@dancingrobotpictures Sort of odd that Adam West went from one of most famous superheros ever, to being a gag character in “Family Guy”.
@KRATOSRETURNSv2 BATMAN FOREVER WAS AWESOME!
bill finger is the true creator of batman. bob kane just drew the design and came up with the name. bill finger created the concept, the world, the characters, etc.
Batman The Animated Series FTW

I’m actually kind of pissed off that AVGN hasn’t reviewed Eraserhead! That would make a great review, and it’s a great movie.
i didnt like Batman 1989 just didnt like it! and i liked batman forever and dark knight and begins
@AntonyBlalock i care along with many people as they are all great
Batman (1989) and The Dark Knight: great
everything else: who cares?
he needs to review all the animated movies. All together they’re 4 and a half out of 5.
Adam West is the REAL Batman! No stupid voice or plastic 6pack..
So in the future, his ghost writers should be getting all the credit for making batman what he is today, as they invented all his supporting cast and unique attributes. While Bob threw in his two cents, it was mostly his ghost writers who wrote the stories, drew & inked & lettered the panels, and invented snazzy new concepts. Case in point being that Jerry Robinson for example is still around. His autograph should be worth more than Kane’s now as he invented Joker & Bill designed the look.
Now what Bob Kane didn’t figure is that comic book afficianados of the future would uncover these truths, and while it’s true taking sole credit is nothing new, it is damning when an entire series’ creation is leeched from other works, and when the badasses who invented all the unique stuff get zero official credit for it while the liar who only put 2 & 2 together got everything. By lying about his inspirations, he ensured sole credit and evaded these accusations for decades abd banked heavily.
So while batman I agree is my favorite, his alleged sole creator is more of a hack who just wanted to get rich. He did afterall leave the comic in 1943, and only went on to do the newspaper strip which he claimed 90% of which was his own work. Backchecks on employee records proved he lied about that too, leaving most if not all to his ghost writers, yet taking all the credit and biggest paychecks, leaving his loyal team of geniuses with nothing. Not even any official recognition from DC. Jerk.
He combined the shadow & phantom ideas with the shadow story to get batman, then plagiarized artwork & plots, and lied about his true inspiration to appear unique and legit, conning his team out of rightful money, and taking sole credit for inventing a character he leeched to the nth degree, whereas all the cool unique things about the batman stories were made by his ghost writers, like Dick Sprang, Bill Finger, and Jerry Robinson to name a few.
Bob’s last claim for inspiration was Da Vinci’s flying machine. Yet in his own autobiography, it was clear he falsified the date he drew his version of it, as he drew it after the batman comics were in full swing. Lastly, “The Shadow” story “Partners in Peril” has the same plot as Batman’s first story, yet precedes it. Furthermore, there are 7 references to bats in it.
Zorro was another alleged inspiration, but he was nothing like the batman character. But it worked for Bob since there was no comic book. In actuality, “The Shadow” & “The Phantom” were his inspirations for batman’s style from the former, and origin from the latter. He then traced and recolored panels from those comics to make his early batman work, despite that his ghost writers invented the rogues gallery, and made the only original comics which didn’t leech anything. Bob took sole credit.
Furthermore, the batsignal you’re referring to was a moth which hits a headlight, hence why it moved. And the bat only wore the mask for 5 minutes or so in the film. Bob said the bat whispers (the remake) was his inspiration, yet there are no bat signals or literal bat costumes in sight. Theater records prove the 1926 film “The Bat” didn’t rerun in the early 30s when Bob claimed he got his idea. Hence, he lied betting no one would check him, and thus severed ties to his actual inspiration.
McDonald’s didn’t pull their Happy Meal toys in Canada – I still have my plastic canopy-ejecting Batmobile (like the one in the movie).
48 people don’t have any Joker Dollars.
aww the days when Nicole kidman was actually attractive.
I hate Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, and Batman and Robin. But then again I am VERY critical about movies.
me also being a sick bastard i love batman returns…the penguin used to scare the shit out of me when i was a kid and saw it on tv the first time :D
yea michael keaton was the reason they all sucked after the first 2… why they decided to switch actors is beyond me, its what ruined the movies.. except for the last one *the dark knight* only reason that one kicked ass was cuz of the joker..
Jim Carrey FTW
I have to say Nicole Kidman was hot in this movie.
In my opinion each time i see Batman Returns it gets better, its Batman forever that gets worst with time.
riddler is a weird
Oh yeah. I love Batman Returns. Second favorite Batman movie after The Dark Knight. Very nostalgic for me.
to this day i hate michael keaton as bruce wayne. his batman was amazing though
10:40 “The infamous Bat-Ass shot… But let’s not get into that.”
Nice wording James.
1:40….is that REALLY….i mean REALLY his natural smile?….cant be…
…
where the 1st part?
Batman Returns is one of my favorite Batman Film, it’s Dark, it’s Bloody, it’s Awesome.
Joker as the killer of Thomas/Martha Wayne ruins what Batman stands for. He isn’t out for revenge, he’s out for justice, and it’s also very cliche. So the entire last act is bullshit and it’s not a batman movie anymore, it’s a straight up revenge flick. If I want a revenge movie, I’d watch The Punisher not Batman.
Batman Returns got more money than the first but god it had some memorable lines in it: MY BABIESS!!!!! lol
Batman Forever nice movie
Val Kilmer a regular Bat-ass!!! oh yeah!!!
Props To James for putting this all together.. He definitely did his research…
I give it 5 bat asses..
I didn’t like the first tim burton movie. I mean the action was great,,m jack nicholson was fantastic and keatons bruce wayne was great. I also like how this batman was more like his origanal design, whith the killing of crimanals But the plot was hard to get a hand off, viki vale annoyed me, the romance was to me horrible and, while I liked his bruce wayne, keatons batman was kinda of boring.
Mabye it’s because I saw nolans movies first, but burtons movie just didn’t appeal to me.
Tim Burton’s batman movies are awesome, but i’m glad he doesn’t make the new ones.
I can’t see Johny Depp as batman
4:06 when the bat-wing is in front of the moon, dosent that remind you of the bat symbol for the movie
@ImmortalfireTheMod
That’s fair to say about Carrey as Riddler, butg you could say the exact same thing about Nicholson as The Joker. But the thing is this: both were natural fits for their roles
