Hubba Hubba Hubba, Money Money Money, Who Do You Trust?

When Batman came out in 1989 it was a full week before I got to see it (crunch time on the Ghostbusters attraction at Universal) and by that time I heard all my friends tear it to shreds. I went in with low expectations...and loved it, still do. There are some eye roll moments, but this was the first super hero movie that wasn't just downright silly or bad, and it still holds up. This pivotal scene where Joker tries to poison the residents of Gotham with festive parade floats  (spoilers!) has been gloriously recreated in bricks by builder Cpt. Brick, and I totally love it.

I don't care if it's cool to bash on Burton's Batman, I'm not gonna. When it came out in 1989 I was super busy at work and didn't get to it for a couple weeks. In that time I listened to all my coworkers and friends bash on it for some reason or another. So When I finally went to see it my expectations were understandably really low...I LOVED it. Keaton is still my favorite Batman and Bruce. And while I find Jack's makeup a bit distracting, his Joker was pretty awesome. I think builder Cpt. Brick is in my camp, judging by this brilliant MOC of Joker's parade at the end of the movie.
