So this is where the modern Batman Begins

I like the movie, even if it might be dated and I might even like the first two Batman movies better then the current moives

I would say godd review overall.

I won't pay full price. I'll get it later on.

This woll be something I get later on as well. I actually really liked Keaton in this role. He seems to be out of place which is exactly what Bruce Wayne is when hes not wearing the cape. I actually just saw a movie preview with an old looking Keaton and remeber thinking he would perefctly fit the role again if they ever did a movie based on a aged Batman.

this movie is a lot of fun.
It remains THE Batman movie to me, although I like the newer ones also.
when this movie came out Kim Basinger was on top of Hollywood as the "hot" girl everyone wanted to be with.
I always liked her.
especially in LA Confidential.

i have the uk version of this, i love this movie

[BostonMA]

i've already been enjoying this for the past few months with the uk import

probably my third favorite superhero movie behind the tying BB and TDK, watched this so many times as a kid and will always remain a true classic.

I've been enjoying the import as well. Plus I like the import case better as well.

I've had Batman & Batman Returns in & out of my Amazon.uk cart probably a dozen times since its release. Gonna have to actually buy them someday...

This Batman movie is something of nostalgia for me. It was 1989, I was 15 years old, working at the local 16 screen theater. I think I was first in line too for that opening Friday. I had the day off, got in line early, my ticket stub said 000001 on it too LOL. Anyways, this was a good film at the time, but compared with the 2 latest Batman movies, it's a little tough going back to this one. Like others, I will probably buy later on and at a reduced price.

I recently watched this on netflix stream... Honestly I disagree with the movie review completely! Batman still works very well for me, Nicholson's joker is still strong, if not quite Heath Ledgers.

[Arkadin]

again I don't get the reason people always want to compare these to the "newer" ones.
It was a different era, and you have a different sort of film.
you can actually like both. shhhhhhhhhhhhh
I think it is awesome, and I think TDK is pretty cool also.
(except that it was one movie that should have been two)

[Onslaught X]

I don't think I can ever bring myself to give this movie below an 8/10. The Joker has been outshined by the new one, the movie comes off as hammy, the choreography is laughable yet this is the movie of my childhood.

[horrorbusiness]

Now just bring us a Batman Returns individual release and I'm in!

I totally agree, I remember seeing this when it came out and was blown away by it but after seeing the modern ones I am sure it will feel very dated. If the price is right, I will eventually pick it up.
