The Official Batman (1989) Thread - Part 2

[Spider-Aziz]

I watched the movie again, and aside from these flaws:

• Bob telling the goons to check the wallet of Batman before they say "He's human after all"
• Batman locking on Joker in the Gotham parade but no bullet nor rocket from the Bat-Plane hitting Joker

It's still the best Batman movie, and my favorite movie of all times

Read plenty of fans nitpicking Batman killing Joker at the end, as I watch the scene it seems like Batman didn't want Joker to get away rather than actually killing him as he said he would, Joker being persistent to hang to the ladder is what truly killed him

How is that a flaw?

How is that a flaw?

They thought he was not a human. Do Gargoyles carry wallets?

 

[I Am The Knight]

That was a joke.

 

[GothamAlleys]

Yeah, it was just a slang for saying "take a closer look at him"

I'm not acquainted enough with slang, thanks for the info

Been thinking about Joker's origin here, it would have made one of the goofiest movie villains origin ever if they incorporated Jack's origin from "The Killing Joke" where he's not so much of a bad guy, and a real good thing they reused this origin in B:TAS

Love Batman not having an origin story in this movie, of all the Batman comics I read up until Jan 1990, nothing had a respectable reason to have him choose bat as his symbol, a bat flying by the window is too corny, this is another thing B:TAS did right with "Mask of the Phantasm", at least before the release of "Batman Begins" it was the only good reason to choose bats for a symbol

The "check his wallet" line cracks me the **** up. Was that suppose to be serious or comedic? Because either way, I always laugh at it.

The only flaw with B89 is that it wasn't a thousand hours long.

That's a movie, not Final Fantasy

I always laugh at that too.

Joker's one shot to the Batplane making it crash.

 

[Ponyboy]

Everyone forgets how small the Batplane really was... it fit inbetween the city buildings. Also that gun the Joker had was clearly modified, it practically explodes when he fires it... so it was definitely some kind of heavy round, not just a 22 caliber or something.

 

[Mister Meddle]

Could've been an explosive shell.

 

[GothamAlleys]

It was. It explodes with the impact. The comic adaptation explains it clearer

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Great stills Meddle!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Who's with Jack in the last picture?

 

[Mister Meddle]

That's Tim Burton.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

He kinda looks like Nicholas Cage

[Spider-Aziz]

I remember this picture after the arcade game ends

 

[Doctor Jones]

Keaton looking like a boss as usual.

 

[BrollySupersj]

The whole "check his wallet" line seems funny to because it's something a low-life thug like Bob would say.
