I worked on this movie for two weeks while it was in New York City. As a Batman fan, I was really excited and happy to work on it, but there were many frustrating moments. Still my most memorable work experience on a film.

Nostalgia has made Val Kilmer my favorite Batman ❤

If I remember correctly "KISS FROM A ROSE" by SEAL was the ballad song for this film. I remember me and 2 friends watching this at a refurbished Drive-In-Theater in 1995. Everytime I hear that song I put it on blast. It was the resurgance of SEAL's career and kept him from being a one hit wonder with his early 90's jam "CRAZY" which is also Epic! Seal had like a whole albm worked around this soundtrack hit. I like this film. The next one I saw was that PIECE OF CRAP with Clooney where he had the "Bat nipples" LOL! and "Mr. Freeze" aka Schwarzenegger uttering those completely awful puns ick...... Val Kilmer is Underrated. Just for playing Jim Morrison in THE DOORS he should have got an OSCAR and another one for playing Doc Holliday in "Tombstone"

Don't forget about the soundtrack. The U2 & Seal songs were huge summer hits.

In the Batman Forever novel, Grayson saved Chase from muggers in the opening before the Circus Incident, hence she sees him afterward for therapy. Also, at the end, Harvey doesn't lose balance, Robin calls out his hypocrisy, saying he should flip the coin on himself. He does and it comes up tails and Harvey throws himself to his death. Robin in guilt-ridden until Batman tells him Harvey did the right thing in the end.

I hope someday we get the Directors cut on 4k.

I love Val Kilmer as Batman. ❤

"OH NO! IT'S BOILING ACID!"

I loved this movie as a kid. Had the toys, watched it almost every day. Batman is still my favorite now in my late 30's

This is one of my favorite Batman’s. Doesn’t get the credit it deserves.

That actually answered some questions I've had since I was a kid lol. I remember playing the BF Super Nintendo game back when it came out, and I always wondered why the first level was in Arkham Asylum, and why there was a level where you fight on a train somewhere in the middle of the game. I guess the game was based on the original script and not the final cut. I just assumed it was filler, but I guess it wasn't lol

It's interesting to see a few ideas that ended up in the Nolan Batman trilogy, such as the origin flashbacks and the monitoring/spyware through telephone devices.

I loved the merch for this one when I was a kid, especially the McDonald’s cups. It’s definitely grown on me as an adult as well. 😊

I remember seeing the image of Bruce Wayne staying in front of a giant bat and thought it looked pretty cool I would have loved to see a tortured Bruce Wayne story in the movie.

I wonder if Manbat was going to originally be in the movie? I thought it looked really cool, and can't imagine it being for only one scene. Maybe there were concerns of audiences thinking it was Manbat when it wasn't meant to be. In any case, I'd *love* to see this version!

We NEED the longer version of this film

Till this day, this one is still my favorite Batman movie of all time. Yes it was very campy and could have been better, but the suits, Batmobile, and many other things is why i loved it

Definitely shifted away from the path to "The Dark Knight Returns," but I thought Val was a fine Bruce & Batman. I grew up on after school reruns of tv's Batman, so the goofyness slipping in wasn't as bothersome. Jim being Jim as the Riddler was really the worst part for me. Harvey could have been darker and, as you said, his coin results should have been what his personality turned into...not just keep flipping until he gets a result. What's the bloody point of that. Overall though, it was an enjoyable popcorn flick, just not the best Batman story that could have been presented. Thanks again Minty!

You are describing the Batman film that we deserved.

Loved this movie as a teen and loved Val Kilmer as Batman.

Still to this very day my all time favourite Batman film. Not the slightest bit ashamed about it.

I really loved this movie as a kid and was fascinated with all the cut content when I got older. There really is a great movie in there.

The best parts of the script became the Nolan trilogy.

I grew up on Batman Forever. I still enjoy it. I do wish Warner Bros. would release the extended cut.

Couple of years ago sat and watched this with my 2 nephew's (7&8) haddent seen it since the cinema when I was 13/14. Like you said gets mixed up with Batman and Robbin. It's actually better than I remembered. Needless to say my nephew's taught it was amazing

All these years later and I still can't get over this is the same guy that directed The Lost Boys. How the mighty fell.

Release The Schumacher Cut!

This is the best Batman to date and forever . kiss from a rose alone separates it

Really love all these new 'the version you never saw' videos Minty :)

Oh, what could have, and SHOULD have, been. Also, riddle me this, riddle me that, where did Minty get such a cool hat?

One of my favorite movies of all time. Number 3 in the franchise history ❤❤❤❤❤

It's sad that Joel Schumacher is gone. I would love to see a Directors Cut of Batman Forever.

This has always been a favorite of mine!!!

Fun Fact: Dr Burton in *"BATMAN FOREVER"* was played by the late Rene Auberjonois, who was Roy Bagley in the 1976 Para-mount remake of *"KING KONG",* Col. West in *"STAR TREK VI: The Undisco-vered Country"* & Odo in *"STAR TREK: Deep Space Nine".*

I will forever defend Batman Forever. Even in it's compromised state. We'll never see a a live action superhero film as lavish and fantastical as Batman Forever ever again - a superhero film so wholly in its own outlandish and fantastical world. You don't need aesthetic "realism" or "groundedness" to tell a good story. And while most of the heavy stuff was cut, there is still a psychological core to Forever that keeps it compelling.

Keep on the good work Minty! Love your videos! Can you make "The Fisher King"?

Another great video. I’m glad this wasn’t another re upload. Keep up the good work!

I have to give you a lot of credit for your extensive study of movie facts. Because it helps to put a lot of things into perspective. I could see you going far with my alien series, which discusses the universe and why it exists, as it takes a mind like yours to uncover the true nature of why things happen and why they become what they become at the end.

Fascinating. Sounds so much better, Minty. Thank you

This must be my 50th comment over the years saying how much I love your taste in movies Mark! It's identical to mine in every sence. And I was born in 86 (like you) and we've been brought up in the best time for movies. I appreciate every video you do! And this comment is just a reminder of thay!

Minty, I love it when you do these alternate versions. Keep it up!

Good Morning Minty, Cool Video As Always, Keep Up The Good Work, You Have A Great Weekend Sir

Minty, a wonderful job as always. 👍

Dear Minty, this was a superb and wonderful exploration of the original intended "Batman - Forever". What you revealed sounds to me to be everything which Batman is. How Batman, Two Face and Riddler are looked into, as characters, would've made for a far more engaging film for the audience. Each of them are living with either an identity they wish they were OR struggling with one they have? The Jim Morrison reference in the comic, IS OF COURSE, a nod to Val Kilmer playing the Lizard King in the film "The Doors" a few years before. This leaves me fascinated and hoping you do a similar video for "Batman & Robin"? Is the original totally different and superior to what we got OR was it even worse? Or perhaps something we could never imagine? I think what "Batman Forever", and other films like it, prove is how badly interfere from suits or changes to the script, can take away a version which would've treated the audience with brains and robbed the film being seen completely different? Great video and thank you for the hard work you do on this and all your videos. David

"Batman eeeeeeeh!"

Minty Comedic Arts, your videos on the 'Batman 89' series are amazing!!! Keep up the good work!

You do great work my friend. Keep it up. I couldn't agree more with what you posed as the potential Batman Forever movie. Was fun, but could have been great.

Minty! I love your videos bro!

Batman Forever is a guilty pleasure. However, compared to Batman & Robin 😖 its a masterpiece

I honestly believe that the final version did so well for one reason: Jim Carrey was the biggest comedic powerhouse in the world at that time and everyone wanted to see his antics played out in a legendary villian.

I love this movie just as much as Batman and Batman returns. This whole series is just absolutely amazing

I remember batman forever being huge back in the day, but it really hasn't aged well unlike the first 2.

I love this movie a lot! Always a wonderful Batman story to pop on and not have to think about as much stuff you have to with the Keaton films. I personally see this as the Batman comfort movie. Your alternate version stories are very interesting!

I still think it was the best one. The soundtrack was also incredible. Val Kilmer was also interesting.

Would love to see you cover Transylvania 6 5000, watched it a few days ago and honestly thought "that's the most Minty movie I've ever seen!" 😂

2:31 - 2:59 Dr Burton (of Arkham asylum) was played by Rene Auberjonois, Odo in Star Trek DS9

Instead of thank for saving my life Dick. I own you one. Bruce is all like WHAT THE HELL YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING!?

Your use of props that are your collection is always great brother.

I think it would’ve served the movie better for Carey & Jones to swap places as the villains. Carey would use his manic energy to jump between Two-Face’s personalities, and Jones would’ve been a very menacing Riddler.

I really wish we had gotten THIS version, instead.

Minty, are you a little Sickly my friend? Your voice sounds shot. Great vid as always!!

In a way Batman Forever was a step closer to comics-accurate than the Burton movies. It introduced the idea that Bruce was head of a company called Wayne Enterprises and the idea that Batman has it as a sacred code not to kill, for starters. But the tone and feel of Batman Forever are just so cringe compared to the Burton movies, which understood the Batman mythos on a more fundamental level even if they got some of the details wrong.

I think there's an excellent Batman movie trying to get out. If you take the basic premise and execute it differently, you could have something great. Also, I really like the Robin costume

Two-Face makes The Joker look harmless

I think I actually went to see this 9 times in the cinema. I was 10 or 11 years old. Looking back, I suppose it seemed dark and dangerous to me at the time. I also still get chills when I hear those two utterly superb songs, both of which could find a happy home in a Bond film!

That would be so awesome to see the directors cut or darker version.

I like that early promo pic of two face. Never seen that before

Good work!!

Great video!

5:14 haha that editing 😆

Hi thanks for sharing your information about batman

Nicole Kidman in this movie is stunning.

Man this is my favorite Batman movie growing up! Val kilmer was the perfect Batman, and both Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones were legendary as Riddler and Two-Face 💯💯💯💯💯💯🦇🦇🦇🦇

Drew Barrymore as Heckendorf/The Riddler's date at the gala!

I would have loved this original script version! I always felt like Tommy Lee Jones should have been able to use his talent more than was reflected in this version of Two Face. I really liked this movie when i saw it as a tween, but i really think it would've been fantastic to include all of it! Great job on this video, Minty!

I wish they had used this as the shooting script. It would have matched pretty well with Tim Burton’s Batman and Batman Returns.

Nice job Minty :)

Yes! A new minty! I remember seeing this in theaters when I was about 13. Really enjoyed it at the time

I loved this movie I was like 14 when it came out

I hope the Dark Cut gets realest 🖤💙💚🦇🙌

Never seen one of your videos before, but if that is the labyrinth worm on your shelf, you have instantly gained my respect.

Slightly different 2 face, major differences i see, his face looks loads better than that terrible painted on look. Good video again n always minty ❤

Batman Forever should have been a complete reboot of the Batman franchise with Val Kilmer as Batman, Robert England as The Riddler, John Cleese as Alfred Pennyworth, Kurt Russell as Two Face, Dennis Quaid as commissioner Gordon & I personally would have cast someone younger as Robin

When this film came out. This was a very cool film. I liked the art direction, the actors (Val Kilmer though not perfect was a good Batman), the script had issues. However film did seem to have a younger audience in its sights... Oh, it was a nice day back in 1995, when I went to Birmingham Odeon to see this film! I own this on 4K UHD now! Still looks good for it's age.

Saw it multiple times in the cinema, hit the WB movie world Batman experience Even got the mcdonalds glassware, best mctoys ever

Everytime you say Two-Face I think you are saying Toothpaste! Lol must be that wonderful Aussie accent!

This was the first Batman movie I saw in theaters and by myself

Weird I watched it yesterday .. it's not that bad either. It's made for kids so it's cool not dark. I only hate the Batman and Robin movie it's terrible. But this is as you say. A bit 1960s original cheesy far fetched silliness but I love it ❤

I thought Val Kilmer did as well as a job as you could expect. considering the high bar that Michael Keaton established. At one point, Robin Williams lobbied hard for the part. Producers opted for Jim Carrey probably for the star power.. Not saying Jim didn't do a good job but sometimes his manic adlibbing was a bit too much, Though I think it would have much promiment if Robin Williams was casted instead. I think two face was a bit out of placed. And that they sort tried to have Tommy Lee out do Jim Carrey's wackiness over the top performace, which ultimately hurt the Tommy Lee's performance. it would have a lot better had they kept the darker side of two faced. Overall I still enjoyed the movie much better than Batman and Robin

I liked when in vacation 2015 rusty sings the seal song

No matter what people say, I grew up on this and its my favourite batman movie. Nothing can change that. I love val as batman. Say whatever you want, its my opinion.

MINTY!!!!!!!! You’ve lost your Mind!!!!😂😂😂

I really liked the relationship between Bruce/ Batman and Chase. I would have liked to see Nicole Kidman added as a recurring character. She actually makes you care about Bat- Bruce. A missed opportunity. Val.Kilmer and Michael Gough are wonderful.

Riddler looks like Annie Lennox😆😆

You should do ten things you did not know about Adventurers of Pippy Longstocking 1988

Not Gonna lie, batman forever And batman and robin are guilt pleasures of mine since I grow up on them. I didn't mind all the neon light lol

This movie is still awesome even in its theatrical cut! You said it yourself…. Batman Forever later became “clumped in together with Batman & Robin…. But it started out a lot better than that. It is a completely solid and entertaining Batman film.

i would have liked it a lot better if they made Two-Face more like Two-Face and less like the Joker.

Please do more of these versions you never seen for Ghostbusters 2 etc

That connecting to the TV's is just like people being connected to the internet and/or cellphones
