It’s hard to remember a time now when superhero movies weren’t a constant fixture of American life.
The rise of Marvel Studios and cinematic universe-style storytelling has resulted in well over a decade’s worth of constant comic book movies and TV shows. Before game-changing filmmakers like Christopher Nolan and Sam Raimi brought their unique voices to the superhero genre in the mid-2000s, though, comic book movies weren’t nearly as frequent or omnipresent in Hollywood as they are now.
Recommended Videos The film is, in a lot of ways, a fairly straightforward take on the story and character of Batman. However, while filmmaking technology has advanced considerably in the years since it was released and comic book movies have grown far more complex, Batman is arguably still just as astonishing to watch now as it was in 1989. There are a lot of reasons for that — most of which Hollywood as an industry and the studios behind today’s superhero movies seem to have forgotten.
The outsized style of Batman‘s performances and story is matched by its visual design. Thirty-five years after its release, it still looks unlike any other comic book movie. Roger Pratt’s stark, colorful cinematography works in tandem with Anton Furst’s production design to create a live-action version of Gotham City that looks like it could have been both ripped right out of the pages of a comic book and served as the backdrop of a gothic silent film like Metropolis or The Cabinet of Dr.
Burton, consequently, ended up creating a superhero movie with an actual, identifiable identity — one that allows it to stand out in the genre even now.
