On June 16, we celebrate 25 years of Batman Forever, Starring Val Kilmer as Bruce Wayne/ Batman with Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face and Jim Carrey as the Riddler.
Please join me for Batman Forever 25 Anniversary watch along on June 16 at 6:00pm PST/9:00pm EST.
While this movie is not on (sadly) DC Universe at this time,
If you have this movie on DVD, Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD or on a streaming service without commercial, put that on. And use your computer, phone or tablet to post on this thread. See you there!
I can’t believe this flick is 25! Dating myself, I saw it in the theater with friends: we waited in line for hours, leaving incredibly disappointed. I have access to it, maybe I’ll join if I’m available.
Me too, dude! I was a grumpy teen when it was released. I remember watching the audio commentary with Schumacher a long time ago and I took a totally different position on the film.
Also, as a total film snob, this movie has truly remarkable cinematography. Just saying.
Yeah. Once I started looking at at as a Dick Sprang comic brought to life it helped a lot. I enjoy it now. It’s silly, comfort food. I don’t even consider it a part of the Batman 89 universe. There isn’t enough connective tissue. It’s really a reboot. Retells the origin. Doesn’t talk about previous events.
Now, Batman and Robin doesn’t work. Even Schumacher talks about how he lost all creative control to the studio with that mess.
I love Batman Forever. It’s absolutely my favorite of the Burton/Schumacher quadrilogy, and not only one of my favorite live-action Batman movies, but a favorite live-action DC flick in general.
However, I won’t be at the WAL due to other commitments. I’ll be here in spirit with you, @Lincolnfan78!
As time has gone on, I’ve come to enjoy this movie, but at the time I hated it, from the opening heist scene, the colors, the way the music flourished, I groaned to my friends, that it was like Batman '66, which I have always adored, but I was disappointed back then, because what we loved about Burton’s films was bringing back the dark side of the Dark Knight. I didn’t want to go back to camp. Again, I’ve come to appreciate the film all these years later, and while I’d like to watch along tonight, like Vroom, I can’t but will be there is spirit. Have Fun Everyone!!!
Yesterday I think was the 15 year for Batman Begins. Batman has been a huge part of my life. 89 Batman was the first movie I remember watching in theaters. I’ve been hooked ever since. I can remember vividly were I was 25 years ago. I was watching Batman forever. Lol
Just found this, the original opening for the movie. From what I understand, Forever is one of those movies that was heavily cut for content, so much so that after the announcement of Zack Snyder’s Justice League some were suggesting #releasetheforevercut.
50 more minutes til the watch along, I sure would like to see director cut of Batman Forever, had the movie been longer, it might have even been better! #releasetheforevercut!
