To commemorate the 25th anniversary of director Tim Burton's noir take on the Dark Knight, BuzzFeed's Senior Film Reporter Adam B. Vary, 34, re-watched the movie with Editorial Assistant Ariane Lange, 24.

Adam B. Vary: When the 1989 Batman first opened, Ariane, I was 10 years old and saw it in the theater. I do not believe this was your given circumstance at the time?

Ariane Lange: When the 1989 Batman first came out, I was a week or two away from conception. Although, looking at a calendar, I realize it's possible that I was a zygote or something.

ABV: Yes. Um. Different. I've since seen this film probably nearly a dozen times since, but not in a long while.

AL: I have never seen it! As I understand, it's the first really dark mainstream superhero movie, which is exciting.

ABV: That is true, unless you count Superman III, which scared me silly as a child, but that is for a different time. Since it is the 25th anniversary of the film's release, how about we watch it together and see what happens?

AL: Yeah, I have eyes now, so this is perfect timing.

ABV: One final question before we start: What else do you (think) you know about this movie?

AL: I think...well, without looking it up, I don't know who the bad guy is, but my guess is the Joker or the Riddler. Nice how verbal those names are. I think that Gotham has a dearth of streetlamps, so there will be many shadows. I guess that's it. Batman will best a bad guy.

ABV: All of that is essentially accurate! Let's dive in!
