A segment that I believe came from the show "PM Magazine" focusing on the production of the film. The main highlight here is an interview with Batman creator Bob Kane relaying his feelings on the film.

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).
