BATMAN 25th Anniversary

It’s the 25th Anniversary of Batman. Director Tim Burton and Warner Brothers changed modern comic book movies with this 1989 film.

 

Michael Keaton was the Dark Knight. Controversial but perfect casting.

 

Jack Nicholson was The Joker. The true wild card of the movie.

 

From the first moment the Dark Knight came on screen to rough up a pair of punks we you could feel the spirit of Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns.

  The trailer for Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows did a comedic 180. His big screen version of the gothic soap opera from the 1970’s plays upon an old school gentleman vampire awakened in the 70’s.

Johnny Depp plays vampire Barnabas Collins. Bond girl Eva Green plays the witch Angelique who cursed Collins. Empire posted some colorful characters posters celebrating the 70’s groovy gothic vibe.

  The Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter connection continues with Dark Shadows. The upcoming movie is inspired by the 1970’s daytime gothic soap opera. Depp plays vampire Barnabas Collins. Michelle Pfeiffer (Catwoman in Batman Returns) is another Burton alumni in the cast. Bond girl Eva Green (Casino Royale) plays the witch villainess. I have never experienced a trailer take a 180 turn like this. Enjoy! I sure did!
