Batman (1989)

It can’t be overstated how much of a pop culture phenomenon Tim Burton’s 1989 “Batman” movie was. People were losing their bat-obsessed mind. The skepticism of the Michael Keaton casting quickly fell off. Jack Nicholson entrenched himself as a cinema icon. Airbrush T-shirt shops were popping up in strip malls hocking any article of clothing with the Batman logo on it. We couldn’t get enough. Unless you were my grandmother who, very quickly, had enough. We’re doing the Tim Burton Batman movies for week two of our ADOLESCENT POWER FANTASY theme this month so let’s reflect on the superhero movie that showed movie studios that perhaps there was something to this spandexed intellectual property. Hear us tell you all about it all over again.
