20/20 "Batmania" Segment

A week before the film premiered, 20/20 showcased this segment on the making of Batman. All the usual news bits are here- comparisons to the Adam West show, the offbeat choice of director, and the worries of the fan community due to Keaton's casting. Enjoy!

Merchandise Spotlight:
1989 Warner Bros. Holiday Collection Catalog

For anyone that owned a VHS copy of Batman, you may remember an advertisement featuring Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck that preceded the film. In the ad, Bugs and Daffy argued back and forth about watching the film without first ordering merchandise from the Warner Bros catalog (spoiler warning- Bugs came out on top). If you ever wondered what that catalog looked like, well this post is for you! Pictured here is all the Bat-merchandise featured in the 1989 Warner Bros Holiday Catalog. Enjoy!

Video Feature:
"A Hero In Black" TV Spot

Another of the TV Spots for the film. Love the opening narration of this one- "A woman in danger, a hero in black..." Epic.
