Batman '89 The Official Batman (1989) Thread - Part 6

[Captain Tired]

Wonder what other deleted scenes are out there that we are yet to see

Has it ever been said that there are any?

Maybe that's because I grew up with Burton's Batman movies, but I still think their imagery on the character is unmatched.
As excited as we've been with the comics accurate suit from Batfleck, Keaton's costume is still so “pure”. No unnecessary florishes, it just goes straight to the iconic features. And this also extends to the batcave and the batmobile.
Add on top of that a good eye for composition and lighting, and you've got iconic, timeless shots like this one above and countless others...

Yeah I don't think I'm biaised, it's just really, really good.

Yep... the Burton movies still haven't been topped in terms of visuals. I really thought Snyder would have managed it, but no luck.

And capped off by a great and understated performance from Keaton. That somewhat weary tone of delivery and the direct, succinct manner of speaking in that moment, etc. I've always loved how Batman just gets straight into the infodump, with no preamble or build-up to it. One of my favourite scenes in the whole film.

They need to make this an actual game. Incredible.

 

[Captain Tired]

Reminds you of just how beautiful and immersive Furst's Gotham felt. That guy should be making films set in the years between Returns and Flashpoint.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Oh my lord... imagine immersing yourself in the game world of Batman '89. If only...

 

[Mani-Man]

Oh man, that is incredible well done...looking super cool.
The Level of detail is insane.

This is damn gorgeous

 

[Matt.S99]

I’m not a video game guy at all, but I would honestly but a console just for that game hahaha. absolutely stunning!

 

[Doctor Jones]

That is incredible. With that Batman 89 comic coming, and something like this, I'd love to see a continuation of the Burton films in some form. There's just so much you can do. A video game would be great because you can bring in elements from BR too like they did in places in that demo in an organic way to Furst's Gotham.

I’m not even a gamer and I would buy a system/console/whatever the **** just for a B89 game.

In fact, I’m still waiting for McFarlane to get off his ass and do Burton figures.

This is my hope now that Batman 89 is indeed coming back to the big screen. There's already been decent amount of merchandise over the past several years. But now with a movie to push his return, we could get more.

I just hope whatever new toys comes out, it will spawn vehicles. I need the Batmobile and Batwing to go with my 1989 Batman. It's so wrong to have one and not the other.

I think I would buy a Batman '89 action figure.

You can right now. There's the SH FiguArts Batman 89 still readily available.

I mean like a cheap opposable action figure like you'd get to promote the film. I don't need any flashy sculpted monument lol.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Goddamn this is incredible. Looks like a big budget production. And how the designs still hold up.

And without action it feels like a detective game, where you need to navigate the streets, observe, look for clues... Feeling desperate that this will probably never happen.

 

[PepS]

Wow! That video game demo is amazing. A free-roaming Burton Batverse inspired video game would be a great way to expand the world and also, in a way, give us a Batman 3 and conclusion to Burton's Batman.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Sadly, WB probably thinks such a project would be too niche.

 

[DocLathropBrown]

Sadly, WB probably thinks such a project would be too niche.

Even though BATMAN is my favorite film of all time--I can admit that yes, it is too niche.

Would it sell some? Yeah, it's Batman. Batman sells. But there's not enough specialized interest in the mainstream for this particular take on the character anymore to move that kind of merchandise to justify development costs. An '89 throwback mode in another Batman game? That'd work well enough.

This? I don't need a game version of it. I'm not so married to the film that I require a game adaptation of it in the modern era (but if one happened I wouldn't say "no"). What I would enjoy most of all about this is roaming the film locations and taking it all in. It's the closest I could ever be to walking on those sets, and just taking in the look and the atmosphere while listening to Elfman's score is all I would need. I think the desire to make it into an actual game will only slow development of the rest of the sets, and fan projects are rarely finished anyway.

Just construct the locations from the movie and let me roam it. Then I can die a happy man!

Composer Danny Elfman "terribly unhappy" with his 'Batman' score dub

“I was terribly unhappy with the dub in Batman,” Elfman explained. “They did it in the old-school way where you do the score and turn it into the ‘professionals’ who turn the nobs and dub it in. And dubbing had gotten really wonky in those years.

“We recorded [multi-channel recording on] three channels — right, centre, left, — and basically, they took the centre channel out of the music completely.”

He continued: “It didn’t have any care put into it. I’ve had many scores play in big action scenes that really propelled the scene. And at the end of the [Batman] dub, I realized I could have had the orchestra play anything.

“I could have scored the film with some percussion, a harmonica and a banjo because all you hear are some percussion hits in big moments, but you can’t really hear what the orchestra is doing.”

The composer shared his disappointment with “so-called professionals” who used his score “in a very non-committal way”, in which they “plunk it off to the side and just get the dialogue.”

Would be interesting to hear the original version.

 

[BrollySupersj]

WB is striking down all videos that show the 89 Batman game. ****ing **** *******s. They must burn.

 

[Matt.S99]

Really?! That’s so disappointing

 

[Galactus123]

Lol Warner got it removed. It had over 200 000 views. Good that there are other uploads:
