Have not seen this film yet. I mean, I probably watched it when I was like four or something but I have zero memories of this film other than someone blowing up.

Gotta say, the Batplane in this movie has a really, really shitty computer system. The thing has flashing lights all over the screen saying "lock on" indicating it's locked onto the joker, yet every bullet it fires misses him. What's the point of "locking on" if the system still misses?
All this tech and it misses, yet the Joker is able to dead-eye a direct hit with a pistol.

Doens't Burtonman have the highest body count of all the film adaptations?
I've tried over and over again to watch Batman films. They're not really watchable in my experience. The last one I tried to watch in the cinema, I walked out in one of the early scenes because it was too comic-booky. More recently I tried watching the first of Nolan's Batman films on DVD, but it was a bit silly and I got bored.
I was about 9 years old during the 1960s TV show. That was the only time I enjoyed Batman. It was gloriously over the top but I just took it seriously and enjoyed it.

One GAF member summed up Keaton Batman best:
HBD GOAT Batman

This reddit topic has Burtonman killing 8 people across two movies: https://www.reddit.com/r/batman/comments/2af5rg/batman_kills_so_many_in_the_burton_films/
Batfleck kills 21 people in Batman vs Superman alone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=GgkQS7q6sT0
The Batplane was too close to hit.
they're guidance seeking missiles, not just bullets. I can understand the bullets missing, but the missiles literally lock on. And immediately preceding that moment, we see the same system successfully hit targets right next to the joker.
It's really great. Halfway between the "realistic grimdark" Batman of today and the total ham Batman of the '60s. It's a great middle ground.

Thing I enjoyed the most about the '60s show was Batgirl's constant face-kicking. Weird fetish of mine. Always wished Barbara Gordon would get in a few shots in her pumps but, alas, it wasn't meant to be.
HBD?

Best batman, best gotham, best batman movie. Love it, warts and all. The imagery stuck with me. Burton's gotham will always be the best live action gotham city as far as I'm concerned.
Well he did blow up that huge Axis Chemicals factory that was definitely not abandoned. I imagine he killed at least a few dozen people there.
There was a story about Kevin Smith claiming Burton stole a story from one of his comics, to which Burton replied:
"Anyone who knows me knows I never read comics."
to which Kevin Smith replied:
"Well, that explains Batman."

Seen it 2 times on the big screen in 89, really impressive at the time. I then bought the official movie sticker album but I barely bought any stickers for it.
Most impressive scene: When he drives through the wood in the night with Basinger on board and all the leaves are flying around, that scene always stuck with me and I have no idea why.

This was always a dumb reveal anyway.
But what's also funny about being able to drop this spoiler is that people have to already be familiar with the characters and general story to even understand why this twist is so substantial. Most movies would be tough to spoil for an audience that hasn't seen it yet in a single sentence like this.
I think Burton considered Batman and Joker to be 2 sides of the same coin.
Batman isn't really portrayed as a hero at all.
The finest of lines between them in this adaptation.
21 is an inflated number. I'd be hard pressed to say that all six car occupants tallied as the first six deaths all died from blunt trauma. Curtain airbags in modern cars can do wonders. Moreover, when the first car falls onto the second one, it falls onto the driver's side and doesn't even crumple the roof. Those two occupants shown in the second car's passenger side shouldn't even have a scratch. Plus that Dodge Durango driver probably survived. Batmobile struck him from the rear passenger side. The others in the clip do look fatal.
