Synopsis:

Batman Forever is a great movie, but there are things in it that definitely ruin the experience. Tim Burton’s absence wasn’t the problem.

Intentions:

Imagine seeing Bruce suffering from sadness, guilt and loads of other psychological problems. Then he turns around and shows us his ass. It just doesn’t work for me. Two face was another problem; he’s supposed to be brain damaged not retarded. Why is he acting like the joker? I also muted the colors to the point where some scenes look black and white with color mixed in. As for Chase and Bruce. Their relationship is pointless and they both know this deep down. The new ending emphasizes this. The action sequences were also a little hokey so I recut those as well. I didn’t try to make this into a Tim Burton film by adding Elfman’s scores from the 1st two films. Instead I kept Goldenthal’s score and added some more of his work. The new music is taken from Final Fantasy: TSW and Alien 3. I didn’t have much of a problem with the Riddler. Jim Carrey is a comedic god.

Change List:

* New opening credit sequence (Red Forever logo) using Arkham deleted scene. * No suiting up sequence. From the title to a zooming batmobile. * Two Face’s cackling and joking cut down to a minimum. * Security guard doesn’t whine along to Goldentthal’s music score. Still whines though. * Colors have been slightly muted. * More Elliot Goldenthal music added. * Chase isn’t a filthy whore here. Just a whore. She does not grab Batman’s nipples. * Gordon doesn’t say “definitely suicide”, which made him look like an idiot. * Dick’s family death scene has new music that drowns out the sound. For dramatic effect. * Dick’s pain deleted scene added and altered. * Dick talking to the 4 R&B girls has been cut * Batman’s leap over machine guns at the Ritz Gotham is seen in two angles now. one taken from the trailer. * News report explaining Two Face’s origin has been shortened. It felt forced. * Batman bashing News report deleted scene added and altered. * “Go to her” and “I’ve never been in love before” lines removed. * Riddler’s tiny bombs explode on contact. No baseball gag. * Giant bat and red book revelation deleted scene added and altered, of course. Music and sound f/x. * Batman’s butt has been cut. * Batman doesn’t give Gordon a thumbs up while in the Batwing. * Too many cuts to count. Two pointless action sequences removed. * The villains don’t play Battleship as Batman and Robin head for their hideout. * “It never ends” deleted scene added to the end. * Running hero silhouettes cut from the end.
