Summer Blockbuster Month Begins with Tim Burton's Batman (1989)

This week Mike and Steven kick off Summer Blockbuster month with 1989's Batman. This Tim Burton classic had a huge impact on Mike as a kid, and he wasn't alone. The film started a craze of Batmania due to its marketing and merchandising. With Michael Keaton in the title role and Jack Nicholson as The Joker, it became beloved and set the bar for just how big summer blockbusters in the nineties could get. __________________________________________And if you’d like to log as you go you can find everything we discuss this month on our Letterboxd list page here.__________________________________________Still to come during Summer Blockbuster month:7/8: Ghost7/15: BONUS EPISODE: REWATCH AND RETHINK: Class Act7/22: Terminator 27/29 Twisters__________________________________________Send your thoughts on Batman and the show to [email protected] us at @moviethrowdownpod on all your favorite social media platforms.Subscribe to the Weekly Movie Throwdown on Apple Podcasts | Spotify | RSS Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
