all freaking out.

Then we saw GB2 and they showed the trailer for Lethal Weapon 2 and we freaked out for that.

If i remember right, Last Crusade came out before all of them and we saw the trailer for Batman before it - you can imagine the crowd in there.

I did; five bucks was a lot of money for me back then.

of all the Batman movies, i think this one was actually misnamed.
Should have been named JOKER due to Jack's screen time.

This movie was HUGE for me when I was a kid.
still is a great one

With the exception of Batman Begins, I think all the Batman movies were about the villains, rather than Batman.

That's also Val Kilmer's "official" reason as to why he didn't want to come back to the role.

Well Val can come back...AS FATMAN!!!
