The Official Batman (1989) Thread - Part 5

[Sawyer]

Have any modern comic book artists done any B89-inspired stuff? Because with comics like Batman '66/Smallville/Wonder Woman '77 that carry on continuities from another medium, AND with stuff like Multiversity Too that will do stories set in all corners of the Multiverse, it would be pretty awesome for a GN/ongoing comic set in Burton's Gotham.

^ Burton's Batman, Donner's Superman, failed attempts... I want it all.

Honestly I would take that too, maybe one day.

Had this for 20 years

I also would like this. I always enjoy seeing little influences in style and design from the Burtonverse: it is particularly notable in the Timmverse and the Legoverse. Danny Elfmann's score is obviously key; I doubt it will ever be completely ousted as the default music of Batman.

Verse, verse, verse.

Quick question, I know a few members here bought Batman 89 emblem shirts from a place called Kurt's Shirts, I did. Apparently the site is defunct, but the designer of the shirts has a new website.

This place: http://www.redbubble.com/people/jlu...ody_color=black&size=xxl&print_location=front

Same design as mine, but not sure if it's done by the same person. Has anyone ever ordered this shirt from this website? I'm in the market for another since mine is fading.

^ I had the Kurt's Shirt one too. Fantastic shirt and the logo was very clean. From the image in the link you provided, it doesn't look nearly as nice as the original KS version. I'm tempted, though...

 

[BrollySupersj]

Going by the picture, it looks like it'd be a 3D rubber piece or something. Not into that. There's a review section, but not for that specific shirt! Frustrating...

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Does anyone here know what the first official image of Keaton as Batman was?

Or was the teaser the first glimpse in general?

 

[Rodrigo90]

Oh, that's a tricky dicky...

 

[I Am The Knight]

I think it was the one with the Batmobile.

[Indy Flash]

Classic.

Oh man, I wish I could remember. Though I do remember this image below vividly because I not only had a poster of it, but it was also on a folder that I used at school

BATMANTM'S WEAPON

Love that

 

[regwec]

I remember that, when I was very small, I wrote a story for school in which I TM'd the name of every character I had invented. I think I must have picked up the idea from action figure boxes.

 

[Naked Shia]

did you sell the rights of your characters, or are they free domain?

 

[regwec]

If anyone wants to make a movie about Count Hermann the Vampire Scientist, they are free to do so in return for a small donation to charity.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Well, after writing a pretty disturbing scene involving Joker taking Harleen Quinzel (not Harley Quinn) to an abandoned mental institution where the sane are locked away like the insane, and the insane (which consist of just a few deformed sideshow carnival freaks) are roaming around dressed as doctors, nurses and orderlies, and having some pretty intense nightmares because of it, I think I could do that, Reg...Because the first thing I thought of when I woke up was
"Why were cannibals eating Jon Snow from GOT? and Damn! I'd be a good director with those camera angles I had"

And I'll be putting up that Joker/Harley scene in my writing thread, if anybody wants to read it later on

Here's the same pic in hi-res (never seen it look this good before, so it's currently my desktop background)

Such an awesome pic. Keaton nailed every shot to make them look iconic.

I noticed one of the thugs in the beginning talks about the American Express card and said to never leave the house without it. In Batman & Robin, Batman reveals the batcard and says to never leave the cave without it. I think it could’ve been an allusion to the first film in some way.

 

[regwec]

Almost certainly. It helped the audience to remember the earlier film, and wish they were watching it instead.

haha, I'm guessing Warner Communications owned a heavy chunk of Amex. We call that a "shameless plug."

The sad part about living in a foreign country was that we got everything from TV to movies many months later than the U.S., for example I was living in Ecuador in 1989 and we first got a glimpse of the Batman trailer the same week it was having its U.S. premier.

That's how it was in those pre-internet days and of course the hype build up had carried over to South America and people that had never picked up a Batman comic (of which were few available) had Bat-mania in them.
