Batman Forever is one of the most divisive Batman movies to date, but Joel Schumacher’s 170-minute cut might have been better received, as it left a lot of interesting scenes out. Although Tim Burton’s Batman Returns is now regarded as one of the best superhero movies ever made, it wasn’t well-received during its release, leading Warner Bros. to make some changes. In order to shake off the darkness of Batman Returns, Joel Schumacher was brought in as director and Val Kilmer was cast as Bruce Wayne/Batman, and together they gave the Caped Crusader a new tone in Batman Forever.Accompanying Kilmer’s Batman were Nicole Kidman as Chase Meridian, Jim Carrey as Edward Nygma/The Riddler, and Tomy Lee Jones as Harvey Dent/Two-Face, and together, they made Batman Forever a campier movie that still managed to retain some of the darkness from Burton’s movies. Batman Forever was a box office success and got mixed reviews, but its reception could have been different had Schumacher’s cut been released. The Schumacher cut of Batman Forever hasn’t been released yet, but details about it have been revealed over the years – and here’s every known cut and change in the director’s cut of Batman Forever.
