Re: Michael Keaton as Batman

I'm good pals with Kieron Dwyer, the artist who did the comic work in the credits. In my case it's not so much having to buy Sky High as having to buy ANOTHER copy, as we're wearing this one out.

i love you, Larry - it takes a lot to wear out a dvd.

So here are the first two trailers for Tim Burton's Batman - For those of you too young to remember - the first trailer was RUSHED into theaters before people knew what hit them - I can remember people waiting, hoping like hell the trailer would play (the days before you can look them up online) and if this thing came on - you couldn't even hear the dialogue because of the cheers. And this was in Houston, mind you - i know here in LA and sometimes in NY audiences are more involved - but I'd never seen anything like this my 18yrs on the planet. It was an EVENT. Episode 1 and the reaction the trailers got are on the same level as this was.

When the names unfold at the end - people would go NUTS

I bought a ticket to the Kevin Kline yawner JANUARY MAN because it was showing the Batman trailer. :$

Did you stay to watch the movie??

i remember seeing Batman and they showed the trailer for Ghostbusters 2 and we were all freaking out.

Then we saw GB2 and they showed the trailer for Lethal Weapon 2 and we freaked out for that.

If i remember right, Last Crusade came out before all of them and we saw the trailer for Batman before it - you can imagine the crowd in there.

I did; five bucks was a lot of money for me back then.

of all the Batman movies, i think this one was actually misnamed.
Should have been named JOKER due to Jack's screen time.

This movie was HUGE for me when I was a kid.
still is a great one

With the exception of Batman Begins, I think all the Batman movies were about the villains, rather than Batman.

That's also Val Kilmer's "official" reason as to why he didn't want to come back to the role.

Well Val can come back...AS FATMAN!!!
