Re: 1989 Batman Collection
I only collect Batman-related stuff, and the 1989 movie was what got me into collecting. I have a complete collection of the Toy Biz stuff, the entire Batman: Dark Knight figure and vehicle Collection (except for Knock Out Joker), the complete Ertl car collection, tons of random stuff like birthday decorations, yo-yos, sneakers, etc.
One of my favorite things was actually really cheap at the time. I bought the puzzle of the movie poster, put it together and framed it. It looks so much better than a standard poster and has really stood the age of time. I did the same with the Batman Returns one.
And to share a story about the Batman cereal (I don't still have the box, just the plastic Batman bust bank):
I remember not liking the cereal at all, and it stayed in our cupboard until it grew stale, because as a kid who loved Batman, I didn't want to throw it out. Finally, my mom decided to use it as filler in her meatloaf. She didn't want to tell me, as she knew I'd get upset, so she added it in secret.
Later, as we were eating meatloaf, there were little bat-symbols showing up in every bite. She probably should have broken those up a bit...
