Batman (1989)

Batman is the 1989 film adaptation of the DC Comics character. Directed by Tim Burton, Michael Keaton stars as the Caped Crusader, who matches wits with the Joker (Jack Nicholson). This cycle of Batman films would span 4 films (including Batman Returns, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin) before Christopher Nolan's "reboot" of the franchise in 2005 with Batman Begins.


The following weapons were used in the film Batman:



Colt M1911A1

Bob (Tracey Walter) uses a Colt M1911A1 throughout the movie on several occasions. A random goon also uses one later in the movie.

Colt New Service

Jack Napier/The Joker (Jack Nicholson) uses a Colt New Service throughout most of the film including the BANG flag gun at the film's climax and flashback, where young Napier (played by Hugo E. Blick) shoots Bruce Wayne's parents. The only exception is one small edit when he pulls back the hammer in the Axis Chemical plant. A different revolver was used for this one shot.

Trivia: In Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode "Game Over for Owlman", the Joker is seen with a similar looking revolver from this movie. Also he tries to shoot Batman with it, only to reveal it is fake "BANG" flag gun which is another reference to this movie.

Smith & Wesson Model 1

The Joker (Jack Nicholson) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 1 when he confronts Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton). A metal plate Bruce hid under his shirt stops the bullet.

More Trivia: I also noticed this SMG is used a lot by bad guys in many episodes of Batman: The Brave and the Bold which is again another reference to this movie. To top it all off, I'm going to assume that every gun seen in the hands of bad guys is either from the WW2/Korean War era or is fictional.

Krieghoff Model L flare pistol

The Joker uses this weapon to shoot his TV, then proceeds to hand it to Bob.

Its probably one of those WW2 Japanese double-barrel flare pistols. Or possibly a German one
