Video Feature: Late Night With David Letterman Michael Keaton Interview June 19, 1992

Another fantastic Keaton interview on Letterman! This time around, the Keats is there to promote Batman Returns back in 1992. This video is one I have wanted to post for awhile, but every time I tried to upload it at youtube it would get flagged by Letterman's company. Recently, they blocked the '89 interview I had up over there too. This force me to reupload the video at vimeo and update my original blog post (you can see it HERE). I figured while I was at it, I may as well put this one up at vimeo too before Letterman scrubs all the copies of it from youtube. Enjoy!

New Merchandise: 1/6 Scale Ultimate 1989 Batwing Vehicle From Jazzinc Dioramas

Now THAT is a Batwing! Coming in the first quarter of 2023 is this INCREDIBLE 1/6 scale Batwing replica!



Here are all the details from Jazzinc-

Inspired by the oval-shaped Bat-insignia symbol, the original Batwing had a 35 feet wingspan which means a ⅙ version is going to need a sizable display space. In fact, you may want to start making room.

Measuring in at 44.92 x 52.4 x 14.5 inches, or 114.1 x 132.9 x 36.8 in CM, Jazzinc has never offered anything of this size and scale. And now that this is an officially licensed product, the hyper-accurate Batman 1989 Batwing Ultimate Edition will also include a magnetically removable canopy, a detailed cockpit interior with light-up functionality, a gatling gun, and enough room inside the cockpit for a Hot Toys™ DX09 Batman.

Moreover, due to its unprecedented size, the ⅙ Batwing is a limited edition collectible that can only be made to order. Pre-order yours now for a Batman collectible unlike any other.

SIZE (inches) : 44.92 x 52.4 x 14.5
SIZE (CM) : 114.1 x 132.9 x 36.8

Vintage Magazine Article: "Cinefantastique" February 1994 (Volume 24 Number 6/ Volume 25 Number 1)

As I try to make a return to more frequent postings here at 1989Batman.com, today I present you with all the Burton Batman and Batman The Animated Series related tidbits from the February '94 issue of Cinefantastique! While there is plenty to take in here from BTAS... the issue is a little lean on Burton Bat Bits. Since the issue was published roughly 1.5 years after "Batman Returns", the articles are mostly specualtion on the upcoming Keaton-attached "Batman 3" and "Catwoman" films (and we all know what happened to those...). Enjoy!
