Warner Bros., the studio behind the successful Superman film franchise, decided to also accept and produce "Batman".
(meta data) TITLE: Batman- The 1989 Film: Vintage Magazine Article: "Cinefantastique" November 1989 (Volume 20 Number 1 & 2) ## Monday, August 12, 2013 ### Vintage Magazine Article: "Cinefantastique" November 1989 (Volume 20 Number 1 & 2) This special "Double Issue" of Cinefantastique offered a lot of bang for a Batman '89 fan's buck. Not only did the magazine showcase an in-depth look at the making of the film, but it also featured side articles on director Tim Burton, screenwriter Sam Hamm, makeup effects guru Nick Dudman, designer Anton Furst, and much more! Seriously- Even if you read the scans below of all the pertinent Bat-pages from the issue, no '89 fan should be without this book. Truly, one of the best of the magazines focused on the film available. #### No comments: Newer Post Older Post Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom) A site dedicated to the 1989 Batman film and its sequel Batman Returns!

Batman (1989 film)
Production.:Development.

 A disappointed Uslan then wrote a script titled "Return of the Batman" to give the film industry a better idea of his vision for the film. Uslan later compared its dark tone to that of "The Dark Knight Returns", which his script pre-dated by six years. In November 1979, producers Jon Peters and Peter Guber joined the project. Melniker and Uslan became executive producers. The four felt it was best to pattern the film's development after that of "Superman" (1978). Uslan, Melniker and Guber pitched "Batman" to Universal Pictures, but the studio turned it down. Though no movie studios were yet involved, the project was publicly announced with a budget of $15 million in July 1980 at the Comic Art Convention in New York.
