James Gunn isnt a fan of Batman 89

[Crayola Coyote]

Batman returns was my favorite one just cause as a kid when it came on tv my folks told me to go to bed so it was one of those movies I was eager to see when I got a little older

Both Burton Batman films > Guardians of the Trash trilogy and Basura Squad

Batman '89 is a great movie, and still the best Batman movie. The movie is so trash that everything from the beloved '92 series was ripped from it.

And both the score and Prince soundtrack are great. I have both, on vinyl. I actually played the soundtrack a couple of weeks ago, because I wanted to listen to Scandalous.

Mfer wouldn’t have said that shyt bout Prince if Prince was still alive

Way to put pressure on yourself. The Batman 89 movie wasn't perfect BUT the influence it had on the Batman Universe was astronomical.

People shyt in the Prince soundtrack at the time but upon letting it breathe and with time if anything it was ahead if it's time.

What's funny when people say "it's not true to the source material" blah blah...is the fact that the actual creator of Batman was behind the scenes during the making of this film and loved how his vision was brought to life. Ain't shyt else matters when you can get a creator's cosign.

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.

James Gunn. Didn't know you post on the coli.

Even from a strictly technical standpoint, Batman '89 was a great film:

Great acting
Great cinematography
Great score
Great art direction (Burton's use of lights and shadows was dope)
Good pacing
Good story
Good effects

Undeniable classic.

Exactly. Everyone played it straight, which led to great performances. The story was kept simple, and Burton knows how to frame a scene. Damn near every scene could be a poster. And he gave Gotham life. The atmosphere of Gotham was better in Returns, but '89 laid the foundation. Gotham was a complete shythole with quite many wealthy folk.

His tenure at DC so far has been trash.

Without that marvel pack in his back, he looking a little funny in the light

 

[Soylent Greenz]

In his defense,I thought Batman Begins was rather ass as well.

 

[NZA]

only thing from gunn ive ever watched is the dawn of the dead remake and that shyt was just ok. not fukking with the original at all and not good enough for his opinion on tim burton's work to mean shyt.

The Future, Electric Chair, Vicki Waiting and Scandalous are amongst my all-time favorite Prince songs.
