The Bat Cave

This website is a shrine to Tim Burton's two Batman films.

All the Bat News that's Fit to Bat Print

Batman Online covers news big—interview with a guy who played a goon in 1989's Batman—and small—casting news for modern Batman films.

BOOK OR TV ADAPTATIONS:

On the Books

Writing the novelization, Craig Shaw Gardener tightened up any plot holes big enough to drive the Batmobile through.

ARTICLES AND INTERVIEWS

Opposites Attract

Burton describes himself as an "optimistic pessimist" in this article. We'd describe Batman the same way.

Out of the Box

Read this interview with the fat mime from Batman. He speaks, so you don't have to interpret the whole thing from hand signals.

Looking Back at the Bat

Michael Keaton channeled his own personal loneliness into the Batman role. It almost makes us cry little bat-tears.

The Joke's on Him

Jack Nicholson was "furious" that Heath Ledger took over the role, and we don't think he's joking. Or is he?

VIDEO

One Bat Wing Down

Siskel loved Batman. Ebert, who is perhaps the Joker in disguise, did not. These two batty guys fly in circles reviewing the film.

Dark Shadows

Burton addresses the question as to whether or not the Joker is too flamboyant and over-shadows Batman. Batman likes shadows, so we think he's fine with being in the background.

Batmania

Forget Zika or SARS, in 1989 everyone was consumed by one plague: Batmania.

He Who Doesn't Sin

If you think there's nothing wrong with Tim Burton's Batman, CinemaSins has 148 counterpoints for you to consider.

AUDIO

Bat Boy

This isn't the Batman radio show from the 1940's, but it is a radio program about the man who brought Batman back from the brink of obscurity.

The Purple One

You can listen to Prince's Batman soundtrack until you're purple in the face.

IMAGES

Behind the Bat-Scenes

Keaton and Nicholson ham it up like Abbot and Costello Meet Batman and Joker in these promo shots.

In Living Color

This fan-made poster is the opposite of the minimalist original, but it's a ton of fun.
