What Was The 1st Batman Film You Saw?

[Quokka]

I'm sure I saw bits of the 1966 movie as kid in the 80's but I was never a fan of the show (it was just another half an hour that they could have be showing a cartoon ) so I didn't pay much attention to it.

Having not read the comics, the 89 Batman movie was my first experience of a darker more realistic Batman and I thought it was absolutely brilliant.

I can still remember Prince dressed as half Batman/ half Joker for the film clip to Batdance.

BATMAN…Director Tim Burton…
Cast Inc…Jack Nicholson… Tim Burton…Kim Basinger…
A couple of nights on this as a Supporting Artist and, although it was cold, what makes me remember this film is Jack Nicholson leaning over a high balcony and saying to some of the boys "Just look at it this way guys, another day another $100,000s" (I think we were on £50 a night).

Aitch,​

I got in on the very first one. Michael Keaton was a terrific Batman, still my favorite although Christian Bale is not to bad. Sorry but I was not a fan of Val or George. I believe there is a new Batman on the way, again with Christian Bale.

Oh Styr I remember that shark repellant. The series and the movie were a bit of a laugh.

Batman 1989, loved it I remember loving the Joker so much I dressed up as him at a Halloween disco when I was 5 and I have to say Vicki Vale was my first crush without a doubt. Also best line in the film, "you wanna get nuts, come on lets get nuts" Keaton was great at that sort of thing.

Hi Guys, My Favorite movie is batman begins. It’s a dark and danger-filled film, and a wonderful telling of Batman. Possibly one of the best superhero movies. Batman and Robbin also a good. It's a funny movie.

The 1966 Batman movie, as a repeat.

 

[Nesacat]

The 1966 Batman movie at the home of a cousin who had the movie on VHS. I then saw all the rest beginning with the Keaton one in 1989. I liked the first two with Keaton and the last one with Bale. They came closest to the comic book character.

Bat Shark Repellent!

Perfect for if you're attacked by a Bat Shark.

Is anyone else disturbed by how old the original Burton Batman is now? That was one of the first films I saw at the cinema. I feel old.

Batman by tim burton

The one with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson, the rest were corny neon rip-offs especially George Clooney and the poor high wire acts. Val Kilmers Batman wasn't too bad but the movie tried to be comical and not too serious which I didn't like. Basically Tim Burtons versions were the best out of the old generation Batman movies.

i saw for the first time BATMAN BEGINS .....last one was the dark knight......out of all batman movies i found THE DARK KNIGHT most interesting....

I saw the original show in syndication but, strangely, can't recall if ever saw the shark repellent movie. The first movie I know I saw was the first Burton.

I saw the 1989 version of Batman in theaters with my father at the age of seven. I can remember thinking that he was insane for not believing that it was, hands down, the Best. Film. Ever.

I've since come to view his opinion as being more and more sane. Obviously the Dark Knight is the Best. Film. Ever.

The Adam West, Burt Ward 1966 version. I'm as old as dirt, so that should not be a shocker.

But I always loved the tongue-in-cheek morality of the originals. I remember an episode from the TV series when a young "Girls Gone Wild" type was raiding a candy vending machine. Adam West turned to her and said: "But fresh fruit is more nutritious!" The line was delivered in dead seriousness. Just great.

When I was young (many many moons ago when Dinosaurs still walked the Earth) I remember going to Saturday Matinee (in the days when my town still had a cinema). We would buy a bag of crisps to throw at people and await the 'Big' picture. It was preceded by a half hour (or thereabouts) episode of an old serial - and this is where I got my first taste of Batman - stamping our feet and hollering as the Caped Crusader took on The Wizard in fifteen thrill-packed chapters. Aside from that, Adam West and his aforementioned Shark Repellant was my first taste of full length feature Dynamic Duo.

Ah Foxbat I was there.

There too were The Three Stooges and Zoro. We would exit the dark cinema into the harsh sunlight of Saturday afternoon and run back home smaking our backside and giddying up the reigns of our imaginary black steed. (ooops too much detail do you think)

Definitely the 1989 Burton's Batman,

I didn't like batman begins, too hollywood, but I thought Dark Knight was better, still too long but worth watching for Heath's Joker.

I haven't stopped chuckling since I read the shark repellant was inbetween squid and barracuda repellant. Brilliant!

 

[dudebro]

The first batman flick with michael keaton and Jack Nicholson. CLASSIC awesomness! that movie was in my opinion the best one until TDK came out and made me lose my mind.

 

[Face_Of_Moe]

I was cursed with Batman & Robin as my first. It was at that point i decided to see the first Batman and that turned me back to the light side. I haven't watched Batman & Robin since...

The Dark Knight owned too...

the 1st batman movie I ever saw was Batman Forever, I was really small at the time.

My first Batman film was Tim Burton's batman. A great film.

That said, my first exposure to batman was the old 60s TV series with Adam West.
