Want to win a Batman Film Favorites Blu-Ray, a vintage carded Kenner Batman Dark Knight Collection Joker, or a NECA 18" 1989 Batman? You can as part of our 25th Anniversary celebration!
2014 marks the 25th Anniversary of Batman, the groundbreaking superhero film directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton & Jack Nicholson. We'll be celebrating the Anniversary all year long with brand new content over at www.1989Batman.com ... But we want you to be a part of the celebration too! Beginning now and running through May 31 2014, we want you to submit your best "I'm Batman" impersonation video- recreating that classic moment from the 1989 film. All submitted clips may become a part of a special 25th Anniversary compilation video posted right on or around June 23 (the day Batman hit theaters across the US)!
Your submission also enters you into a series of giveaways leading up to the deadline. For all submissions through April 30 2014, you'll be entered to win either a Batman Film Favorites Blu-Ray set or a packaged vintage Kenner Batman Dark Knight Collection Sky Escape Joker! You'll also be entered to win the Grand Prize- A NECA 18" Michael Keaton Batman Figure! (If you submit AFTER April 30, you'll only have a shot at the NECA 18" figure)
Sending your clip is your entry into the contest(s) and also releases rights to the clip to me (so that I can add it into the overall video). If you don't want your video added, I am sorry but that voids your entry... we want this to be a worldwide fandom celebration after all! And if you're under 18, please get your parent's permission before entering! Your submitted video implies that you have done so!
So get to it! Send those videos over to james@1989batman.com today! (For the original announcement of the contest, head HERE.)

The 1989 Batman Audio/ Video Press Kit
Part 1- "Featurette"
A 1989Batman.com EXCLUSIVE! To promote the release of Batman, Warner Brothers created an audio/ video press kit cassette for distribution to major network & TV programs. The cassette included a behind-the-scenes featurette, cast & crew interviews, trailers & film clip segments, and B-Roll footage. Networks & TV production companies would select the segments they wished to use & edit them into their programs. The tape was never intended for public viewing, and has been seen by very few over the last 2 decades.
