YEAH! That's right! How could I forget, Batman came out on VHS on November 15th, 1989. It was quite an event, similar to the release of the movie itself. I saw a cool video of a news report where the Batmobile was driven by The Joker heading to the stores to drop off the first copies. It was sweet.

I wonder if I can find that video again on youtube?  :-\

I remember when it came out, my father rented it and we took it to our neighbor's house to make copies. However, they recorded it on SP mode which is exactly two hours. For the six years that I watched that tape, it ended when Knox says "Hey Vale, aren't you covering this..." (STOP, REWIND) >:(

LOL! Funny story. Batman was probably one of the most copied VHS tapes ever.
