- BATMAN: 1989. Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Kim Basinger, Tim Burton! Often overlooked after Batman Returns weirded everyone out and Batman and Robin made everyone sick, the original 1989 BATMAN movie was less a summer film and more of a massive culture shaking event. 1989 Batmania would have aftershocks well into the 1990s, paving the way for the mainstream image, followed up by the Animated Series, of the Dark Knight. Moody, dark, more like a classic horror movie than the pop art 60s TV show, BATMAN set the tone And provided the template for all the “serious” comic book and super hero movies that followed. And for those of us just becoming aware of the wider world, those 80s and 90s kids who grew up in the BATMAN era, the caped crusader was a daily companion through the TOYS !
From Toy Biz’s original wave of BATMAN movie figures and DC super heroes in summer of 89, to the Kenner Dark Knight Collection that changed the way toy lines were marketed for the next decade, the various plastic Batmobile, Batwing, Batcycles, and Batsuits were staples of the toy box and status symbols among playmates for an entire generation of kids. From water-squirting joker and rope-belt Batman to the multicolor bat variants that packed the shelves of every toy store in the nation and across the world, BATMAN was everywhere. And although he gets short shrift and only meager mention from bloggers, reviewers, and has heretofore been left out of the toys that made us, Batman was every inch the phenomenon that the contemporaneous ninja turtles were or that later kids would find with power rangers and the like. So...
On today's episode of Randomland... Come with me into my own bat cave as I’m finally fulfilling a long series of promises over the years to show you my humble 1989 Batman collection!
And by the way, if you have 1989-1992 Bat items you want to “dispose of” I’m all bat ears 😂 and side note, if you know anyone who worked on these toy lines at Kenner or Toy Biz let me know. I’ve been dying to ask questions for years, and looking for the archived box art for years too! Wouldn’t that be something... a whole room full of replica bat boxes ...

“Where does he get those wonderful toys?”
I was born in 81, so in 89 when this was released, I was just about to turn 8 and we went to go see it. I was so excited, it was on a Sunday and I had school the next day. So being out late on Sunday was something that never happened. I was still playing with the Kenner super powers toys. So untill I got the updated figures I played out the movie with my blue and grey batman, my joker and my blue batmobile. Then a couple of months later I got some of the toybiz figures for my birthday. On Halloween I went as Batman in my very awesome homemade costume. Then come that Christmas I got some ninja turtle stuff, the batmobile and the batwing. And lastly in the stocking was the Batman VHS! I bet I watched that movie 5 times that day.
Thank you for sharing your story and sparking my memory.
Same here! July of 81 so for my 8th bday I saw Batman with my dad who was a pastor. I remember him telling me not to say that when joker called him a gruesome son of a bitch. 🤣
Anton Furst (Production Designer) deserved the Oscar for Batman. The car and Batwing were just amazing in design. The car in the film seemed as if it had a life of its own
Getting a toy which wasn't a birthday or christmas was a HUGE deal for me too, didn't happen often but when it did boy it was magical 👌👍.
This brought a year to my eye. I lost my mother a year later but she took me to see Batman in theatres in 1989
Batman 1989 is the greatest film ever made; I love every second of this movie. I've been obsessed with it since 1990. I love everything and Michael Keaton became a god to me, just like Robert Englund when he portrayed Freddy Krueger
Now we just need to get Michael Keaton to sign all of that.
If his hands don't get tired
the signature would just be a blemish. like drawing a moustache on the mona lisa
I just love your enthusiasm I have never seen the movie so you giving me time capsule back to 1989
To me still 'THE' Batman movie. Awesome Batman, awesome Joker, awesome Batmobile, etc. Great director, great casting for the roles, great cast, etc. Friggin' Awe-some collection JS.
1989 was my first visit to the US and it was all about Batman, I saw the movie in New York just a few days after the release .... It's kind of special for me too.
Where were you from
Wanted to just watch this for a few mins an I ended up watching the whole thing in 1 go! I feel like a little kid again!!
I remember coming home from school and stashed behind an armchair was the toybiz 1989 Batmobile with Batman in the cockpit covered with the Batmobile’s shield. Thanks Mom
We're almost the same age and for me was the same, my parents weren't rich and I never had all the Masters, Ghostbusters, Ninja Turtles or complete collections and I always had to choose one or two 😅 When I had to choose a Batman toy from the 1989 movie toys I chose Bruce Wayne that can turn into Batman! That was cool! Never had the Batmobile but in return my parents bought me an Ecto 1!✌🏻
This was so wholesome. Loved spending this hour diving into this nostalgia.
Same this video was amazing, this is my favorite Batman movie ever.
1989 was a really great year. Batman was out on VHS by Christmas along with the Sega Genesis launch.
This was great! I was a young mom at that time and hunted down those action figures with equal tenacity. You just brought back all these fun “I was a mom in the late ‘80s and ‘90s” memories, so thanks!!!! I honestly think I had just as much fun raising kids in the ‘90s as my kids had being raised in the ‘90s!
Not going to lie. This might be one of my favorite videos. The nostalgia!!!
89 Batman is the best version of Batman. Awesome film, awesome character and vehicle designs, and amazing musical score.
Justin, Oz is my Gotham. I totally get what you're feeling, and I'm 58 years old. Thanks for sharing your impressive collection. I loved every minute!
I never comment on CZcams videos but this is one of the best I’ve ever seen. I was born in 1983 too and my dad finally let me watch this in 1992 before Returns came out when I was out of school with a broken arm. Great memories and what a nostalgia trip. Thanks man!
Wow you stirred my memory. I had the Toy Biz version. My grandma bought it for me at the BX, because K-Mart was sold out... had the Toy Biz Batmobile too!
This was a perfect film for me and must have watched it over a thousand times or more. The movie will never date or die in my opinion
Amazing collection. Will watch this multiple times just to admire it 💯
I was -4 that year, oh how I wish I could go back in time and actually experience 1989 itself
Great video! I got my mom to buy me the VHS from Costco. She let me watch it once and said it was too violent. Then she sold it to one of her co-workers.
Its so weird, I was born in 87 and I remember having batman, the batmobile, Robin and the Joker, but definitely don't remember receiving them like you do
I was 8 or 9 when this came out and let me tell you, the marketing for this movie was next level. I had a significant amount of the trading cards, making-of magazines, Batdance was on the radio in constant rotation, the NES game was blowing up. I never saw any of the toys but fuck me I was hyped for the movie, I already knew almost everything about It. We only had a dilapidated old drive in theatre, and it re-opened and closed again within the perfect window to show Batman at its release (the last movie it showed was Return of the Jedi, for which the poster was up on the ‘Now Showing’ board for most of my childhood). My mum sent me with one of her younger co-workers (who also introduced me to Bill & Ted), we watched it on a massive screen with the sound coming through the car’s FM radio. What an experience.
I was 9 year old when this movie came out, I had some little money to buy the album with plenty of stickers and it was one of the best things in my childhood.
Your nostalgia for the 89 film, I get it. It was everything to my brothers and me. We even ordered the catalogue and that’s where I first saw the Batcave.
Thanks for this video
I vividly remember seeing Batman (1989) in the summer after I graduated high school at Midnight on the day it released (so technically the day before) and being blown away by Jack Nicholson's Joker, and especially by Michael Keaton's Batman. Thanks for this awesome look at your collection of cool memorabilia!
Lol. Good to see someone as nerdy about Batman toys as I was when I was a child. It’s a weird connection...but I’ll take it.
Great collection!!! I was 13 during the summer of 89. One of the greatest summers for movies. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Back to the Future 3, Dead Poets Society, Do the Right Thing and of course the long awaited Batman!!!! Saw it opening day at the 11:30am showing Friday morning!!! Ended up seeing it in the theater about 3 times. Still one of the best Batman films.
You have accomplished my childhood dream.
Thank you so much for letting me go back to those years for a few minutes - this entire video was like walking through treasured memories once more.
(Even had that Halloween bucket from McDonalds that you spoke of. Ha ha.)
If I ever see a Hungarian Batman, I will send him your way. You have my word.
89 was like the best year ever all the greatest movies came out then. I still remember seeing an exclusive preview for Batman 6 months before it came out in June on Entertainment Tonight. The Excitement was loaded and I just couldn't wait Batman was explosive and massive when it came out you could feel it peaking months before. Toys were sold out and you had to wait for an action figure when I finally got mine I got 2. I still have my Batmobile, my Michael Keaton Batman and Joker all from 89. Love the toy catalogs.
I still remember the night my parents surprised me with the ToyBiz Batman play set. They didn't have a lot of money, but they knew that I loved Batman and was absolutely gutted that I was too young to see it in the theaters. I've been gifted a lot of cool stuff in my life, but I think that still takes the cake as the best present/surprise I've ever gotten. Thanks for this trip back to the 80s, Justin.
This was Fabulous! Thanks, Justin!
That was fun! Thanks for sharing your collection!
My aunt got me the VHS for my birthday back in December of '89. I was four. My parents were a little apprehensive to let me watch a PG-13 movie, but knew they'd come off as the bad guys for giving the tape back.
Watched it and was hooked. Owned all the figurines, including Bob the Goon!
I’m dumbfounded by the people who thumbed this down 😆 this is incredible! I was just 4 years old when Batman came out, but I remember the pandemonium lasted for years! I was obsessed with the art on the VHS case and kept it for ages. I think it’s where my obsession for gold/black came from. Those catalogs are giving me some serious nostalgia. Wow! Thank you for sharing!
I feel you, i recently bougbt a Neca batman 1989 figure of the nintendo version Batman. what i love tho is that the box it comes in looks just like the oldschool Batman nes box.
I had all these figures, vehicles and toys. I'd bring back the 80s in a heartbeat if that was possible.
I watched our Batman VHS tape thousands of times but I honestly think I played the Batman soundtrack on cassette tape in my walkman nonstop for at least a year. Prince did an amazing job coming up with fun songs I just loved it so much. Favorite part of the Bat Song was "Stop the press who's that, Vicki Vail" That's quite the sweet collection my friend pretty cool. 🥰👊👍
This movie is a masterpiece in my opinion- it felt epic back then and feels epic to this very day. This film has to be at the top of my list and the only film I've watched hundreds, if not thousands of times. Loved the 1st Blade film too, but this film is gold to me
Well said and I totally agree!
It’s got a ‘timeless’ quality about it - Burton created a modern cinematic masterpiece - a work of art!!
I seriously enjoyed this! Thank you Justin for sharing your 1989 Batman collection with us :D
Love this video. It's great having a story behind your hunt for batman really makes the nostalgia more vivid
Cool video Justin!! Thanks for sharing your Batman Collection. Love your videos.
Best CZcams video ever. I saw BATMAN at age 3, first movie I ever saw in the theater. You captured perfectly the excitement over this movie for us kids. We took this movie SO insanely seriously - it was real to us.
I absolutely love this video! This movie changed my life and is my all time favorite movie.I saw it at the theatre the summer of 89 when I was 4 years old and it blew my mind.This video is a HUGE testament to my childhood.Thank you 🤘🏻
Good video! Made me very nostalgic. I think it is great that you could also share your toys with the younger generation. The "collector" in me wants to preserve everything, but playing with toys is what brings back the magic we felt as kids.
My parents took me to see the movie in the theaters and that year for Christmas I got the bat mobile and Batman. I miss those days.
I love how excited Justin is when he talks 89 Batman! Excellent Collection, so cool!
Justin, this must be one of the coolest and most enthusiastic videos about Batman 1989. I was 12 back then and lucky enough to go to the cinemas with a friend to see it the first time. This movie made a huge impact on me and it's still one of my favorite movies of all time. Great collection you have there.
Thanks for sharing your love for Batman 89 Collections. I too a fan of the movie too!
Yes!! I was waiting for this video. This is awesome! 1989 Batman was very prominent in my young life. Thanks!
I was born in 1990 and this was one of the first movies I can remember watching and instantly obsessed. Had a lot of those toys you showed off. Seriously used to watch this all day everyday as a kid and honestly still watch it at least twice a month and watching it now while watching this video. This was such a great video. Bringing back memories
Man! You showed me how wonderful this film is. I watched already the very first trailer from 1989 without music. And that showed me why people was so hyped. But now, now I see it clearly. Watching you telling this story is the coolest documentary ever
Watched the whole video and I love the stories you give out during it
Can I just tell you that this video totally tugged at my heart strings, Man. Great video. Great explanation of that entire time. I was 11, but very much were you were with Batman. Thanks for this. I yell laughed like 5 times. Lol.
I really enjoyed your story and experience...it was a magical time for movies and toys. I had just graduated from College when this movie came out but I loved ALL of the hype surrounding this movie...loved the toys too which must have inspired my huge collection that would come later. The franchise was so cool. Thanks for sharing....such a cool video bc you clearly had caught the bug like many of us did at the time. I’m still obsessed. Thanks again!!!
Such an awesome trip down memory lane. Thank you
"Why didn't somebody tell me he had one of those... things? Bob.... the gun..."
I enjoyed and appreciated hearing your stories!
Wow! Nostalgic feels. as you went through I went down a checklist of what I had. Batman, the bat wing, the posters, the cereal, the books, the frisbee, the magazines... and yes, the Holo shirt
this is one of the greatest action figure CZcams videos I ever seen !, great job ! the passion makes the magic of this video !!!! I want to see more !!!
Nice thanks for showing this! I collect many toy lines. This one always caught my eyes!
I thoroughly enjoyed this. From your fellow Batman fan, THANK YOU for sharing your awesome collection!
I can't believe I watched all of this video. I usually save comments for the end of the video. But you drug my down memory lane with you and so many memories came back. I think that's why I like collection toys from my childhood. I didn't have many friends, no siblings till I was older. And it's amazing at the memories that I have when I hold or look at my very small collection. Not memories of playing with them necessarily, but other memories, stuff like grandma's house, or doing something with my dad.
Man I been watching this video over the week and I have to say I'm very surprised on how dedicated you are. As a fellow collector myself I love seeing this collection and hearing childhood memories! Very awesome video man!
Your whole story gave me a major nostalgia overload 🤯 I can definitely relate !
Super collection and great video 👍
My favorite episode by far! This episode hit me in the most profound way!!! Batman 89 is very special to me as well, it introduced me to Batman and comics. It was also the last movie my mom,dad,brother, and myself watched in the theater together. Very well made sir, glad you made this. I completely relived my child hood through this! I had the exact same toys as you and I had that disgusting cereal and bank as a child 😆
Not many that can keep me tuned in for an hour, but Justin can pull it off pretty easily. Thanks
love it!!! thank you
I remember the batman bar we could buy in the school tuck shop, it gave you black spit!
I was 16 years old when this thing came out. We went to opening day, stood in line for 6 hours (literally), were first in the theater. Even got interviewed by the local paper. Had magazines that we poured over weeks before the film came out.
Then at Christmas that video tape was what everyone wanted. Had a great night with a gal over the Xmas holidays and we capped it off by watching the videotape.
Your collection is wicked. Love this video. That movie really captured a very specific time in my life that I adored living through. I watch it a couple time a year.
Such a great upload and brought back so many memories from my own childhood. I was 8 years old and visiting my grandparents in NYC when the film hit theaters. I remember the Batman logo and Joker imagery being everywhere I went. I distinctively remember my parents ordering me a Batman figure and driving me up to Toys “R” Us to pick it up when it came in. Also remember driving up to Blockbuster with my dad and picking up a VHS copy of Batman which they had also pre-ordered. I visited my grandparents the summer of 1990 and instead of Batman, it was Warren Beatty‘s Dick Tracy that was everywhere!
Its fun to watch and hear your obsession with Batman. I too loved that movie. It brings back memories of my obsession with Star Wars. I appreciate all your videos, especially on my chemo days. It helps to bring smiles to my face when I feel my worse. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this with us, Justin! Lots of fun to relive the 89 Batman. I'll need to watch it as well this weekend and introduce my 10 year old to it. We'll see what she has to say...
I was just as into the 80's V mini-series & tv series collectibles as you are with Batman. It's great to see you're still so into your collection! I had to let my collection go a few years ago. But I do like the idea you shared about remaking an old collection. Maybe I will do it again in the future. Thanks for the idea.
Great video! Very entertaining.
This video made me a subscriber. You managed to rekindle my memories of getting toys and what were life changing moments in our young lives. Good times!!!
I have the miniature catalog.. they handed them out at the movie theaters that played the Batman movie.. Still have it to this day!! 😄
Awesome video bro!
WOW I love this video so much......I was an 8 year old kid when this glorious piece of film/comic history came out, so the massive amount of everything Batman during this time period was just an amazing time to be alive!! Like you said, I knew Batman mostly from reruns of the the Adam West show, as well as the Super Friends cartoon and subsequent Super Powers figure. This took my kind of passive interest in Batman to an entire other stratosphere of fandom!! So cool to see stuff like the catalogs/magazines and whatnot that I always saw references to, but never actually owned. I still have all my old '89-'90 Batman toys, and I was fortunate to have they entire ToyBiz collection, as well as a large chunk of the Kenner Dark Knight Collection growing up. Sooooo many memories of not only playing with those figures with my friends, but the hunt to find all that stuff in stores!! I remember that looooong search for the actual Batman ToyBiz figure, that was pretty much non-existent in any store in the bay area. My best friend went on vacation and somehow found a store with them somehow in stock, and his parents bought one for both of us....THAT was up and above the call of our friendship!! hahaha..........anyways man, thanks for the trip down memory lane. I think I'm gonna dig out all my '89 Batman related stuff.......
Such an honor watching this video going down memory lane!! :D
Thank you for this video! This brings me back right to my childhood when I fell in love with Batman. I had/have a lot of those toys
Awesome vid!!
Great video, great collection
Your videos are so well done. Very inspiring
I swear you just described my childhood! Love it brother thank you for taking me back!
thank you justin you made my day man, i live in new orleans and 2 hurricanes are approaching we cant go anywhere due to current circumstances, but this vid cheered me up you seem to be a very kind and good natured person it shows throughout your channel, thank you dude.
Awesome collection man and cool to look back on this!
As a kid who mostly has grown up with just toys and is now growing up with technology I am always impressed with how intricate toys are. Seeing your enjoyment of these toys and hearing the stories makes me smile ear to ear.
Sick video. Loved it
Awesome! As a fellow 'Batfan' lol I was enthralled. I enjoy seeing a person's passion for a movie or character. We all know that feeling of connection to our childhood memories through our love of toys.
Great video, funny yet informative
You never fail to disappoint!
Great video, man! I enjoyed your passion for ‘89 Batman. You have a awesome collection. Keep it up.
Very cool, I'm a huge Batman fan too, and I had most of the same stuff you got, I'm working on my collection now, and I love your stories behind your collection, your stories really show how appreciative kids were back in the days.
Excellent vid!
This is one of my favorite videos you've done. "I watched so much Batman!"
