In 1989 moviegoers were amazed at the new vision of the Dark Knight brought to the screen by filmmaker Tim Burton, starring Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as The Joker. Now, in the tradition of DC’s very successful Batman ’66 series, Batman ’89 is set in a truly gothic Gotham City and features colorful villains including The Joker, Two-Face, and many more.

I'd love to see a Batman Beyond, either 50 years after the 1966 show, or 50 years after the 1989 movie. Base a Batman Beyond story in either one of those universes.
Bonus points for use of the word faklempt
I get why you guys didn't like Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, though not only did I really enjoy Returns, but I thought it was a superior sequel to the '89 film.
When Batman Begins was released, I didn't have access to the internet, so opinions were from people around me who didn't necessarily like superheroes or comics.
The general consensus was that the majority enjoyed it very much, especially my girlfriend who definitely doesn't like superheroes, but loves Christian Bale.
About 5 years or so ago when I started seeing opinions on the internet, I've discovered that some comic fans don't like Christopher Nolan's vision, but I haven't seen all three
so I can't comment on the overall idea.
Anyway, with the whole teleporting across dimensions, this is one of the more fun & entertaining episodes in a while. (All your eps are great, but this one more so.)
Especially tricking Ethan into wearing a fake 'tache. I laughed out loud at that…!
A little dramatic about the ending maybe. Only Two-Face structurally has to live by the coin flip; Batman can try it out as a gag. But it might be a little Westified.
22:35 ….He's a surgeon guy, he's a safecracker guy, he's a concert pianist guy.
On earth 789, I am not a batman fan because I never watched batman & robin when I was 5
I like these recaps but maybe show the cover art at least?
Hey Batman Forever is better than Batman Returns
I hope Warner Bros will make Batman '89 animated movie using using animation art style just like Batman The Dark Knight Returns and Batman The Doom That Came to Gotham.
Personally, Batman Forever > Batman Returns
Really appreciated Prince's "Partyman" persona referenced in the Halloween Joker
In the prequels' defense, the world building is incredible, it's the script that makes the movie suffer heavily
Very fun comic. You could tell Quinones getting COVID affected the latter half of the comic and I felt Catwoman was unnecessary. Other than that, it had good art and strong ideas, particularly with how Two-Face was handled. I'd like to see a sequel to this. We already know Superman is getting one.
I love all the Easter eggs in this books, seeing Dr.Quinzel on T.V and the Dee-Dees amongst the Joker gang is fun
The more you talked about the book, the more I realized your Firefly suggestion would have done a lot for the book. A sub villain was DEFINITELY needed
I would’ve loved to see Billy Dee play Two Face
I look away for 1 second and Ethan is replaced by someone else. Odd.
Omg I just noticed the credits at the end! Such a subtle but nice change, love to see the Back Issues formats change over the years and always getting better and better! 🙂
Ethan’s mustache makes it look like he had a stroke😂
I’m not surprised Drake wanted to see the car.
Chicks dig the car
your shirt… please, I need it… where?
This episode was really. Thanks for keeping my love of comics alive
Back issues just gets more and more experimental and I’m loving it
"Yeah those are The Joker's mints" fucking killed me🤣🤣🤣
DAMN! 😅
I like to think that Sal stole his dimension transporter from the corpse of a 2010s movie youtuber
Best thing about this comic was the Robin design. Rest of it was a mess.
This might be an unpopular opinion but between the two I definitely prefer Batman Forever. This book just didn't click with me and there were a lot of weird creative choices that I didn't care for. I liked the Superman 78 book a lot more.
I so hope you guys cover cosmic ghost rider volume 1 I love that comic Frank castle going on a cosmic road trip with baby thanos that is too good not to do on this show
Batman ended up kinda being twoface, Twoface ended up being like robin hood and robin ended up being like an orphaned Bruce Wayne whaaat?
LOVED THIS EPISODE Thank you Sal Ben and Mustachioed Ethan for defying the laws of nature and physics to give to me this hour and a half of entertainment. I'll be watching the clock til next week for another installment. BACK ISSUES FOREVER HAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Also, I see a Dream Team cover in the background. Micheal Keaton…Dream Team…I see what you did there!
There’s a great YouTube channel called Channel Awesome. They do a video on “if burton done Batman forever” and “Batman and Robin” worth a watch
Based on this book I'm really glad we never had Marlon Wayans as Robin. He's written as a real douche.
Burnside is actually a real place in New York City. You guys reference actual NYC so much I’d assume you guys would catch that since some iterations of Gotham has some shades of the Big Apple
I think Barbara is supposed to be “played” by Sean Young who was cast as Vikki Vale in the first film (and had to drop out due to pregnancy) and the infamously lobbied Burton and the producers to play Catwoman in the second film (clearly to no effect.) Nice to see she finally got the part!
You guys should cover some of the old dark horse Indiana Jones comics sometime.
