B89 Picture Post

[Whack Arnolds]

Is it possible if everyone can use this thread to share and post their best pictures from the B89 movie? I used to have a bunch, but they got deleted and I'm looking to get a collection again. If you could post pictures, it would be much appreciated.

[D'Artagnan]

I've been saving every picture of the movie I've found on the net for almost ten years, lol.

[DocLathropBrown]

May I add Batman Returns pictures to that request? I'm always interested in finding new-to-me pictures.

I'm about to post some B89 pics for ya, Arnolds. May I also ask that anyone who posts pictures save them FROM where you found them and then upload them to an imagehosting provider? Particularly Imageshack.us? It would be nice for A) all of the pictures to show up, and B) All of the pictures to stay hosted so this thread doesn't become useless a few months down the line....

[DocLathropBrown]

Imageshack's being stupid, so here's just a couple to start off with...

Notice that in this and several other pictures, Keaton is wearing the Steel Gauntlet that he uses to rescue Vicki from the museum, so here's your chance to get a better look at it...

^ This is the Dark Knight Detective! Bale's certainly a Dark Knight, but he was a bit too vengeful in Begins for my tastes for me to call him "perfect". And he didn't get to be a detective! Here's hoping he grows into the role in BB2!

Thanks a bunch Doc, lol... you're my hero. Well you and Batman. Keep em coming. I like that advertising banner, basically saying Bats isn't all "Pow, Zap, and Wham". If anyone has the B89 symbol used from the poster and movie one sheets as a wallpaper, that would be appreciated as well.

Finally, here are 4 unused posters that I restored myself from the originals, which had a maroonish tint and an annoying url across the middle of each. I once found these restorations on Batman: YTB, without credit or permission! Do NOT use these without giving me credit.

[Whack Arnolds]

I think I remember once seeing other posters as well. They made a bunch of concept ones, and the other ones had color. Like one had Joker's face smiling crrepily at the base of the Gotham Cathedral, and it had a silouhette of Batman standing over them.

Not to my knowledge. T'was a promo poster as far as I know.

Are crap, double post, my bad.

[PSU442]

wierd. Thank goodness they dropped those campaign ideas. I think they're cool to look at now... but they're rather bad. Granted, its concept art. Those tag lines are terrible.

[fabman]

I liked the concept art, they're magnificent. I always missed another 'real' Batman poster, I mean, the only one released is the one with the batsymbol on it.

edit. NOOOOO!!!

Here you are, Kevin. Direct from the "Beyond Batman" featurette: "Designing the Batsuit", from the bit that talks about designing the cape.

EDIT: Thinking about it, I guess this isn't what you're looking for, Kevin, you said City Hall in the daytime, and I think I recall that, too. But I don't have the time right now to scour the featurettes to find it...

In all honesty, he looks like a fifth grader in an expensive Halloween costume. Horrible shot. Makes Keaton look about 4'11".

There is certainly no mystery about Bale's Batman, as we know everything going on in his head, we know why he became Batman, we even know how he made his costume and where he gets his gadgets from. Plus, he shouts at bad guys to scare them whereas Keaton's Batman only had to appear to scare them - that's why he's dressed as a bat.

[Milkman95]

Great pictures, and I can see why they dropped those awful poster concepts - because they're crap. The symbol poster was simple and effective.

Funny, I don't recall Bale's Batman saying more than "here", "nice coat", and "I'm Batman" during Batman's first appearance in Begins. Yeah, he was yelling alright.............

He only screams at one person in the movie, and that is Flass. And yet still, everyone else is scared. Same deal. Different approach. I rather know why this man chooses to do what he does, as opposed to treating his background and idelogies as an after thought.:up:

[Whack Arnolds]

It's all there in the Burton films, it's just not handed to you on a platter. I perfer to look between the lines.LOL WTF!! It's not EVEN clost to "being all there" in the Burton films. Go ahead and look between the lines and imagine the why's and how's, but it all most certainly isn't there. It's not about being handed on a 'platter'. It's a movie, it should tell a story. Not everything should have to be 'read between the lines'. And it wasn't even that, the Burton films mainly treated all of the essentials and interesting aspects of why and how Bruce has become the way he has as an after thought. It isn't till damn near the last part of the film until we see that his parents were killed... then it just quickly rushes into more Joker v.s. Batman confrontations. Don't make it sound as if that if someone rather actually see the development of the character from the beginning, that they are in need of it being 'shown on a silver platter'. You make it sound so condescending, and belittling, as if someone is less intelligent because they actually rather see the story unfold rather than just look for it and make up one's on conclusions as to why he is what he is. Just cause his parents were murdered NEVER explains why he would dress up as a Bat and fight crime... You said yourself you like Batman Year One, so obviouslly you like things when they are 'shown to you on a silver platter'. So try not to be such a douche next time. :up:

[Sandman138]

NLet's see, we get "people fear what they don't understand" pounded into our heads or some derivitive of that for all of the first act, we get an uber in-depth explanation of every part of his suit, he says straight up "If I become a symbol, I'm incorruptuble" (which isn't even his idea here, or a conclusion he came to, it was something he and we as an audience were spoon fed), the overabbundance of exposition in that film is overwhelming. How is that not being handed information on a platter?

And from a thread a while back, points that I've made that you didn't address: "[The Burton movies] may not have been as closely tied to the comics as most would have liked and that is a valid complaint, but the script made sense as a self contained story. Burton's Batman was willing to kill a man once he realized that the man in question had killed his parents, is that the Batman from the comics? No. However, in the context of the movie it was a logical progression. And there was character development. At the begining of Batman, Bruce is unsure of himself. He is not comfortable in his own skin so he dons a mask, which makes him feel like a freak. He goes out and fights crime, but he isn't sure why he does it. He seconed guesses his actions, and is a nuerotic mess in general. When he confronts the man who destroyed his life, he finds his determination and resolve and by the end of the movie has become confident in the path he has chosen for himself." - http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?t=191292&page=6

The point is, whereas Begins explains Batman's motivations in a cut and dry manner, Burton's movies leave you to interpert his motivations through his actions. I perfer this. Yes, I like Year One, but you'll notice that my favorite Batman story is Arkham Asylum, which is much more ambiguos.

[El Payaso]

Burton left maybe too much to the imagination. Begins over-explained things so one would not understand a bit of it.

It tells a story, so you are always being 'handed something on a silver platter'. And don't act is if the Burton movies didn't beat you over the head with concepts. Because they damn sure beat us over the head with the duality aspect of the character...so much so that it became boring. They used it as a theme in the first one, and supposedly based of "german expressionism" all of the surrounding characters around Bruce in Returns deal with different sides to his personality...thus even further going into the blatantly obvious theme of 'duality'. How many times do we need to go into it? I mean they cover it in B89, and then all over Returns is virtually about duality. Add to the fact that the actual plot/story, and not the metaphors and themes, are even more boring than its predecessor. BEGINS went an adverse route, telling a story of why and how he came to be. One should expect to be 'handed the information', because that was the point of the story. And it also touches on some themes not yet touched by previous Bat-flicks.

Now I have seen from many of your posts, and I know that you simply don't like Batman Begins. With comments like "someone who mops around for two hours", which is so blatantly biased and not true... there is no point in even being objective with you.

I like them both pretty equally. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I'm not one who has to feel like he has to take sides in the Burton v.s. Nolan war, because I enjoy both. You however have drawn the line in the sand in regards to the BEGINS film. Which is ashame, because it is a very good Bat-flick, and its purpose provides the opptimism to have the greatest Batman flick of all time ahead of it.

Boring? boring? I've seen Batman and Batman Returns so many times, and they are never boring. "Weird and gross", but not boring. The duality is interesting and psychological. There is nothing boring about killing sleeping children. And Christopher Walken is never boring.

I don't like Begins, I never said I don't like Nolan. I'm looking foward to the sequel, I'm interested in his take on things.

[Whack Arnolds]

Boring? boring? I've seen Batman and Batman Returns so many times, and they are never boring.I never said Batman 1989 was boring. B89 is straight up the most fun movie out of all 5 Batman movies released. I was saying as an entertainment perspective, Returns is boring compared to B89, BEGINS, hell even Forever. It's outward plot isn't very interesting. It's internal story is however a better story, it's just that not many out there are able to value that.

The duality is interesting and psychological.I never said it wasn't, but it is over used within the first two films. We didn't need it as a strong theme in the first, and then be the STRONGEST theme in the second. It get's a little repeditive. We, the audience knows that Bruce Wayne deals with duel identities.

There is nothing boring about killing sleeping children.Yeah, if sleeping children were actually killed. Instead we got a super boring and ridiculous Penguin commando squad, with little firecrackers strapped to their backs. That my friend, is LAME.

So any info given to you is being handed to you on a platter? It's a movie, not a search to find something. It tells a story, so you are always being 'handed something on a silver platter'. And don't act is if the Burton movies didn't beat you over the head with concepts.

They used it as a theme in the first one, and supposedly based of "german expressionism" all of the surrounding characters around Bruce in Returns deal with different sides to his personality...thus even further going into the blatantly obvious theme of 'duality'.

Add to the fact that the actual plot/story, and not the metaphors and themes, are even more boring than its predecessor. BEGINS went an adverse route, telling a story of why and how he came to be. One should expect to be 'handed the information', because that was the point of the story. And it also touches on some themes not yet touched by previous Bat-flicks.

First of all, German Expressionism has nothing to do with the script. It's a genre dedicated to the visual expression of feelings. Examples are the films Metropolis, The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, and the paintings of Edvard Munch (at via influence). Don't use a phrase if you don't know what it means, or better yet do some research it's not that hard, what with the internet and all.

Second, narratives are defined, in part, by "hermeneutic composability" (Bruner, 1991) where there is the meaning an author is expressing and a meaning the audience is extracting, so yes movies (and all forms of narratives) are a "search to find something". To the extent that it is a search, I perfer ambiguity, as I perfer to be an active audience rather than a passive one.

Third, that there were more than two aspects to Batman's psychological makeup in Returns negates your claim that it was "virtually about duality". Rather it was, as Kevin put it in the Returns Apreciation Thread, how the aspects "all work with each other at some points, but they never all work together, and eventually they destroy each other". It's also about Bruce realizing that he's hiding behind a monster that he created because he feels helpless as himself, as evidenced by his final exchange with Penguin:

PENGUIN
I think you're jealous that I'm a
genuine freak, and you have to wear
a mask!

BATMAN
Maybe you're right.

In any case, it's about duality only to the extent that one of Bruces ongoing conflicts (externalized by Selina) is an inability to reconcile the mask with the man under it. This is not the main point of the movie.

Fourth, I already addressed that Batman '89 was about Bruce finding his purpose for being Batman by confronting the man who killed his parents. This is not simply about duality, rather it is about transformation.

Fifth, even if Burton's movies beat you over the head with their concepts (debatable as you seem to have overlooked many of them) they didn't come out and put it in a vapid line such as "everyone fears what they don't understand".

Now I have seen from many of your posts, and I know that you simply don't like Batman Begins. With comments like "someone who mops around for two hours", which is so blatantly biased and not true... there is no point in even being objective with you.

Of course I'm biased, everybody is. I have an opinion, and to the extent that express my opinion in a clear fashion (assuming others are using the lexicon of the discourse I'm engaging in) I expect others to have a different opinion and to debate my points. That said, if you want a more objective view of Begins from me, I suggest you lookhere (http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?t=181354&page=32).

That site is basically what happens with google if you type in, "Batman Begins" or "Batman Returns" or whatever. And about as well-organized. A few rare pics but 95% everyone has seen before.

This one is obviously David Lea, Michael Keaton stuntman with Burton.

Keaton rules - when he's in that suit he becomes the ultimate badass !

[Whack Arnolds]

The last pic is so awesome.

[Kevin Roegele]

Keaton rules - when he's in that suit he becomes the ultimate badass !

He didn't have to even say anything, he just was pure badass.

He's a lot like me.

[Whack Arnolds]

He didn't have to even say anything, he just was pure badass.Definetly. At least from the neck up, lol. And ignoring his size and presence. :up:

[El Payaso]

Definetly. At least from the neck up, lol. And ignoring his size and presence. :up:

The presence was precisely everything.

[Sandman138]

That was what Keaton had in spades, presence!

[Kevin Roegele]

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i258/batmaluco3/89_BATMAN-14.jpg

Look at him - does he need to hang bad guys upside down and scream in their faces? No. They're scared already just looking at him.

[Sandman138]

Well, to be fair, he did hang one off a ledge by his collar. But he never had to scream.

[Kevin Roegele]

Well, to be fair, he did hang one off a ledge by his collar. But he never had to scream.

Exactly. He almost whispered. "I'm not going to kill you. I want you to do me a favour. I want you to tell all your friends about me."

[Whack Arnolds]

No, real criminals would laugh at a 5'8 little man who slowly walks up to you in a Bat-costume....

[Whack Arnolds]

And what is this argument that Flass was scared because Batman was screaming? How do you deduce that? He was shaking before Batman even said anything... Did no one notice the absolute fear in the thugs Scarecrow hired, based purely off rumors of the Batman? Did Batman scream when he said "Here"...and a man with a semi-automatic machine gun pisses his pants, instead of just two minor thugs with credit cards getting scared?

Where do Burton/Keaton nut huggers come up with these stupid counter-arguments that are obviouslly made up, because you feel threatned by Bale's awesome potrayl, that is right there with Keaton's performance. It's pathetic.

[El Payaso]

No, real criminals would laugh at a 5'8 little man who slowly walks up to you in a Bat-costume....

Real criminals would laugh at any guy in a bat costume that have no guns with him.

[Whack Arnolds]

Real criminals would laugh at any guy in a bat costume that have no guns with him.Yeah, if you stroll up to them like Keaton's Batman. Not if you use the shadows, and bounce in and out. People fear most, what they cannot see. Ever see the absolute gripping fear that Virgina Sniper created back in 2003? All because he couldn't be seen. The guy would kill one person at a time, and the odds of getting hit were slim to none, yet the whole city was gripped in fear. People were afraid to get out of their cars to pump gas, or even go get groceries. You could do the same as vigilante if you played your cards right, and weren't a 5'8 weakling who strides up to people.

[theMan-Bat]

Keaton is 5'10" not 5'8". Show us a link anywhere that says he's 5'8".

They were scared because of all they heard about "the Bat". The one guy thought it was a vampire creature and the other guy didn't believe in "the Bat" and then they look and it's right behind them. That freaked them out and aspecially after they shot it and it got up again. And he was in the shadows. The darkness. Darkness is an essential component of Batman. Thugs fear Batman precisely because he's this boogeyman always waiting to strike from the shadows--and it's essential. Because, let's face it, the Bat-suit, Keaton's and Bale's, looks RIDICULOUS in daylight. It's silly-looking. That's why the darkness is essential.

[DocLathropBrown]

Meh, we feel the way we feel, Arnolds. Some people just feel that Keaton was creepier without having to add too much, other than just being Batman. let it be, any boasting of Keaton isn't an attack on Bale, who had a better voice in the game, I feel.

[Whack Arnolds]

Some people just feel that Keaton was creepier without having to add too much, other than just being Batman. let it be, any boasting of Keaton isn't an attack on Bale, who had a better voice in the game, I feel.No, it most certainly wasn't me who started this **** again. I said Keaton looked like a bad ass, then Kevin Rogaine chimed in with "yeah, he doesn't have to shout to be a badass" obviously insinuating and subtely taking a shot, which isn't even true for the reasons I gave a few posts ago. It's a lame excuse used by people who feel threatned by Bale's success under the cowl that is on par with Keaton.

[Whack Arnolds]

I love Keaton, but I'm not going to put up with someone putting down Bale to make themselves and others feel better about Keaton.

[theMan-Bat]

I love Keaton in Batman '89 and Returns and Bale in Begins and Wilson in the Batman '43 serial.

It's amazing how almost 17 years after the movie release, pics are still arising. :up:

[Kevin Roegele]

I like all the different versions of Batman. I even like Clooney's to an extent, because even though the film itself is campy and silly around him, he's a pretty sober centre most of the time.

[KnightBat]

Does anybody have line art of the bat-signal like the ones of the batmobile that where posted awhile back? Thanks in advance.

I have to say Keaton does have some GREAT eyes. When he is wearing that suit there is so much expression just in his eyes alone it's amazing.

Wow. I've never seen that before, thanks.

By the way, was Batman 89 one of the best marketed movies in history or what?

[NolGoyHater]

I remember having a Burger King collecter's cup from the first movie that had one of the drawing of Batman in the first one on it.

B89 had ties with Taco Bell. I have 2 of the B89 Pastic Batman Taco Bell cups. Are you sure it was BK? I know Batman Returns was McDonalds as I have the Catwoman cup. Batman Forever was McDonalds again, but with little glass mugs. I have the Riddler and the question mark on his cane forms the handle. And B&R went back to Taco Bell. And you guessed, it I have the cup as well.

But I know the B89 was huge and wouldn't be surprised if WB had 2 different chains doing B89 that summer. God I wish I had a time machine!!!!

did you know that this game is a sequel to the official Batman (1989) video game?

http://www.nesplayer.com/database/advert/batmanjoker.jpg

[DocLathropBrown]

It's not, not really. It has elements from the film (such as the film's Batwing, Batmobile and other visual cues) but storywise, it is not presented as a sequel.

wikipedia

The game was a sequel to the Batman video game that was based on the 1989 film, but was closer in its format to the comic book version of the famed Caped Crusader, specifically the 1970s incarnations of Batman.

yeah, it's wikipedia. It's a sequel to the game not the movie.

I remember playing that game. It was hard as I recall of course this was back in the Nintendo days when video games were hard. lol.

[DocLathropBrown]

yeah, it's wikipedia. It's a sequel to the game not the movie.

Wikipedia should not be used as evidence. Somebody who also thinks it's a sequel was responsible for that.

You can go and find the manual... the manual (which is to be your taken gospel, since it comes from Sunsoft themselves) makes no mention of the B89 game adaptation as a previous adventure. No prior history is mentioned.

The fact that the game has zero in the way of in-game story progression doesn't help your case, either.

I don't know how I can proof it but the game's working title was Batman 2.
