with TDK coming this summer, will we see re-showings of Batman 1989 like with Begins?

[Bat Attack]

I know there were some theaters that ran batman 89 and begins back to back in 2005, do you think they'll do it again?

 

[StylishHokie21]

I've never heard of that. I'd pay to watch Batman 89 in the theaters.

 

[Superwoman Prime]

A 'Night of the Bat' would be nice.

 

[RobC]

Agreed, that'd be pretty awsome. Watch all five films before TDK.

I'd pay for it.

 

[Bat Attack]

me too. i really want to experience B89 on the big screen

 

[Damiean Dark]

Me too i was just to young to watch it in 89 and would love to see it on the big screen.

 

[Gotham22]

that would be cool. I never saw Batman 89 or even BR on the big screen.

 

[RobC]

Same with me, BF was the first one I caught, and I was still only like 7/8 when that came out.

BB is probably the first one I truly remember for all it's glory. B+R is a big blur to me, same with BF. I was just too young I think.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

its sucks that most on these boards never got to experience 89 in the theaters, it was one of the best experiences of my life back in 1989. I never heard of any theater showing 89 when BB was released, its def a cool idea though.

Same here.

I was 7 years old upon seeing Batman 1989 in a local movie theater, and still remember it being quite an experience seeing Batman brought to life in such a different, and decidedly darker approach than what I had been, up to that time, used to seeing with Batman (Adam West tv series, SuperPowers cartoon). But it was the film that made me a hardcore fan of not only Batman, but superheroes in general. And I would absolutely love to see that film inparticular once again up there on the silver screen.

BF on the big screen was my turning point. I remember liking TAS whenever I saw it, but when my dad took me to see BF as a surprise, I was hooked. 13 years on and it's still got me!

Interesting. I loved the animated series much more. I still like the third film though. That said I remember liking "Batman" the series as a kid long before I saw any of the films including the sixties one (on TV as it's older than me). I think I'd still like the series but for different reasons now. However I think I'll always love the animated series (which I can't get Volumes 2-4 in my country ).

B89 and the others can be found playing in select theaters across the country at any given time. You just gotta keep your eyes open. There are a lot of theaters that have "retro" nights or older theaters that show nothing but older films.

Just keep your eyes open.

I think I was still too young for TAS before BF, I mean I was 6/7 when TAS came out, all I knew about it was that opening sequences of him on top of the bank.

BF was what hooked me!

It wasn't a criticism. And I was older.

[RobC]

No no, I didn't take it as one I just explaining that TAS was a blur to me, like literally I remember playing at being Batman using the beginning of TAS as my inspiration but it wasn't until BF that I was hooked. Man I had so much merchandise, it's like I had shares in WB!

Oh how have I wished theaters like those would one day be somewhere reasonably local to me.

Me too.

 

[Bat Attack]

I wasn't able to see the Nightmare on Elm Street 2006 re-release, or the Nightmare Before Christmas 2007 3D release. urgh!

 

[RobC]

I didn't even know there was a re-release!

As a University film student I am hideously out of the loop with regards to cinema.
