75 behind-the-scenes photos from 8 Batman movies

Batman's 75th birthday was yesterday and to celebrate Reddit user "Join_You_In_The_Sun" put together a gallery of behind-the-scenes photos from eight live-action Batman movies. The movies include Batman: The Movie, Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises. A lot of the photos were new to me, hopefully they are to you as well. Check them out and let me know which ones are your favorites in the comments below.

Wow, good stuff. I'm especially a big fan of #45. It's a bit strange, but cool to see how Heath wasn't wearing any makeup underneath the mask in the bank heist scene.

I didn't find out until recently that the mask he wore in that scene was based on the mask Cesar Romero wore in his first Joker appearance. I found that to be awesome.

If Affleck turns in a lousy Batman, him and his buddy Clooney will have something to bond over.

  but here's the thing...HE'S NOT! Affleck is going to be an awesome, true to the comics Bruce Wayne/Batman.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think this was a Batman movie.

  I'd much rather it be a dual Superman/Batman 50/50 movie which it looks like its gonna be. Think Public Enemies. And to reply to your comment, i dont think its Batman-centric because you have to introduce batman better than just batman himself. we already seen a 2.5 hour movie on supes and his supporting cast and I like this way of introducing Batman in the sequel/mashup in order for viewers to differentiate the nolan and the affleck. And also to further expand the DCCU (killing 3 birds with 1 stone w/ Wonder Woman) so yeah, the batfleck movies will come AFTER this dual film and justice league

The Dark Knight Rises is a blatant rip off of the World is not Enough just as the Punisher 2008 is a Batman 1989 rip off.

I wouldn't go far as to call it a ripoff. Nolan never made it a secret that his Batman was heavily influenced by James Bond. But I do see a bit too many similarities in terms of plot and characters between TDKR and TWINE.

  I still see too many people overanalyzing TDKR.
  1. ProgressiveDog
    April 1, 2014
    It's not over analyzing to point out the plot similarities between two movies.

Well for me TDKR is my favorite out of the three! (Just replying back to your off topic comment :D

I wish there more snaps from the Schumacher films. The movies weren't great, but I bet they had a bunch of fun putting it all together.

This whole gallery was like a weird recap of some of my best childhood memories. Thanks Chris, I don't think I would have seen this if it wasn't for this site.

Pretty cool to see Chris Nolan in the harness in pic 42. I can't imagine many directors doing that. Most of them probably stand in the back and yell.

And the whole cast & set look so serious as if they really believe in batman & the gang thumbs up!

  That's better than having a director yelling to his cast "We're making a comic book. Action!"

  No you're incorrect. I'm pretty sure it's goggle, not googles. Google is a search engine. DUH! You say googles, I say goggles. Googoogaga.

Bale really has a stupid tiny chin for a man in a Batman costume. Anyone agree on that?

Some of these images were cribbed from my Batman- The 1989 Film blog... including one I took of the Batman Returns boot I own.

http://www.1989batman.com/2...

I like what the guy did... but crediting the sources would have been nice and would have maybe lead folks to some really cool Batman fan sites. Oh well...
