I remember those!

Watching Batman on CBS was a must, not only for when Batman Returns debuted in-theater, but also shortly after Batman Forever’s theatrical release as well.

SN: CBS’s presentation of Batman during June of '95 was better, since they included interviews and BTS segments about Batman Forever during the commercial breaks.

Love it! All of his artwork for the B-Man Returns promo was just so fantastic.

Ironically I avoid McDconalds like how Green Lantern avoids yellow pencils.

:thinking: Wonder if I should use this thread to dissect every scene and analysis it by watching and writing about the movie, :thinking:
Nah! Where’s the fun in that, Siskel & Ebert does that to every movie and never seem to enjoy it!
I give this movie two thumps up, way up!

Let’s talk about this movie, will it be a classic? Why did it need to be so dark and not like the 1966 tv show? And where the heck is Robin?! You cannot have Batman without Robin.
See that’s Siskel and Ebert style, yes it’s a classic, and Batman always have to be dark and not be like the 1966 tv series (Caser Ramero wasn’t a fan of this movie!) And you definitely can have a Batman story without Robin. :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s interesting that both Superman the movie and Batman, the Villains get the opening credit before the heroes in intro theme, Gene Hackman before Christopher Reeve, and Jack Nicholson before Michael Keaton. :slightly_smiling_face:
