Title: So what are we doing for the 20th Anniversary?
Post by: Grissom on Wed, 2 Nov 2011, 18:06
Hey guys and gals, what are the things that are planned for Batman Returns for next year? I think it's time we share ideas and thoughts on how
to celebrate this excellent sequel. From quizzes to podcasts, trivia etc. we gotta get cracking.

Any thoughts out there?

Yeah, gotta get heads together. Time goes in fast.

Any editors/contributors looking to do interviews should let me know.

It'll be good if we start collecting Batman Returns vids from places like youtube, from fan made trailers to interviews, behind the scenes etc.

I have an idea. Members write a paragraph or so about what BR means to them, how it holds up and its legacy. Collect them all into one article which is posted on the main page (each member gets name credit), and call it "Fans Reflect upon 20 years" or something like that.

I also like TDK's idea, it'll be great to see what people's impression of the film were and is.

Perhaps Reevz666 has other BR goodies he can share with us? We could get in contact with him, to see if he wants to participate.

Oh and ral, do you still have that BR Panini sticker album? It's a small thing, but perhaps that could be scanned and shown during the celebrations.

Yeah, I still have it.

I am trying to get the gallery up soon so we can add new stuff!

Great idea TDK.  I unfortunately ever got the chance to complete my BR Panini stickr album back in 1992... :(

Yep... the figures are pretty cool. (No doubt being released due to how well the 89 figures are doing).

As for the celebrations, I'd love to get involved and help celebrate one of the defining movies of my childhood.

I have acquired a magazine that features BR artwork that I haven't seen before. I will scan it in the coming days and share it for the anniversary.

I'm in a rush but I'll give a taste of one of the arts. Again, I hadn't seen this before but some of you may have:

I'll scan this and the others properly of course later.

I don't think I've seen that picture before.

I'll certainly look forward to seeing the rest when they're posted.

Have never seen it either. I might be way off, but the art style reminds me a bit of the classic Star Wars concept artworks, it looks fantastic. Any chance we'll ever see these artworks in large resolution? Damn, there's too much great BR-related stuff out there that some of us have missed, lol.

For some reason I missed it. One day someone ought to organize all interesting links etc. in a single sticky post.

There should be an article or two celebrating or remembering 20 years of Batman Returns. A friend gave me a heads up the other day, I'll have to find out exactly which website or online magazine.
