Batman (1989) ft. Terry Bartley and Adam Freed

Dana and Tom welcome back guest, Terry Bartley (Author (https://www.terrybartleywriter.com/) and Host (Most Writers are Fans podcast)), and new guest, Adam Freed (Managing Editor and Senior Film Critic at (MovieArcher.com)), to discuss the seminal comic book film, Batman (1989): directed by Tim Burton, written by Sam Hamm and Walter Skaaren, music by Danny Elfman, starring Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton, Kim Basinger, and Billy Dee Williams.Plot Summary: In Tim Burton's "Batman," we are plunged into a dark, brooding Gotham City where crime festers in the shadows and hope seems a distant dream. The film opens with a scene that establishes the city’s grim atmosphere, a place where danger lurks around every corner. Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton), the reclusive billionaire, conceals a dual identity as the masked vigilante, Batman, striving to bring order to the chaos."Batman" is a triumph of style over substance, a visual feast that captures the essence of the Dark Knight. It is a film where the atmosphere and aesthetic take precedence, creating an unforgettable experience that redefined the superhero genre. Batman may be a figure shrouded in darkness, but Burton’s film sheds a new light on the mythology of the caped crusader.Chapters:00:00 Welcome and a New Guest07:48 Cast and Recognition for Batman (1989)12:47 Relationship(s) to the Film31:06 What is Batman (1989) about?36:41 Why does Batman seem to be more popular and relatable than other "superheroes"?41:28 Is Batman (1989) responsible for the Superhero Boom?47:21 Plot Summary48:30 Did You Know?52:14 First Break53:00 Where to Find our Guests Work...57:22 Ask Dana Anything - Follow-Up59:22 Best Performance(s)01:13:05 Best/Favorite/Indelible Scene(s)01:26:16 Second Break01:27:12 In Memoriam01:28:10 Best/Funniest Lines01:30:03 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:39:20 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:50:35 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:55:18 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness02:01:26 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability02:07:50 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Total Score02:09:13 Remaining Questions for Batman (1989)02:25:43 Guest Thank You(s)02:27:56 Closing and CreditsYou can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast) or find our Facebook page at Greatest Movie of All-Time Podcast.For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com//post/batman-1989-ft-terry-bartley-and-adam-freedFor the entire rankings list so far, go to:Full Graded List - Greatest Movies of All-Time Ronny Duncan Studios Keywords: Batman, film, Tim Burton, generational ownership, cultural impact, box office success, Tim Burton, Batman, Joker, relatability, duality, societal context, superhero genre, Jack Nicholson, Danny Elfman, Batman, 1989, scenes, lines, performances, depth, theme song, Kim Basinger, Vicky Vale, script, Tim Burton, direction, pacing, camera work, Best Scene, indelible moments, legacy, film, Batman, impact, significance, legacy, originality, execution, classicness, rewatchability, audience score, Batman, ranking, films, Joker, Kim Basinger, actresses, Hollywood, Batmobile,...
