Michael Uslan’s Favorite BATMAN ’89 Scenes

5790

Recently, I polled BOF’er and asked them to tell me their favorite scenes from BATMAN ’89. Currently, I’ve taken that data, analyzed it, and I’m working to post the top 5 to 8 responses in an upcoming BOF article in honor of B89‘s 30th anniversary.  Stay tuned for that.

In the meantime, I reached out to BOF’s good friend Michael Uslan — you know, the man responsible for getting that movie made — to tell us his favorite scenes from the film.  So, in no particular order, here they are!  (Click on the images of each to watch the video of each scene.)- Bill “Jett” Ramey

“I’m Batman!”

Batman and Vicki race through the night to the Batcave via Batmobile, as Danny Elfman’s music plays in the background.

“He gave us a signal!” through to the end as Danny Elfman’s score concludes.

“I made you? You made me first!”

“Let’s get nuts!”

“I didn’t ask.”

 

“Get in my car.”
“Which car?….Oh.”

My credit.

 

As a reminder, the story behind “Did you ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight” was revealed in my graphic novel, BATMAN: DETECTIVE #27…which also has some relevance regarding BATMAN BEGINS. – Michael Uslan

Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
