WB once had to defend Tim Burton’s Batman in this 1988 video

Before Warner Bros puts Superman and Batman in the same movie, we should remember how we got to this point. While Tim Burton’s take on Batman was liked by most fans for reasons, Warner Bros had to prove to shareholders that the whole thing wasn’t going to bomb. 

To celebrate the film’s 25th Anniversary, a press video kit has been uncovered that goes behind the scenes and details how Burton’s film was sold. Interesting stuff. Hit up 1989Batman.com for a nice interview with the director of the short, Andrew Gillman.
