bat nipples

never seen Schumackers Bat films, I would not mind seeing Batman Forever, if i liked it i would probably like it as a Jim Carrey Movie not as a Batman movie, and as for Batman And Robin, i would not see it in my life.

I'll confess that i did see Batman Forever at the cinema, but that was when i was 11 years old and subsequently i was young and stupid due to my parents dragging me along. As for Batman and Robin, i saw that as well aged 13, which i completly and utterly regret every day of my life. Now, i wouldn't watch both of them.

Luckily, i started reading the classic graphic novels and comics during my college days and realised Batman is meant to be a dark, conflicted vigilante who's alter ego is a spoilt rich playboy.

Give me the Christopher Nolan films, the Animated Series. the Arkham Asylum game and even Tim Burton's superior classics over Joel Schumacher's lame entries anyday of the week.

Never seen Schumachers Batman films, If someone was watching Batman Forever, i would watch it and enjoy it as a Jim Carrey Movie, but as for Batman And Robin, i would never watch it in my life.

^The man who should pick out scripts/edit and direct the next Batman movie after Nolan is done.

I personally think that there should be a British BBC series of Batman set in London, with the executive producers Steven Moffat and Julie Gardner.

as for the cast

Jeremy Edwards (Holby City, Hollyoaks) as Batman/ Bruce Wayne
Larry Lamb (Gavin And Stacey, EastEnders) as Alfred Pennyworth

Joel Schumacher's Batman movies SUCKED.

you said the same thing twice. don't repeat yourself

agreed

sorry

its fine

Batman Forever had good elements in it, and when you look at the deleted scenes and the novelisation, it could have been much, much better. For example, in the film as put into the cinemas, the dreams Bruce had lost significance, you just see Bruce clutching the diary and seeing the giant bat. What was originally intended was that Bruce seems to remember later in the film reading in his parents' diary that it was all his fault that they went out the night they were killed, and that he repressed the memory. This is why he considers leaving behind Batman. But after the assault of Two-Face and the Riddler on Wayne Manor, Bruce wakes up, temporarily, with amnesia. Alfred takes him to the Batcave to try and jog his memory. And Bruce, while investigating, not only comes across the giant bat that haunts his dreams, but also the diary. He learns that it wasn't his fault they went out, that his parents wanted to see something else while going out that night.

They also changed Two-Face's death in the novelisation. Batman knocks Two-Face's coin out of the air, but Two-Face merely falls onto a nearby girder while catching it, cursing Batman. Robin, however, chastises Two-Face, saying angrily that Two-Face never had the courage to use the coin on himself. Two-Face does so, gives Robin a sardonic lecture, and jumps to his death.

If you can track down the novelisation of this, do so. It does redeem much of the movie.

i'm glad you are all true batman fans

I was six years old when Batman and Robin was released, and my parents bought it for me when it was released on video. I enjoyed it when I was little.

I haven't seen the movie in years, so I couldn't give a fresh review of it at this moment.
