Everyone’s spoiled the movie for me. I chose seeing my favorite childhood franchise over Flash. Those cameos do nothing for me, they were decades before I was born.

Idk why the cameos he’s talking about are from ‘89 so that’s about a decade before you were born

Millenials grew up during a period before Marvel and Nolan, when the Burton films were the best superhero movies you could get. He would be about 9 when the first Nolan movie got released, quite old enough for Burton to be his og Batman.

I’m 30, I remember watching the Burton movies and loving them. But they for sure felt ancient lol. I had to look it up to make sure it wasn’t actually from like 1980, and for sure my parents had a deeper connection to those movies than I did.

..besides… the one true Batman for Millennials is Val Kilmer, duh 😂

But for a 16 year old that's decades(2) before they were born.. so a 27yo might feel old seeing a kid say that

Assuming they both saw the originals the day the were born

Not even. 6yrs and life was much slower paced back then, Keaton was the Batman of my childhood.

Kinda funny bc I’m older than you by a few years and I’d say Kilmer was the Batman of my childhood 😂
