Differences In Batman (1989) Movie Vs Comic 

i will NEVER get tired of seeing jack nicholson as the joker. best joker ever, imo.

"I am the night" was the original line in the movie script, Keaton forgot about it, and came out with "I'm Batman".

Awesome perfomances by the actors. And also gave us the best looking Batmobile ever.

One of the best illustrated movie to comic ever

The artwork is amazing.

"You wouldn't hit a guy wearing glasses, would ya?"

I still have that comic book. Classic! Jack Nicholson IS the best Joker ever. He nailed it!

You forgot one big difference that is Batman can turn his neck in the comic

The goon with the foot blades was in the movie; the knives extended in midair as he attacked Batman. He still got nailed in the groin, but actually survived, whereas Clarence simply missed Batman and fell through the floor. One of the few advantages to the comic; Burton's directing actually showed how you could take a great story in the comic and improve it even further. Another difference you forgot was that the young Jack Napier in the flashback is drawn as Jack Nicholson, not the actor Hugo Blick used in the film.

Tell me something my friend, have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?

I remember owning this when I was a kid. Magnificent artwork by Mr. Ordway.

my favorite batman movie

8:05 - Yes! With the upcoming Batman '89 comic book series, that wish has been realized!

Hands down best Batman ever. The comic is awesome too. Id love to get a copy of it

The artist, Jerry Ordway, was still doing ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN at the time. I also met him at a comic convention and he said doing the adaptation was a major pain in the neck because of WB being in the middle of things. I still consider this to be the best comic adaptation of any movie.

Cool video, don’t know why I’m just now seeing your content in my recommend feed. But I’m glad it finally did!

I didn't know that and It's really beautifully illustrated! It looks great and thanks for narrating! I love your channel! Keep it up Score PN! Your content is awesome!

Love these my friend!! Please do all the differences of comic book movies and books! Like man of steel, justice league, and marvel! Love the content man! Thank you for these

I love these! Thank you!

Great vid! I used to read the heck out of this when it came out. Loved the movie and the comic adaption was just as good. I also liked how it had the combination of the movie suit but he was able to move like the comics.

Amazing content as usual

I used to have the adaptation. Totally noticed a few differences. It was definitely from an earlier draft. If I recall correctly, Jerry Ordway drew the first one, then the other three werent as great art-wise.

A movie that has truly stood the test of time. But cool to find out a comic summary was made about it.

Great video!

Great video 👍. Thanks for the extra Batman knowledge and spending your money

Best. Movie. Ever.

I'm surprised Batman 89 was even a comic book.I like the movie and not everything needs to be the same.

The set up for “I am the night” was badass

I recently got that comicbook! And i love the art & colour!!

ANOTHER MAJOR DIFFERENCE IS THE COMIC SHOWS BATMAN BEING MORE FLEXIBLE IN THAT BATSUIT & NOT AS STIFF

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I bought this adaptation when it first came out and it was drawn quite well. I lost it a couple of moves ago but this comic got me back into collecting again. I think I had Batman Returns too and that one is just as good.

Some of these extra scenes in this comic,were actually deleted scenes from the film. The Alexander Knox was one of many. Most of the deleted scenes were shown on the 1989 Topps movie trading cards. I was five when "Batman" came out,and I used to have a ton of those cards.

I have not seen the comic book version of the '89 Batman, but I have noticed that according to your vid, the story is similar to the novelisation of the movie. ☺

U forgot to say that batman in the comic's is 6'2 and 210 Michael Keaton was 5'10 and around 150 in the movie he still was the best batman tho in my opinion

It would be nice if DC released a Batman '89 comic book series just like DC did with Batman '66 and Wonder Woman '77.

Great video! Some big differences in the Returns comic- namely the Penguin lives if I remember correctly.

I used to own that comic, along with the NES videogame as well BEFORE I had ever watched the movie ^^

As a kid, I watched this VHS so many times it broke. Loved it every time

Feels weird not watching a resident evil video from you, but good video about batman.

The art here is fantastic!

I usually watch your resident evil stuff , but this was cool too. I love that movie . Good stuff

I really loved this adaptation when it came out. Faithful to the story and the art is phenomenal.

That was pretty well done there.

My favorite movie of all time in general.

You can literally hear the crunching of the gravel under his boot in the VHS version at the beginning of the movie. I remember it as a kid. It was always audible. I also had this comic. A lot of these movie to comic adaptations are based off the screenplays, which often change during filming.

FOLLOW-UP three years later: Have you read the "Batman '89" comic? It's written by Sam Hamm and is his take on the Billy Dee Williams Two-Face.

This is my favourite batman movie I like the others too but this one I watched as a 7 year old kid it's a shame people put this to the side

I had pages of that comic on my wall for years as a kid

i love this comic book, the art is absolutely fantastic

It's still the best Batman film next to The Dark Knight!

That was the very first comic book I've ever got. I got it before I could see the movie and couldn't wait to watch since then, which felt like forever. I was about 5. Still got it in a pretty rough shape, missing cover, but it's still there.

Comic book continuation In March 2016, artist Joe Quinones revealed several art designs he and Kate Leth had created to pitch a comic book continuation set in the Batman '89 universe to DC Comics. The pitch, which was rejected, would have included the story of Billy Dee Williams' Harvey Dent turning into Two-Face as well as the inclusion of characters such as Batgirl in a story that took place following the events of Batman Returns. In 2021, DC announced it would be releasing a comic book continuation of the Batman '89 film. The series would be written by Sam Hamm and illustrated by Joe Quinones. The comic's synopsis revealed that it would include the return of Selina Kyle/Catwoman, an introduction of a new Robin, and the transformation of Williams' Harvey Dent into Two-Face. Batman '89: Echoes A second series was announced by DC Comics on August 17, 2023. The first issue of the new series will be released November 28, 2023. It will be penned, once again, by Sam Hamm, with art by Joe Quinones. In the series, Batman has mysteriously disappeared after Dent's death, leading Gotham citizens to take to the streets to fight in his place. Scarecrow will be featured as one of the antagonists.

You should start doing podcasts !

Great video, you can do one about the spiderman 2 or X-men 2 movie comic adaptation?

Read the novelisation most of these changes are in it plus others. The horse riding scene etc. The ink coming off the bills and showing its Joker money etc. The movie shooting script itself was undergoing changes all the time.

The Knox seen where he has Batman cowl on was cut from the film there's picture it on some Batman sites.

Ive got this one as well, love it!😎

There’s a problem in the intro,but the video is pretty good.

I’m surprised they didn’t include more from the original Sam Hamm draft, since they included the fake money at the parade and inferred Knox’s death. There was a lot Sam has written for the film in the last 2/3rds of the film that was either changed or removed due to concerns about pacing and the writer’s strike let Burton end the film however he wanted without Hamm’s ability to protest. That’s why Alfred let vale into the bat cave. Originally Vale figured it out on her own. She told Knox. Knox was planning to blackmail Wayne. Joker would have killed robin’s parents when running from Wayne in a civilian car chase that would have taken place after the Joker invaded Vale’s apartment. Oh and the joker would have had a giant speech/rally right before the parade scene to an entirely dead audience. It was pretty morbid

Escape without being seen??? Lol I love how you clearly see a giant shadow of a man flying upwards. So great

Tell all your friends I am the night, is from the Novel based on the movie by Craig Shaw Gardner

The Batman Film Comic Adaptation was the first superhero comic book i ever buy (it was the Argentinian Edition in Spanish... because I'm from Argentina and in 1990 i was 10 years old and don't read in english so well). It was a favorite of mine for a long long time.

Oh wow I remember this comic! It was one of the first I ever bought as a kid

The art is awesome.

Do a video about the proposed Outbreak File#3. There were going to be G-Virus zombies and even a fight with William Birkin!!!

Still have these comic books. From Batman (1989) to Batman Begins.

Holy shit! Sometimes one forgets just how damn good Jerry Ordway is as an artist.

The artwork is great! Looks just like Keaton, Basinger, & Nicholson.

I had that book. I read it over and over and over. The 'explosive bullet' stuff truly annoyed me, but the graphic work was fantastic.

I have that adaptation, I bought it when I was a kid the time of its release and I never knew why they changed some things.

well reviewed and yeah ...if only the artist did this for BATMAN 89 comic that was cancelled and almost of all ...wheres the scene where Vicki Vale was talking to the press and that's where joker had an immediate crush for her "stop the press , whose that ?"

Still have my comic book after all these years, as well as returns and forever:) I was 9 when the movie came out, and it is to this date my favorite superhero movie. What made it so good in my opinion was the excessive world building. The Architecture of Gotham City. The fashion, blending 80's with 50's fashion was brilliant and makes it stand the test of time. The atmosphere, despite the Jokers comedy scenes, the movie was very dark and serious. And the soundtrack was brilliant. A slight disappointment, when I went to buy the soundtrack, all I got were Prince songs and not the actual score.....

GREAT

the art in this comic is soooo good

I like the GANTZ intro

Batman brings Vicky Vale to the batcave to take the film in her camera!

Doing the characters to look like the movie versions is a great fantasy but the reality is they would have to get permission from the actors and you would probably have to keep paying them to keep using their likeness and if they said no you would have to change just them (I'm thinking I ready that Signory Weaver refused to let her likeness be used for "Alien" comics so they had to change her character's appearance. Jerry Ordway is an excellent artist, you should check out his other stuff. He actually worked on Superman comics in the '80s and '90s (I think) and did an excellent job.

There are people, who remember seeing the Joker bill in the movie. I think they might have read the comic back in the day and have mixed memories of it and the movie.

Can you do Batman mask 😷 of the Phantasm, please?

I loved this movie wholeheartedly as a kid. Now, I'm older and I'm more into the Batman mythos, and while Batman killing, the lack of character for Bruce Wayne, and the change of the origin story bothers me, this is still a wonderful Batman film. I just kind of see it as an Elseworlds version of Batman in a sense.

I didn’t understand Knox part with batmask.. what was that about? Hah

I just like the sound of it

If I remember this comic correctly, when Batman first takes Vicki to his BatCave, he drives through a section of brush area that is just a hologram. I always thought that was weird. A hologram would be pretty flimsy security for the BatCave! 🦇👀🤣

They can bring this artist for Batman 89....I know it was scrapped but it should happen.

I have this with the other three comics of the other films

Batman: Resurrection by John Jackson Miller is an upcoming novel set in the Tim Burton Batman universe with Michael Keaton's Bruce Wayne / Batman as its protagonist. It is set to be released on October 15, 2024, by Penguin Random House. The novel serves as a direct sequel to the movie Batman (1989) and is set between the aforementioned film and its sequel, Batman Returns (1992).

For many years now, I was able to verify, even as a child, that the 1989 Batman comic, as well as other adaptations, generally do not match or are not exactly related to the scenes of the film. I had this comic in my hands, and I watched the movie hundreds of times, because I think it's one of the best. We really don't know exactly why they do this with comics, at least from the reader's point of view. Good Video!

It Feels So good to have an Comic adaptation of The 1989 movie ☺️ I'm actually thinking about getting This Comic For Christmas when I get a Chance

Awesome review! I still have those adaptations, very cool stuff. Even the B&R and Forever adaptations are better than the films, because you don't have to the excess of stupidity, bad directing and acting.

What about the spiderman trilogy comic books

Nemesis vs Birkin Part 3!

That costume is the best

You're gonna love the new Batman 89 comics

Batman 1998 is my number 1 favorite batman movie

Favorite Batman film ever 🤩🤩🤩

That joker was a savage!

I remember I had the Phantom Menace comic. It has no differences.

Is there any comic books adapted from movies that enhances the film or reveals interesting additional backstory?

I still have that comic book.

I had this comic. I was about 7 or 8 when the movie came out, and had this comic bought for me.
