the up in the sky it's a bird it's a plane joints? true
I was moreso talking gotham city's overall aesthetic, as opposed to storytelling cues but yeah. I had no idea about the music tho.
Yeah Bruce Timm and Paul Dini both said that they got their aesthetic and vibe from the old superman cartoons..hence the art deco look, the blimps, the cars, all of it. He wanted to make a batman cartoon that was in the vein of that show and it just so happened to coincide with the movie but they'd been working on it since at least 89 or 90 I think

Tim Burton fukked up and made Gotham look like something out of a Stanley Kubrick film. Script was stupid af. He even fukked up and got an R rating, so 80's babies like myself that grew up on the Batman tv show couldn't even watch it or enjoy it. Batman Returns fixed all that mess. Only thing good about that movie was the Joker.
No one has given a shyt about 89 Batman since the 90's.

FOH. BATMAN WAS the summer of 89 much more than TDK was the summer of 08. I Kissed a Girl was the Summer of 08, TBQH. TDK was 2nd.
Unless you scared TDK will win by a landslide.
