It wasn't trash....it was Batman straight out of the comic Tim Burton style...and it did well

If you even just consider Batman ‘89 as a Tim Burton take on the universe alone, which it is just that, it’s classic.

You’d have to not appreciate Tim Burton to feel like this Batman wasn’t good.

You could make other arguments about story development, costumes, casting, etc. whatever else you wanted and I’d say that’s fair if you wanted to draw the film closer to source material.

None of that takes away from the overall style of Tim Burton and his interpretation though. I’d say, because of that, it could be considered more pop cult classic, not campy.

As a Batman stan, I mostly agree:yeshrug:
He dead wrong about the OST through.

Its a bad Batman movie. There arguably hasn't been a good live action Batman flick....just variations of "better". There are major problems with all of them. We've never had "Superman 78" for Batman.

Watching 89 as a grown ass man. That shyt is kind of trash lol

Hey I thought space Jam was the greatest movie ever til I watched it as a 30 year old. shyt is literally one of the worst movies I ever saw lol
I watched Batman a week ago, and I totally disagree. Can admit that him shooting and blowing people up with the batmobile and batwing is unBatman-like, though :russ:

But I still enjoy the movie as much as I did when I first saw it. And then when you consider the monumental leap from the last time Batman was on the screen before it....come on, undeniable classic

Batman Forever is trash
Batman and Robin is one of the worst movies ever.

But shytting on Batman 89 is illogical. He has some personal vendetta on that film or something.

All i got to say is now that he's in charge of the DCEU he has to make a better batman BETTER than all the other versions that exist or STFU...:heh: that's alot of pressure on his shoulders...maybe he should focus on the superman movie FIRST and pleasing the fans...

I feel like Gunn's vision is a reflection of mine. Batman 89' was unintentionally good. Returns was significantly better.

Batman begins was trash. The dark knight was only good because of Heath Ledgers legendary performance.

Also, I have not watched 1 Gunn movie that I loathed. GoTG is the 2nd best trilogy in the MCU behind Steve Rogers Captain America.

Basically he needs to stay away from Batman. I'm no big superhero movie fan and even to me that Nolan trilogy was outstanding to say the least. And he even hates those?

That's like shytting on Casino Royale 2006, that made James Bond series great again, and saying oh yeah hold my beer I can do it better.

James Gunn is half a hack, half a good film maker with pedo comments in his past and frat boy tendencies in his films so he needs to settle down
