Batman (1989)

"I'm Batman!"

Welcome back to another superheroic, crime-ridden, and dark and mysterious episode of THE FILM SNARKS!!!

With just a few short days away from the highly anticipated release of Matt Reeves’ The Batman, which has been several years in the making now, which we'll be covering next week, so we thought we’d mark the occasion by revisiting a time where the excessiveness of the 1980s were starting to wane, a time where Prince ruled the charts, but most of all, a time when superheroes and comic movies weren’t considered box office slam dunks,

And that is Tim Burton’s Batman, starring Jack Nicholson and Michael Keaton!

Can somebody tell us what kind of a world we live in, where a man dressed up as a *bat* gets all of our press?!

So join us as we head into Gotham City to find out if Batman '89 is an inferior and outdated comic book film with far better Batman films to choose from, or if it still stands triumphant just as Batman himself does in the final shot as one of the best not only Batman films, but comic book films ever!

"Wait'll they get a load of me..."
