ABC Family's Batman Triple Feature

[Catman]

No one is gonna watch this since it's, well, Halloween. Plus, most of us have it on DVD. Still...I think it's interesting information. I was flipping through channels like 3-5 minutes ago and I see a commerical on ABC Family where they're advertising that today, starting at 4pm, they're gonna air a Batman triple feature which includes Batman, Batman Returns, and Batman Forever.

To begin with, what does Batman have to do with Halloween? Secondly, why did it take so long for a TV channel to do something like this. And, isn't amusing how Batman & Robin was excluded? lol.

I was going to point out that exactly.

Maybe they don't have the broadcast rights to B&R just yet. And batman has lots to do with halloween. think of the numerous costumed bodies out there inspired by batman. Plus its family fare as opposed to the standard horror films.

Or maybe they didn't want it.

It's rather odd that Batman Returns would be airing on ABC Family in the first place. The biggest knock that Tim Burton and company received for that movie was that it wasn't kid friendly enough.

It's basic cable television, TMC1982. They probably cut out or trimmed all the scenes that went to far.

They did. I caught some of it in TV last night.

Nobody bothers to mention that Batman Returns is a Christmas movie? Just because one of Burton's films bridged the gap between Halloween and Christmas* doesn't mean that all of his movies can or should.



*otherwise known as "school with a kinda vacation for Thanksgiving, but it doesn't really count, 'cause you've always got more homework and your family came by and they're annoying".

Some of it, but they did show Penguin bloody with the gross black stuff oozing out of his mouth....for the children of course.

Batman Returns is a mix of Halloween elements with Christmas. Batman Returns has Halloween-esque costumes, characters and architecture during the Christmas season.

Well, it was Halloween!

Hence Why they cut Batman & Robin from the marathon

You'd be surprised what ABC Family has shown in the past.

Batman & Robin went way too far.

Batman & Robin went way too far.

Without it, we wouldn't have Nolan's films.

 

[Fresh Prince]

Batman & Robin could atleast been like Batman Brave & The Bold.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

Batman Forever ends with Halloween.

Batman dresses like a Bat to strike fear into the hearts of criminal. "'Nuff said."

Even funnier IMO is the over the top reactions from the hardcore Batman fans to this promo. They're foaming at the mouth with anger over it. Priceless.
