Official SCHUMACHER CUT Batman Forever Review & Recap 🦇

Join me for this recap & review of my trip to Smodcastle Cinemas in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, where I attended one of only two screenings to ever take place of "Batman Forever: The Schumacher Cut" hosted by Kevin Smith himself 🦇

The "Schumacher Cut" of Batman Forever is a darker, character-focused version of the 1995 film. It gained attention due to its restored scenes, tonal consistency, and fan demand for a deeper exploration of the Batman universe, making it a sought-after alternate cut in the Batman film series.

Fingers crossed we get a physical media release soon

I would love to see the Schumacher Cut of Batman Forever even if it only has a slight changes to the film we already saw.

Batman Forever was the first Batman movie I seen in the cinema and I still love it.

There is the official comic book adapation of Batman Forever (where you can find and read online), where there are included some of the deleted scenes (and the order of the comic scenes is like the order from the original script), including the escape of Two Face from the Arkham Asylum, the scene with the Riddler who gives Chase the shot with the syringe and the original ending with Chase with Alfred (with that famous quote) and then Batman e Robin standing on a gargoyle with the city and the batsignal behind them, so I really believe it was made when the cut of the film was still the one wanted by Schumacher and not the one later modified by Warner.

Batman speech on how he chooses to be batman is literally the best part of the movie, absolute shame they excluded it

[billtree]

Alfred saying "not in this lifetime" is so poignant and sad it honestly made me tear up. Because no Batman ever got to stop wearing the cowl until Christian Bale hung up in DKR. Even Keaton had to don it again for Flash.

I’ve seen every Batman movie to date. I grew up in the 1980s and to this day, even counting every Batman movie made, there’s something that draws me in to Batman Forever. I can’t really explain it.

[garycambridge]

Is this going to get an official blu ray ? I always loved two face quote “ if the bat wants to play we’ll play “ ❤

[ajvonline]

Batman vs Manbat... holy ironic twist!

This needs to happen!

[angrymikko]

I’d love to see the kind of Batman movie Nicole Kidman thought this would be. Her every scene was acted (and weirdly also shot?) like a film noir piece.

[LeftTownMedia]

What Batman Forever needed was flashbacks.

The film should've shown flashbacks of Harvey Dent before he was disfigured.

I’ve been in the minority, but thought Val balanced the Bruce/Batman roles well… didn’t believe MK was a billionaire (awesome Batman) Clooney (bad casting) Bale did both well, Affleck good Bruce bad Batman… just my taste tho

7:28 In the theatrical cut, and it is extremely brief with an overhead shot, we do actually see the floor dissappear around Batman as the lair gets destroyed which revealed half of the floor as a hologram as you say. But it is a blink and you miss it moment as we see Sugar and Spice run away as the lair is destroyed.

[VicMartino]

I sure do hope we get to see the director’s cut of Batman Forever.

[CoenGearhart]

2:23 I think the scene when Batman confronted the riddler should be in the Schumacher because I think the make sense because of the giant bat scene in the Schumacher cut and the line when Batman said I’m both Bruce Wayne and Batman because I chose to be

[jeremybaldic]

This is my favorite Batman movie ❤ Val ‘s the best Bruce Wayne… handsome and debonair!

[handoffate]

Makes me sad general audiences will never see the Schumacher cut.

[heybrowhatup]

The Pee Wee Herman music was hilarious!

Thanks for the video.

[johnromero]

The funniest part of ur breakdown is when u said "abouuut" like a Canadian..😂❤ carry on

[DarkKniight]

BOF sent me here. Thank you for making this video. Hopefully one day WB will release this Director's Cut of the film. I'm surprised they cut some parts out from the original film, I suppose that might be needed to help with the tone of the film. I'd be perfectly fine if they left all the original scenes in and just added in the cut scenes. It would make the film longer and there is nothing wrong with that.
