How old were you when Tim Burton’s Batman came out in theaters in 1989? Ten? Two? A half-formed idea in the back of your parents’ minds? I was five, and therefore the impact the film had on Hollywood was somewhat lost on me growing up. But even at that young age, I still remember its ubiquity, the sense that it was somehow profound, and that if I didn’t see it my place in the world would be less valid.
Batman was doing something right for it to achieve that kind of heated fervor in the mind of a (admittedly weirdly intense) child, and indeed the film did so many things right that Hollywood has never, for better or worse, been the same since.
