ha yeah

Emphasizing the frame was a clever way to subconsciously remind everyone it will be on video tape.

so the making of batman was interesting. but it seemed to gloss over . . . michael keaton? i mean, the biggest story in the run-up to batman's release was the casting of keaton, over some action-star type. that had to put incredible pressure on the entire project. and it paid-off; he was a comic who showed uncommon depth (like bill murray in lost in translation, those that was a far different type of film, obv.). but until they knew the audience would recognize keaton's greatness in the role, they all had to be living with the weight-of-the-world pressing on them. funny that the making of ignores this key point (and, indeed, mostly ignores keaton entirely).
