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

I thought Winkler was stanning Keaton’s Batman, but alas… this was about Springsteen.

Oddly enough Winkler was at the original premiere. There’s a video on YouTube where he gets interviewed coming out of the theatre. He’s at 1:22.

And of course, they'd already worked together in Night Shift.

“Oh boy, I hope that’s not too expensive.” - me, knowing full well it’ll be hundreds of dollars

I know nobody cares about the Batman '89: Echoes miniseries but the delays are ridiculous. The thing started back in November and issue 3 still has not released yet.

Let's hope the Batman: Resurrection novel gets a better reception this fall.

Yeah, it's absurd and makes it unpleasant to read with such long breaks. They should have waited and just released it as a graphic novel once all issues were complete. Would likely have sold better, too.

I care a lot about it, it has potential.
But the Delays are really what is killing any buzz.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Yeah, I'm thinking of just holding off for the graphic novel collection now. Much less frustrating.

It’s more due to my lack of easy access to single issues (all the comic shops in my area are a thing of the past), but it’s this kind of stuff that makes me glad I trade-wait.

Happy 35th, y’all!

Jesus Christ, I just realized that the kid who played Bruce in that flashback is probably in his forties now.

Keaton was only 37 when this one dropped.

 

[blueharvest]

He's 45 now.

Batman: Resurrection

After The Joker’s death, Batman and Gotham City face a mysterious new threat in this direct sequel to Tim Burton’s iconic Batman.

The Joker is dead, but not forgotten. Gotham City is saved, but it is still not safe. By night, its new symbol of hope, Batman, continues his fight to protect the innocent and the powerless. By day, his alter ego, Bruce Wayne, wonders whether there may someday be a future beyond skulking the city’s rooftops or the cavernous halls of his stately manor alongside the ever-dutiful Alfred Pennyworth.

But even after death, the Clown Prince of Crime’s imprint can be seen in more than just the pavement. Remnants from The Joker’s gang are leading wannabes fascinated by his bizarre mystique on a campaign of arson that threatens the city—even as it serves greedy opportunists, including millionaire Max Shreck. And survivors of exposure to The Joker’s chemical weapon Smylex continue to crowd Gotham City’s main hospital.

To quell the chaos, Batman needs more than his cape and his well-stocked Utility Belt. Bruce Wayne is forced into action, prompting a partnership with a charismatic scientist to help solve the health crisis. But as he works in both the shadows and the light, Bruce finds himself drawn deeper into Gotham City’s turmoil than ever before, fueling his obsession to save the city—an obsession that has already driven a wedge between him and Vicki Vale. The loyal Alfred, who had hoped Bruce’s efforts as Batman could help him find closure, finds the opposite happening. Nightmares begin to prompt Bruce to ask new questions about the climactic events in the cathedral, and investigations by Commissioner Gordon and reporter Alexander Knox into the arsons only amplify his concerns.

Having told the people of Gotham City that they’d earned a rest from crime, Batman finds the forces of evil growing ever more organized—and orchestrated—by a sinister hand behind the scenes. The World’s Greatest Detective must solve the greatest mystery of all: Could The Joker have somehow survived? And could he still have the last laugh against the people of Gotham City?


Already sounds a lot better and more interesting than the B89 comic series...

Fingers crossed this is the prelude to a Burton wave of figures.

 

[Captain Tired]

I've go my Batman Resurrection book on preorder. Should be fun.

Genuinely never noticed that any songs other than “Partyman” and “Trust” appeared in the film.
