Yeah, there kind of is. I'm working on something related right now

Keaton's while interview time only totals about 2 minutes and is so sad as you know they're sitting on loads of footage from that and they've included it in amongst content that is pretty offensive to any fans of the film

Yes, unfortunately that line is uttered. Goyer comments on a Batman tattoo being popular at the time and something about modern comic book movies

The only actual crew members interviewed are Keaton and Peter Guber, the rest are made up of industry analysts/critics, Geoff Johns, David Goyer and a couple of WB execs. All of which focus on the money that was made and how Batman created "your movie doesn't have to be good as long as opens huge." Model of filmmaking.

Like I said, pretty insulting

Just got done watching it and aside from Keaton's affectionate look back at the experience, the whole thing is borderline insulting. Yes, it explores how Batman changed everything in terms of how blockbusters are made, but it basically implies that the movie was crap and wouldn't have been successful without the hype. I'm stunned that someone signed off on this, feels like the studio just took s great big dump on a film beloved by a great many people.

Avoid!

I can confirm this. I'm watching it now....however, there is Keaton is interviewed in the documentary, finally!!

Being Batman keeps me busy your meowjesty :p

Thanks mate, there are few more like that. Peters was not liked!

Jack Nicholson strapping a dildo to his head to taunt Peters is a highlight.

It's been a dream of mine for 25 years, in fact I collected the costume just a few days after the anniversary of when I first saw the movie a quarter of a century ago.

This is something I never thought I'd ever see happen, I've owned replicas, hell, I make replicas, but this has always been the dream. I had to sell my entire Batman collection to get it, but it was and is 100% worth it.

So without further ado, pics.




This cowl was used in the museum scene, which was shot very early in production, in fact it's likely that this was Batman's appearance on set to shoot.

First worn by Keaton and then by Sean McGabe to perform the stunt of Batman crashing through the skylight. The neck was torn out by the stunt coordinator to allow McGabe to look down during the stunt - much to the horror of the wardrobe dept.





Next is the emblem, labelled #02. This was damaged on set went Keaton threw it in a temper. He had just finished shooting on and had started getting out of costume when he was instructed to stay in it by Jon Peters who had arranged a surprise photoshoot by Herb Ritts for Rolling Stone. Exhausted, Keaton refused, prompting Peters to tell him "I own you!"

Keaton threw the emblem and walked off set, his double did the photoshoot in his place.





The cape is also labelled #02 and was also used in the museum scene, including the skylight crash.

It's an early cape so doesn't have the internal latex panels and doesn't have the metal cape plates, as it was needed to break away if necessary during the stunt.





This is the costume. It was used throughout the film, but was cut in half on set when Keaton couldn't sit in the Batwing.

The undersuit is white due to the pleather material they used for it delaminating from the material underneath.

Finally, some things I didn't take away with me, but still desperately want.



This is Keaton's Armani suit and shoes from the "Wanna get nuts" scene. It fit like it was tailored for me!!



Jack Napier's hat!!

Then there's this guy

Hope you enjoy the pics and tales guys.
