shareIt's really great and always has been. People went nuts for the movie when it was first released, so I doubt the audiences of 1989 were that nostalgic for a new release, barring a few time-travellers.
shareBefore this movie if you heard Batman you thought of Adam West. When this movie came out it completely upended the public's expectations and showed that batman could be more than children's entertainment. It showed that he could be a serious character. Bruce Wayne was a fully fleshed out character that adult audiences could appreciate. Adam West's batman was just some super rich guy that dressed up with his best friend having a blast stopping crime. We went from shark repellent to lighting criminals on fire and blowing them up.
