The Batman OnStar commercials of Andrew Davis with Curtis Armstrong as the Joker

Birthday boy Andrew Davis is a famous, big-time director of THE FUGITIVE, UNDER SIEGE and COLLATERAL DAMAGE, but in 1990, he directed a series of Batman-centric ads for OnStar, the system that allows you to unlock your car by remote.  (It was a big deal in 1990.)  Here they all are, combined into one really strange-looking narrative featuring Michael Gough returning as Alfred and Curtis Armstong as the Joker.  (Batman is not played by Michael Keaton, but rather Bruce Thomas, who later voiced Jim Gordon in the SON OF BATMAN animated film.  So you can used THAT as a trivia point along the lines of "What actor has played both Batman AND Jim Gordon?")
