| 1682 | Article | OldSchool80s | The only one of these I am a fan of is Twas the Night Before Christmas, but I am a big fan of that one. The song "Even a Miracle Needs a Hand" is pure Christmas joy for me. Absolutely love it. I guess I do enjoy Dutch and it is a product of the late great John Hughes. | Dec 17, 2014 |  | |

| 145 | Video | Vaporman87 | Yep. Now Jason Rubin is head of THQ. So this peice of dung didn't stop him from reaching the top. | Way of the Warrior - 3DO | Jan 15, 2013 | |
| 1631 | Article | Vaporman87 | Where 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 Remembered | Dec 14, 2014 | |
| 1632 | Article | vkimo | If 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 Remembered | Dec 14, 2014 | |
| 1634 | Article | Mr Magic | 89 had a ton of memorable movies. This was one of the most memorable. | Batman '89 Remembered | Dec 15, 2014 | |
| 1635 | Article | Vaporman87 | One 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 Remembered | Dec 15, 2014 | |
| 1638 | Article | Hoju 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. | Batman '89 Remembered | Dec 15, 2014 | |
| 1639 | Article | Mr Magic | Hoju, we haven't had too many movie years like 1989 in the 21st century, have we? I remember the handheld game, btw. | Batman '89 Remembered | Dec 15, 2014 | |
