1641ArticleHoju Koolander@NLogan Yeah, those variations in the Batman and Joker head sculpts are so interesting: square jaw, round jaw, Joker with double hair curl. Glad you got to enjoy so many parts of this moment in time. @thecrow174 Maybe we just need a little perspective. A decade from now we might be saying 2015 was the year of all-time classic films and blockbuster hits. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is coming out next year after all ;)Batman '89 RememberedDec 15, 2014View
1640ArticleNLoganJack Nicholson was the stand out performance of the movie for me. I had the Super Powers blue Batman, the Penguin, and the Joker (I still have the Joker). I had the Ertl Batmobile and the micro versions of the Batmobile, Batwing, and Joker Van. I had the movie version black suit Batman and the Joker with his different head sculpt and paint job. I ate the Batman cereal with bank, had the cards, spent hours beating the NES game.Batman '89 RememberedDec 15, 2014View
1639ArticleMr MagicHoju, we haven't had too many movie years like 1989 in the 21st century, have we? I remember the handheld game, btw.Batman '89 RememberedDec 15, 2014View
1638ArticleHoju Koolander@vkimo I never knew you were such a Batman devotee. Did you attach this velcro bat-symbol or did you buy it that way? I am intrigued. @Vaporman87 glad you can back me up on this. Speaking of Batmania, there was a VHS that came out around this time called "Holy Batmania!" covering the phenomenon. My copy no longer plays, but I remember this segment of Adam West as Batman at some rinky-dink fan event giving it his all to entertain. It was sad and inspiring at the same time. Interesting that you had Mantis, he came at the end of the line when Kenner started throwing in lesser known characters, just because they had cool designs or making up new ones altogether. @thecrow174 Yeah, the return of Indiana Jones and Ghostbusters in '89 were just some the highlights, I wonder if we will get a year like that in the 21st century.

1636ArticleMissMI so remember the MK live tour. I never saw it but I had this Kollector's Edition magazine that featured images of the cast. It was so cool. This article was perfect at capturing that feel of the time. I remember so many debates in the cafeteria about the merits of Street Fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat. Very cool images and a great article.

1635ArticleVaporman87One other memory that this article popped into my head, although a bit off topic, was that the first toy my dad purchased for me in the aftermath of my parents divorce, was a Super Powers Mantis figure. I don't know why, but that has stuck with me for my whole life. <img src="http://www.kennersuperpowers.com/spfigures/mantis-2s-fc-a.jpg"></img>Batman '89 RememberedDec 15, 2014View
1634ArticleMr Magic89 had a ton of memorable movies. This was one of the most memorable.Batman '89 RememberedDec 15, 2014View
1633ArticleVaporman87Ahh, man. I share your joy of reminiscing about the use of the record function of cassette recorders/players of our day. Only, where you were delighting in capturing your favorite songs of the day, I was using mine to preserve, for all time, my ability to pretend to be a DJ/Radio Talk Show Host/Sportscaster... along with some buddies of mine. I have probably 40 cassettes containing various mixes of those pretending sessions. Some were actually funny, most were only funny to me and the people I recorded them with. Though, something tells me they will be found humorous again someday when my kids find them and start listening to dad acting a fool in his youth. E.T. was huge for sure. My mom even had somebody she knew make an E.T. cake for me. But this was not a sheet cake with E.T. painted on with icing. It was a cake IN THE SHAPE of E.T.! Probably about 2 feet high. It tasted... awful. But man... it was cool to look at. Thanks for sharing this with us OldSchool. It's good to read something from you again.My Christmas 1982Dec 14, 2014View
1632ArticlevkimoIf it could fit the Bat symbol, then it was fair game. I was at a flea market awhile back and this guy had dozens of the Batman coin bank cereals for sale. I regularly wear a Batman print shirt to the gym and have a velcro bat sign on my duffel bag. Batman '89 RememberedDec 14, 2014View
1631ArticleVaporman87Where to begin? My main memory of this movie is that, the months leading up to (and after) it's release were what I'd call "Batmania". NEVER before in my youth had I witnessed a marketing push like that which this movie enjoyed. As you said, you could not escape it... no matter where you were. I had seen products emblazoned with the bat symbol that would never had occurred to me to be something you'd market a film on. It was just insane. And the thing was, I fully recognized it. Even then, at the tender age of 16, only just becoming allowed to drive by myself, I would often think, "Man, this is just crazy." And it worked. That movie was all you read about, heard about, or talked about when it came to films that year. And that's saying a lot, because '89 is arguably one of the best years ever for movies (from a fan perspective anyways). I had that magazine you pictured (might even still have it somewhere). And I know I still have the semi-hardback comic based on the film. I think I may even still have a very threadbare black t-shirt with the '89 bat symbol on it. No doubt about it... 1989 was the year of "The Bat".Batman '89 RememberedDec 14, 2014View
