A rare and fascinating look at the making of the 1989Batmanmovie

you could keep your Dark Knights and Tumblers . For my money , the best Batman movie is still Tim Burton ’s 1989 version starring Michael Keaton , and this 30 - minute documentary , shot during filming , reminds us all how solid ground - breaking the movie was .

How contemporary is it ? Well , Tim Burton is portray as a risky Hollywood iconoclast , which is hilarious now . Also , it ’s hosted by Robert Wuhl ( he played the reporter Know ) , who was a pretty pop comic back then . But seeing Keaton and Kim Basinger and Burton let the cat out of the bag about this superhero moving-picture show as this dotty , enormous , brand - raw entity — well , it ’s a marvelous look back at a neat film and a very felicitous admonisher of how far we ’ve get along .
