I didn't even know this was a thing until now.

I was 2 when this movie came out so I never got to see it in theaters until 2019 when our theater played it to celebrate the film's 30th anniversary.

But I didn't watch this movie til the late 2000s when my friend bought me the movie collection on DVD. I think this is still my favorite live action Batman film because while it was dark, it wasn't afraid to be a little loose with humor. And Bruce exploring love felt natural. I actually enjoy the "let's get nuts" line for the wrong reasons.

I like it even more than the Nolan films which I do like but I'll probably never go back to those films.
