"It was really dark, it was a pretty psychological exploration of guilt and shame." Speaking on an episode of On Story for the Austin Film Festival, Goldsman said: "I really am interested to see whether the original cut of Batman Forever comes out because I got to see it, recently, the very very first one, which was Preview Cut: One. Avika Goldsman ( A Beautiful Mind) confirmed in April this year that there is a Batman Forever renaissance coming. The Schumacher Cut may still get released, according to the movie's co-writer.

Schumacher was obviously proud of the work he created with Kilmer, stating that he was a fabulous Batman. Believe it or not, this particular deleted scene is available to view online. This includes a lengthy sequence with Batman starring down a giant, human-sized bat - a bat man, if you will. The majority of the extended runtime is footage focusing on the emotional issues that led Bruce Wayne (Val Kilmer) to becoming Batman. So, should WB #ReleaseThe20000Cut?- Tolkien Negro July 2, 2020Ī week later, a source close to the movie confirmed to Variety that Schumacher did in fact create a longer, darker version of Batman Forever.Ĭhanges are alleged to have included a sequence of Two-Face (Jones) escaping from Arkham Asylum, the Riddler (Carrey) using his cane as a weapon in the Batcave.

is unsure if there's any hunger for what was described to me as a "much darker, more serious" version. I have it on VERY good authority that a 170-minute cut of Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever exists.
