Country of origin: USA
Notes:
I can still remember the buzz about this movie. In the days before trailers on the internet this was the first film that got people so excited to see things about the movie that they would buy tickets for other films just to see the Batman trailer and then leave the cinema after 5mins. I can remember seeing this in the theatre as if it was yesterday. Everything about it was cool. Tim Burton’s style, Jack Nicholson, the bat logo, the batmobile, and of course Prince’s amazing soundtrack. It was one movie where I rushed out the very next day to buy the soundtrack. To be honest it probably isn’t a particularly true Batman movie but it was just a cool cinematic experience and a very memorable 80s film.

Just found this site, looks right up my street :)
Recently I was trying to describe the original Batman Movie (1989 version of course, it’s my era)
to my 9 year old son. I went looking for and was lucky enough to pick this up on DVD for 75p at a local used game/dvd store.
He hugely enjoyed this version, and now shares my opinion that Michael Keaton is the best of the “modern” Batman actors.

That’s fantastic. It’s great when not only can you rewatch things from your era with your kids but also when the movies still hold up and the children enjoy them! Hope you enjoy looking round the rest of the site.

[…] True, Sunsoft’s 1990 NES classic Batman might not look like a licensed game from the outside. In fact, several notable Batman characters do appear in the game – Electrocutioner, Firebug, and the Joker, among others – but they’re not hugely recognisable. What you do get with Batman is a tight, tense, and focused platformer with pin-sharp mechanics and a ludicrously high difficulty level. You may not complete Batman, but you’ll have a whale of a time trying to. Almost as good a time as watching the ’89 Batman movie. […]
